Don't forget this, anons... WE are the new counter-culture.
I meet occasionally with some older hippies to play music at a local venue. I am the sole conservative in the group and they know it. All of them are bound to the old 70s style leftist politics. I am on board the Q train, although I keep that to myself, but still they know me as a conservative. In their eyes, I'm a "reactionary" and part of the establishment... language of the last century. They can't help it, they're stuck in the last century.
The first time we met after all the stupid covid shutdowns, one of them jokingly said to me, "Hey there, you old reactionary, how have you been doing?"
I was very tempted to say, "Well, I'm unvaccinated so I'm feeling GREAT!" But I didn't. I just said, "We 'reactionaries' are the new counter-culture."
That gave him pause...but we both laughed over it. If he weren't the best blues player around, and if the others weren't so musically talented, I'd look for other people to play with, but it is what it is.
Oh I plant those seeds, alright. I was the only one in the group who refused to get jabbed and boosted, and at first they hated me for it. Now they seem to be understanding that I was right and they were... well, they won't admit being WRONG, but they certainly are questioning their decisions made back then.
I don't know WHAT my associates call me behind my back, but they never say it to my face. In addition to being a conservative, they know I'm capable of defending myself, both verbally and physically.

God save the Queen
maybe you are with them for a reason? maybe you will be the one that wakes them up?
i know it sucks to have to keep your mouth shut, but little seeds here and there are very, very powerful.
