We are both in our thirties. My brother gained an incredible understanding of politics at a young age. He is VERY ANTI WOKE, to this day.
He’s always had a full time job, often 40-60 hrs weekly. Single guy, no children. Very upset about the stolen 2020 election, he was convinced we were going to civil war, like HOT war. Stopped working completely about 7 months ago.
He hates the idea of any type of work. Huge ego problem. No longer takes accountability. He stopped all drinking about 3 months ago. I was hoping we might see improvement. He has now achieved, what I believe to be his “final hollow form”. He sucks all joy from the room. He finds pleasure in absolutely nothing. He plays video games but he doesn’t even seem to enjoy those much anymore.
This is a guy who deeply understands the conversations between Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris. He had an INCREDIBLE wealth of self help knowledge. He has rehabilitated two very close friends with severe drug issues, years apart. Both success stories, not outstanding guys, but both turned their lives around.
He is also a huge fan of Jocko (if you’re not familiar, check him out. Legend has it he didn’t want to fill out any paperwork when his service with the SEAL team was up, he just left, end of story).
Today he helped me with a job. Standing near him was unfamiliar. I felt like I was standing next to a stranger. My brother and I were mostly inseparable until our 20’s. I know my brother better than anyone and it wasn’t him. It looked like him but his presence was spooky. I was actually looking forward to time with him today.
My mother, who had to drive him over (since he decided he no longer needs a vehicle) said she also was super disturbed by his presence today. She sobbed nearly half the car ride.
I’m a grown ass man. Being in the presence of my brother had me on the verge of a mental breakdown. He will not allow joy in his presence. He is a master at manipulating any situation into a miserable experience.
If this isn’t demonic possession, I’d greatly appreciate insight or input as to what you may believe we are witnessing.
JESUS CHRIST IS KING!!!!!
THE NATURE THING!!!!
I think you’re right. He was attending school virtually to be an HVAC tech in the beginning of the pandemic. He was fairly isolated. I don’t think he intended to isolate himself but he started to show incredible frustration towards the mask BS. Between Covid nonsense and a stolen election. He turned into a huge pessimist after the election. I was probably even lower than he was though. I was teetering on manic for three months following the election.
It was only after I started watching Infowars I was able to see beyond the fog. I realized the answer wasn’t violence. I realized we need to be the change we want to see in the world. As soon as I started listening to Alex, my brother seemed to drop his interest in politics entirely. When we discussed politics he spoke only of war and hopelessness. I tried so incredibly hard to talk him out of this mindset.
I constantly speak optimistically regarding our footing in this asymmetrical war. Last weekend my family and I were joking about how excited and cheery I’ve been in the face of nuclear war. I don’t want nukes but I don’t fear. I have God. Im excited to see what the future holds.
I really feel like nature would help but last year we went on a two day, tent camping trip and he bailed after the first day. He is the biggest wimp I know. He doesn’t like being dirty, he can’t stand being uncomfortable. It’s crazy to think he used to love nature. He used to get dirty and shoot snakes and eat wild shit.
Maybe he put himself in “hot war” mode which never arrived since this entire past few decades has been asymmetrical warfare waged by global elites. Maybe he lost his mind while he was waiting for shots to pop off.
Well, then, there you go!
I've got some buddies who were gung-ho MAGA Patriots to the core... and got rocked so hard by COVID Scamdemic, Jan 6th False Flag, and Election Fraud, that they could never get past it. Basically, the notion that this is still part of "The Plan" or that Trump is still coming back pre/post 2024, is impossible for them to see.
The more intricate this situation gets, the longer it is seemingly hopeless. Though I personally don't have any doubts - I can certainly understand why people would.
I don't know how to fix it... I wish I did.
I've even seen it happen to people who were pretty deep into Q.
Q or no Q, the hopelessness needs to end. It's getting pretty dangerous from a mental stability standpoint.
We need a hammer to drop, soon.
