We got on the discussion of the vaxx, and they (husband and wife) told us that they just got their booster shots this week. They asked if we were vaxxed, and politely I said no, and that we’re going to rely on our God-given immune system, with vitamin supplementation to protect us. Immediately the conversation changed, and then of course, the following statements and charges began:
-
“don’t you care about the health and well-being of others?
-
“It’s the most researched and studied vaccine in the history of medicines”
-
“It’s safe and effective”
I realized quite quickly that my neighbors, as sweet and caring as anyone could ask for, have been thoroughly brainwashed. I finally told them “I disagree with your statements, and I’m not going to discuss anything further, because I already know that I’ll be considered a conspiracy theorist. I respect both of you and your decision - as much as I disagree with it…I’m not here to tell you that you’re wrong - I’m here to enjoy our time together as friends.”
Those words really seemed to diffuse the situation. They had one other thing to say, as I told them that I’ll likely be losing my job next month due to the mandates. They were astonished that I would rather lose my great paying job at a Fortune 500 company, rather than get the clot shot. Regardless, we moved on with our night and had a great time together.
I’m beyond trying to help people with avoiding these shots. Sometimes it’s better to simply agree to disagree and keep your friendships. Just thought I’d share my recent experience with my frens 🐸
"I grew up with the people in this town,born here, raised here, know everyone's parents, kids and history and I became the enemy in one night at one school board meeting, even if covid goes away tomorrow, I can never be civil to these people again."
That is both heartbreaking and a powerful reminder how things will never be the same again. Even if we win. This country is finished. These scars will never heal and friends/relationships have been rended apart forever.
Things will heal with time. New tech and AI are gonna be a huge culturally disruptive force over the next 20 years. The collective unconscious has no choice but to evolve.
I will never forget that I am surrounded by retards though. THAT will be indelible on my hippocampus.
Gonna be harder and harder to find a pureblood crew without any tattoos...
I agree. She really summed it up right there. All these people you lived with every day, who felt compelled to judge you as inferior and stupid, based on a lie from the government. It is easier to confront and hate on people when you are wearing a mask. Families may overcome in time but our community never will. We are choosing to start over elsewhere.
Yes so right, the healing will take a long time and maybe never. So sad just breaks my heart.💔
