Now these guys aren't full blown normies. They are compliant non-normies. They don't want to rough it.
Regular hang out session, normal convo, then normie friend asks me whether or not I think covid bs is gonna push again this coming winter. It's him, his brother, myself and another friend. 4 of us in total 3 out of 4 jabbed one triple jabbed.
Normie- You gonna take shots if they push it again?
Me- You already know the answer to that.
Normie- haha yea. But I'll do whatever it takes to keep my job.
At this point I can see he's trying to bait me into an argument because he feels guilty about taking it so his rationale is to try to convince himself that he had to and therefor I'm not better than him even though I never said I was
Me- You do what you have to do. But understand one thing; every single person in this country, frankly this planet is going to have to make a decision soon. You can comply all you want and think you're doing it for your wife and 2 kids, but your children will face the consequences. Sooner than later you will have to make that decision. And your children will pay for it greatly if you take the easy road and comply. It's not a conspiracy, it's not a maybe, it's inevitable and it will be our generation that makes that choice.
He sat there for a minute and his first reaction was to respond with offense because he thought I was attacking him but before he could, his younger brother said "yup". At that point, I could see the thoughts beginning to swirl in his mind
Now I'm sure he will just rationalize it as time goes on, but that's the reality these normies don't understand.
It's coming at them and real fast.
If the job killed them in some other way, would they still be doing it?
Pretty sure that tepid counter can easily be shut down by something like "Its weird that you love your employer so much that you would die for them... I cant relate to that at all.. but each to their own"
As though there are no other options?
Black 40 year old lady that I work with brought up politics in a round about way saying she's tired of all the nonsense that the news shows and that it's clear that most of it is bullshit, she then asked me who I think should run for President. I told her Trump, by a long shot and she was like "Why? He's racist." So I say to her along the lines of "So the media, that you clearly know is lying to you and it's all just bullshit told you that Trump is a racist and you'll believe that? What exactly has Trump done that can be called racist?" She was like "I don't know, he seems racist to me." She then bitched about the stupid gas prices (back to 5+ dollars for 87 octane here).
It's a shame because she is on the cusp of breaking free but still clings to a lot of the bullshit.
My wife just buries her head in the sand. Any discussion of what is going on and she goes full REEEEEEEE!!!!!, just like you see women on the Internet do.
Just tell them you have a good lawyer who help him write his will. And if he’s married tell him your buddy can get a special power of attorney.
Then tell him to google “dies suddenly”.
His wife is 4 shots deep. Lost her baby two weeks after the second shot and has been sick non stop for months.
these are the ones that really baffle me. Not your friend in specific, but the ones that clearly suffer a massive loss due to the circumstances you tell them about it and they deny it. In a sense, I can understand the need for mental self preservance there.
The funnier ones to me are the posts (try QAnonCasualties) that say "My sister, brother, both my parents, three grandparents, two uncles, and 6 of my friends all believe in QAnon!! It's just me and my aunt left! Why is everyone so stupid and crazy and racist??!!"
You have to convince them step by step.
Not all at once.
I've been working on these guys for 20 years lol. The younger brother knows he's just too into the older brothers opinion.
He knows what the reality is, I just laid it out for him. We are at the edge now regardless. It's time to hammer them with the choice they need to make soon with pure honesty.
You did well.
Sounds good.
That doesn’t work at my house so we just agree to disagree.
Dang that was good. Glad he has a friend that doesn’t bullshit him just to get along.
I refuse to bullshit anyone. I often get into tangles here, in person or elsewhere because of it. We ain't at a time in society where bullshitters are needed lol
I feel this. I sometimes have to look down to make sure I’m not to high on my soapbox when sounding off. But it’s gotta be said. Opposition comes. And then reality hits. And we just keep on helping those who seemingly can’t help themselves. These past two years have been interesting, no doubt. Exciting. But at the same time, aggravating. Still is.
There is just such a yawning divide between where these people are in their realities, versus what is actually going on.
I see the divide every day and it’s mind boggling.
They probably think the divide is mind boggling as well, but I trust myself and my opinions.
I’m good at pattern recognition and I trust my spirit (God’s spirit), to point me in the right direction.
It’s never let me down yet.
Pattern recognition, intuition and The Spirit Of God Trumps all their BS and propaganda any day.
“Let’s set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war. But there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace and you can have it in the next second. Surrender! Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this but every lesson in history tells us that the “greater risk” lies in ”appeasement” and this is the spectrum our well meaning liberal Christian friends, our big priests, bishops and pastors refuse to face. Accommodation is appeasement. It gives us no choice between peace and war, only between fight or surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we will have to face the final demand, the final ultimatum. And what then when Satan has told the people of this world he knows what our answer is going to be, he has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of his Cold War and when the time is right to deliver his final ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because you see, we will be so weaken from within spiritually, morally, economically, he believes this because from our side he has heard voices pleading for peace at any price or better red than dead, as one commentator put it, he rather live on his knees than die on his feet, and there in lies the road to war, because those voices don’t speak for the rest of us, you and I know it that we do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet that has to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin? Just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery unde the Pharaoh? Should Christ have refused the Cross? Should the Patriots at Concord Bridge refuse to fire the shot heard around the world? The martyrs of history were not fools and our beloved who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis did not die in vain. Where than lies the road to peace? Well, there is a simple answer after all that you and I have the courage to tell our enemies, there is a price we will not pay, there is a point beyond where evil must not advance, in other words as Regan said, “Evil is powerless, if the good are not afraid.”
Good conversation. It’s definitely coming for the multi jabbed fast. This Winter will be a test of their weakened immune systems for starters. And then as you were indicating if you go along to get along, at some point it’s going to cost you too much & the next generation, so you’ll have to stand up.
Winter? Fren, there is already a massive shortage of cold and flu medicine all over North America.
Been happening since late summer of 2020 which was what? Jab release.
this is how its done
