Just having some thoughts...at least myself, after being awakened, I found myself standing for truth more often than not. I finally understood what our founders fought for. No longer a sheep.
But I've noticed that more and more I'm forced to choose between a relationship with either family, friends or dating, or the truth. I refuse to pretend everything is fine, I refuse to think BLM is a just and righteous movement. I refuse to call Biden a title he never earned. I refuse to pretend the mRNA shots work.
Never felt more alone than before. Yes we have this community, but real life relationships have definitely taken a toll.
Any ideas for how we can solve this?
I believe that this is the reason many of us are here - to be among Frens.
I guess I'm lucky - my wife is probably even more redpilled than I am. One of the few upsides of Covid for me was being totally on the same page as she. I can only imagine what many frens had to go through without that sort of anchor in their life.
That, and one of the benefits of being an older pede is you stop caring about what other people think as you become more comfortable in your own skin. Life's way too short to worry about other people, even the ones you care about. I tell people what I think if they ask. They can take it or leave it and I really don't care either way, although I'm happy to explain my reasoning if they're curious, or point them to places they can research for themselves if they ask. But you can't do their thinking for them and you aren't responsible for how they live their life. (Added) I spent too much of my life worrying about people I cared about who didn't or wouldn't listen when I begged them to take a different path.
Nine times out of ten, the future proves me right. Next time they ask, they take me more seriously.
