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.

Don't do it, it is not worth it.
Redpilling my friends about Trump and the hypergamous nature of women is already pushing it, and I will only do that with the best of my friends who also like the process of discussing things in general.
Again, not worth it. You need your friends for other things. You can't force this truth on people. It takes a lot of truths before.

I'm more just shocked they aren't interested whatsoever, they really don't give a shit and just used it as a way to attack me personally. Why are people like you and I interested in what's happening in the world and pursuit of truth whereas other people aren't and just don't give a fuck? I'm struggling to come to terms with that

It is hard to see the light and this is nothing new. Check out Plato's Allegory of the cave.

But what makes some people more susceptible to wanting to know the truth? I want to know the truth about literally everything, and have always been that way, but why do other people never give a shit? I understand Plato's allegory, but at some point we have to address why in the first place people like us are more susceptible to being red-pilled and wanting to learn compared to others who aren't. Is it a biological thing? Are we smarter? Dumber?
