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.
