I know it sounds ridiculous, but in the past few weeks I've had to cull certain people from my life. Some friends who I've had for many many years.
I never talk about PG around people who aren't already aware of it, I'm not some lunatic raving psychotic conspiracist either. This is the first proper "conspiracy theory" (i fucking hate that term) I've been so involved with. 2 weeks ago I gently tried to red-pill my closest group of friends, I tried to suggest and give reasons why they shouldn't really trust mainstream media, that everything in the world is ultimately bought and paid for and that there are certain people who run the world, because they have the money and means. Their response to this was "no that's bullshit, big corporations run the world yes, but not people." I wish I was joking.
I then segwayed into PG and presented them with intro evidence and a shit tonne of info, basically just asking "hey, don't you guys find this pretty fucking weird? Look at this instagram account, look at the art on this politician's walls" etc. then tied it all in. Anyone with a brain or any interest in the world, i would've thought, would be compelled by what I'd said or at least interested, in the same way I was when I found PG.
My friends completely wrote me off and abused me, gaslighted me and called me a fucking tin-foil idiot while ignoring every point I painstakingly thought out. They argued every single point with "no i don't think that's right, look here, look what the Washington Post said, it's debunked" while ignoring blatant links and evidence I showed them. These guys are all educated, smart people with good jobs and girlfriends etc.
I've had to cull this group of friends because our world views are irreconcilable and they've blatantly demonstrated they have zero respect for me or desire to look past themselves. It shows I fundamentally have nothing in common with these people.
Does anyone else know what I mean? Are you guys experiencing the same stuff? Have you managed to red-pill people? If so, how? I feel like I'm living in the twilight zone and slowly going insane, like I'm on the fucking Truman Show or something.

I have also found that it really isn't worth it. This time last year, there's no way in hell you could have told me that I was going to be supporting President Trump today. We all need to figure it out on our own. I am having a strained relationship with my brother/roommate currently because he, a very avid SJW and lover of everyone, is slowly redpilling but the cognitive dissonance that comes with it is making him very edgy. He will ask me a question and will argue with my answer. At this point I just answer his question and don't discuss it further. We will never have traction if we can't show people the truth. What are we going to do? What is our plan?

"there's no way in hell you could have told me that I was going to be supporting President Trump today." so true, thank you Pizzagate.

I'm not at all going to deny that we are up against a formidable machine. This machine has shaped my views and morals for my ENTIRE life. The last 6 months have basically been dedicated to restructuring my belief system. it just so happens that that restructuring showed me that President Trump is doing no worse than any other president ever has.
