I thought he’d already had to get the jab for work - but turns out he hasn’t yet. He’s not a liberal leftist or anything like that - just a guy who believes in playing by the rules, who wants to be able to have his freedoms. Hard worker, honest, responsible. And it occurred to me that the majority of people out there are probably like that - after all, we’re taught to listen to and respect authority. We want to be good citizens. They’ve turned that on us - that we are “rewarded” only when we do what we’re told. And, like most people, he doesn’t like the idea of his freedoms being restricted - so he’s going to comply and get the whole family jabbed. Unfortunately he doesn’t realize that doing so - complying with a regime that’s overstepping - will cost him the very freedoms he’s trying to sustain. So I’ve been trying to redpill him this morning, but he’s become impatient with me. I just tried to illustrate the following: 1) that everybody should have the right to choose - not just the people who choose what the narrative says is the “right” choice, 2) that all information comes via the internet these days - how do we really determine what is “reliable”? (because it isn’t automatically unreliable because it comes from the internet), and 3) that you have to question any narrative, “reliable source” or authority figures who censor dissenting opinions.
I probably won’t get a chance to broach the subject with him again, but hopefully he respects me enough to give it some thought. I’m definitely praying for that. I’m also praying the lid blows on this thing and the reality is exposed sooner than later, because the repercussions of that not happening are getting a bit too close for comfort, in my humble opinion.
This describes all of my adult children.
It is really difficult to red-pill them. In order for us to be correct, they have to accept that the CDC, the FDA, the NIH, and the WHO are all corrupt and evil. They have to accept that NPR, MSNBC, Fox News, etc are all evil and in on the sinister plot. They have to believe that all the doctors and nurses that are distributing and injecting the vaccines are either ignorant or corrupt.
Think about how difficult it is for normies to accept that possibility. They are not dumb. They haven't seen any evidence from the other side. You can't whip out a scientific paper from your back pocket, or forward a document to them via email and expect them to discount everything they believe.
I am no expert at psychology or how to convince people. Yet that is what we must become. I didn't know anything about immunology, but I have been forced to learn some. Our press is useless. Our government is corrupt and against us. This is not an easy thing.
