I just got a phone call. He died this afternoon.
I don't even know what to say. I just don't have anybody else that I can share my frustration with. So I am posting this here.
Thanks for just being here.
Thank you mods for making this place available.
they have been deceived by every expert and authority they have been taught to trust
Growing up, I was let down, deceived, betrayed, etc. by every Big Force in life that you’re supposed to admire, look to as authority figures, trust to guide you through life. If none of that had happened, I would have lined up and gotten the jab too. Weird how life primes you for things. All that crap I went through is saving my life now. You can’t learn to not trust authority figures until they’ve taught you that they’re untrustworthy. Sometimes you learn that as a little kid. Sometimes you learn it at the end of a syringe. The ones I grew up thinking were “lucky” are actually supremely unlucky. Ain’t life grand?
