Like most of us here, I have family and friends who are brainwashed and who will not wake up, and some who go so far as to ridicule my "conspiracy crap" .
It's the family that hurts. I have finally given myself permission to let go of the responsibility to save them by awakening them, and leaving that in God's hands. As a human and family member, I feel a little guilt, but I feel more empowered by the freedom to focus my time and energy on finding and bonding with like-minded people rather than wasting it on hopeless cases "because they're family" .
If my family comes to me and asks for help, of course I will help them. But I will not jeopardize my ability to protect and care for those who need me to seek that one lost sheep... that's Jesus' role, and if he works through me then so be it.
I will pray for them.
But I give myself permission to let go of the responsibility, guilt and related stress. And I encourage you to consider that if you have not done so. It's unique for each of us. Just know that it is okay.
I've only been moderately successful at red pilling my family... my wife and my nephew, and even my wife, as hopeful as she is, keeps saying "I'll believe it when I see it." I understand that.
As to the rest of my extended family, yeah, they are so anti-conspiracy-theory that they have become unapproachable. So all I can do now at this point is to just wait until it gets worse, take care of my own household, and be ready to explain to them what is happening and why.
On a different note, my wife and I are fitness centered. We hit the gym 5 days a week, eat right, don't smoke, I don't drink alcohol and my wife only has an occasional glass of wine, we watch our salt and sugar intake, and have boosted our natural immune systems with vitamins and supplements. Mainly we keep our weight in check. Considering our ages, we are exceptionally fit compared to our contemporaries.
But at a family dinner recently I looked around the table and I realized that a lot of support in coming days will be unnecessary, as the obesity and poor health of my family means I will probably outlive every single one of them... and I am the oldest sibling.
In life we make choices. Some make the choice to do nothing, eat junk to fill some need in their emotional makeup, and don't have the discipline to do anything about it.
