Hey, you might be in a position where you can afford to call it a show, but some of us aren't and its very terrifying prospect we have to look into. I mean, imagine you were born in ukraine/russia, and, as a man, you are sent to be butchered for some global ''show''. No m8, real lives are being destroyed and its very childish to dismiss that reality by just calling them ''doomers''.
The way i try to measure the ''pulse" of the normies, is usually by making a snarky semi humourous comment about clownworld. like talk about how school sucks and just sneak in ''yeah they also try to cut kids dick's''. I then look at the reaction. So many time the person will agree with me now. Even yesterday a normie of my discord saw the LoL pride event and complained about it. We are gaining ground.
yeah... I'm in that boat to be honest. It was going better in 2018, was playing a lot less video games but that's because I was finally developing a real social circle, fixing up my family. then lockdown smash everything and i'm back in those old habits. My family disowned me for not jabbing myself and 95% of my friends stopped speaking to me. as much as video game is a huge cope, it did gave me people to talk to (discord) for the past 2 years.
I mean your avg millennial / gen-z right-wing lad were probably all lefties at some point in their youth. I never forgot how I got brainwashed and never will.
