Hey, FYI the American War for independence in 1776 Ben Franklin and his son never spoke to one another after the Signing of the Declaration. In my opinion Ben Sr was right and on the right side, but it cost him his family. My suggestion since you son doesnt seem to be part of the military like Franklin's son was, don't make this issue the center point if all you talk about with him. While I think your right our country isn't facing an open military assault on us soil, and I would suggest keeping red pulling to a minimum of no more than 2 small comments here and there. U need to slowly win him overtime by mentioning one or 2 oddities, and you'll slowly change his mind without him realizing it while saving your relationship. Sure you'll have the occasional blow up, but it will be less frequent. I participate here because I have to keep my red pulling to a min since the ppl here seem to atleast listen so it keeps me from brining the full map to our dinner tables 24x7.
One more point. This son is very intelligent. Way way smarter than me. But he will never come around so i guess i never attempt to further his physical survival again. He is on his own now. I got both boys survival books. They r heads of their households. They r the safety responsible parties IMO. U can lead a horse to water but u cant make him drink.
Good advice. Thanks. Its just that telling what to prep for put me trouble as he gave me these pregnant pauses on the phone. On this site there r many post forecasting doom daily. Forced vax. Non vax camps. Digital money tyranny. Tomorrow they grab the guns. Etc. Etc. I should take a month off but my issue is this where i get my current news.
I have this same kinda problem.. I have some people in my life that won’t see it no matter how well I explain it.. and because I love them, I was trying to fill them in too excitedly. I realize now I’m better off answering questions if they have them instead of telling them what I feel/believe is going on in the world. It’s a whole lot slower approach but it doesn’t rattle the relationship the way pushing it on people did. I look at it as kinda like witnessing to someone.. going at someone full charge doesn’t always net the best results.. but a few well placed examples slid into a conversation here and there let them think about it on their time and let their curiosity grow rather than me annoying the shit outta everyone I know or even scaring them
