I am sure many of you have experienced huge frustration when trying to "red-pill" your friends to no avail. From my own personal observations of my friends, it comes down to how much they trust the system.

I have some incredibly intelligent friends, Some are red-pilled and on board, some think I am batshit crazy (I haven't even talked about the crazy stuff). I also have some... not so intelligent friends (we all do) again same position. Some are fully red-pilled, are not. Clearly, this isn't an intelligence thing, it is a trust thing. I will give you an example.

My college roommate is a nuclear physicist. Here is a guy who went through the system, got academic and athletic scholarships, bought a house and is married. Even though i consider him to be very intelligent and someone who is very very logical in his thinking, he has 100% full trust in the system. Who can blame him? Even though all of his values actually align with Trump, there is nothing I can say that will make someone like that stop trusting the system. It has done him well.

My high school friend is a doctor. Again, almost the same story (no athletic scholarships) however, covid woke him right up. I had no idea he was red-pilled until i made a joke about the vaccine and he sharpened up real quick and gave me a look. I thought aw fuck, here we go. Here comes some liberal pandering. Long story short, he told me he keeps a mental record and he could CLEARLY see a direct correlation between how sick somebody was, and how many boosters they had. He also mentioned he couldn't say anything out-loud or he would be shamed and ran out of his job. Ultimately this broke his trust in the system and led him down the rabbit-hole much like we did.

My point being, it can be incredibly frustrating when your good friends or family can't see what is really going on, but to me it means they have experienced that break of trust in the system. Once the trust is broken, then people will ask questions.
