We spend a lot of time together. We live less than 15 minutes apart. Work in the same room and carpool to work. My best friend is a middle of the road anti-conspiracy (left or right) libertarian. Doesn't share any feelings about Trump/Biden/Killery or anyone else. I stopped talking politics with him. I only give quick comments to stories we here on the news driving in to work, which he never responds to.
He will only vote for the Libertarian candidate no matter who it is. He is blind to the bigger picture that is right in front of his eyes as large as life. It's frustrating. I just pray for him.
He is vaxxed and will get vaxxed again if needed. For a libertarian he has a odd trust in system. I dont' get it.
The most perplexing thing is that he is one of the most intelligent people I have EVER known. It's mind boggling. His head is buried so deep in the sand only his toes are poking out.
How can someone be wired to be incredibly intelligent but not see what's in front of them?
The only thing that makes sense is the sad fact that he is 100% an atheist. I have become a VERY devout follower of Lord Jesus. He wants nothing to do with it.
I will keep praying for his salvation and giving praise to the lord.
he's too deep in the matrix. don't tell him anything, ask him questions that open Red pill doors
For many, it’s too big of a hurdle to wrap their mind around the idea that everyone or everything can be wrong. Particularly for those that fancy themselves as intellectuals and place a premium on information from an authoritative source (professors, the NYT, NPR, etc). It’s unthinkable that they could all be wrong, and they certainly don’t want to hear they’re wrong by someone who they may see as intellectually inferior.
I agree that's why you have to get people to go home and do their own research. everybody has their own red pill moment or topic.
My father is not an atheist, but he is full blown brainwashed, and I mean totally. He thinks Bidan has done a better job as president than Trump and that Bidan won the election. He has serious TDS. Has no problems with illegals over running our country, has gotten all the shots and thinks masks work. Doesn’t think our gov would do anything to hurt us, in other words he doesn’t believe that cvd was made in a lab and sent out into the world. He tells me that he will believe the stuff I say if I can prove to him they are true, but it would depend on the source of the information. What does that tell you? That he will not trust any source I give him because it won’t be one he knows of & trusts. Hope the WH’s have some damn good evidence that shows without doubt all we here know, so the brainwashed masses can finally wake up & be free.
My eldest son claims to be a “libertarian”. This is a masquerade. It is what closet commies/libtards call themselves because they know they are fucked up. He is not a Libertarian, he is a coward. TRUE Libertarians would never comply with horse shit mandates. Actually, they would be the first ones in the ‘fuck you’ group. Your buddy IS NOT a Libertarian, like my kid IS NOT a Libertarian. Let me ask … Is he married to, or ‘with’ a libtard woman? It has been my observation, the VAST majority of the Pozeratti are pussy whipped by a liberal chick. FYSA … he was raised my my ex, and her effeminate husband. If he were in this house he would not tolerate that disgusting ideology.
you mean a LIBERALtarian, a liberal trying to hide his bullshit ideology amongst people who supposedly believe in liberty. he's really a communist. the true giveaway is his atheism.
Excellent observation.
He is divorced with no kids and lives alone with no plans to ever marry again.
100% he is a coward.
Sounds like he hasn't been "humbled" yet in life.......the time will come.
I have a genius friend whose IQ is at least 200. And he is still a liberal.
SAME. I have two actually. Both are married to ‘Karens’. BOTH. ALSO, both are extremely well educated military Officers. Pathetic pussy whipped chumps.
Educated = Indoctrinated.. The [Jesuits] have taken over all the "Indoctrination Centers" (aka: Universities, Colleges, Higher EduMacation), and [they] are now showing their ugly heads in Public EduMacation schools (K-12).. Not all of the [Jesuit] trained people are bad, but to many are bad (greedy). And when you say your friends are 'military Officers', is it safe to assume in the last few (90's forward/Clinton on) decades?
Some of Earth's smartest people literally have no common sense.
None. Zip. Nada. I find the more formal education, the more agnostic...and if they're wrong about that the consequences are too immense to fathom, so they can't ever be wrong about anything or the house of cards falls.
To me, a sign of true intelligence is being able to see the downstream effects of past, current, and future decisions or events. I know a lot of book-smart individuals that performed great in their education and scored high on standardized tests. These same people, however, are some of the most naive and gullible souls. They believe authority and can't possibly fathom our government would deceive us in any way. They also do not have gift of foresight; something I believe truly smart people possess. Intuition is a gift.
It is like talking with someone about religion, and they are an Athesiust. All you can do is tell them. They have to find the way themselves. But brow-beating someone to your point of view never works. Just point out when you do them tell. See I was about this.
It has nothing to do with intelligence, it is ego… make one mistake continue on with more mistakes until that one day force to wake up …
Most smart people I know are like this very anti religion and believe everything the government is selling
The easiest way to always be right is to sit on top of the fence. Whichever direction the wind blows, you will always find yourself lying on that side of the fence.
Maybe appeal to the inner conscience.
Make clear that one's own actions, or inactions, affect everyone else.
Mask wearers are a good example of this. They comply and hurt everyone by doing so.
If he thinks he’s smart, he’d think he’s losing face by admitting he was wrong all these years. Pride locks weak people into evil behaviour.
Some of the most intelligent people would not be able to catch a city bus. The schedule is too easy for them to understand.
He is not meant to be awake like you. Your spiritual immune system is strong and his is not.
Hopefully he is not one of the 4-6% who will never wake up.
he sounds scared to me, afraid of the world around him. the old school "book smart" person, who has little knowledge of the world around them.
his moral compass is out of wack & seems to not have anything he can "anchor" himself to. for example, this country was designed to work with a Higher Being, a God, any God, that gives us rights, so that that power doesn't belong to a man (tyrant). If "God" seized to exist in this country, or at least the IDEA of a God giving rights to man, the country would seize to exist as intended.
9/11 - once you come to that a war was waged on an innocent people by orchestrating & allowing the slaughter of your own people by a group in our govt at the will of an outside foreign interest....... everything and anything becomes possible
You just described what demoralization looks like. He is completely demoralized, and thus a broken human being. You can not fix him. Only he can get out of it, if God wills it. Don't rely on him during a crisis. I mean it. You might be tempted to, but don't. Scamdemic taught me this lesson the hard way.
The only people I rely on are Lord Jesus and the amazing wife he placed in my path.
Good. Me too, frankly.
If he's a vaxxer, he's gone. The kindest thing is to leave him alone. The humane thing is to tell him so he can chose how to deal with it himself. The fair thing is to advocate boosting with the new vaccine.
Spirit and soul are 2 different things. Your spirit sees truth because you’ve been born again. No matter how smart the soul (brain) is, if you don’t see it, you don’t even know you’re not seeing it.
I’m Prayer for your friend.. Praise Jesus! You sowed the seed now let God water it. Just give it to God. Keep praying for the lost ones as the time of the signs is upon us. If atheists don’t believe in a God, the logic is there must be a God because they acknowledge a God not to believe in. Make sense? Keep looking up, we’re almost home!
Narcissists are demon pocessed and truly don't care.
This is why tribunals by the military need to be televised as well as executions for Treason. I REALLY hope there's a EBS with footage created by the military to explain things to people, and keep Trump clear of any mention as the commies will immediately say its him that's driving it. I'm really starting to feel like the election in 2024 is going to be ran by the military at this point.
