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 know exactly what you are going through. It feels as thoug there is now a disconnect between me and the other people in my life. I feel like I'm the only one who can see that the Emperor is naked and they are all talking about the new clothes he's wearing. There have been several people who take the attitude 'Oh I'm sure that kind of thing goes on but what can we do about it, I just want to focus on my life/happiness etc."
I've gotten pretty upset about that, the fact people don't see to care or think it has anything to do with them. I think all of us here are different, we feel injustice keenly, and we care for people we've nevr met and will never meet. I think we're good eggs, is what I've decided, not that the others are bad, just that they somehow aren't wired the way we are or capable on the same ways, maybe. It is sad though, to see a gulf emerge between you and people whose lifestylesand vieews etc have always previously been more or less in step with your own.

The saddest feeling is being aware of what's going on and knowing this is fundamentally what is destroying the human race and holding us back from progressing as a species and will most likely lead to our destruction, and you could present all the evidence in the world to someone and their response is still "I don't care, I just want to live my life, this doesn't affect me why should I care".
To be honest I'd rather have 2 or 3 close people in my life, for the rest of my life, who share the same views than be surrounded by people who don't care about anything other than their own immediate self gratification and are willfully blind to what's happening to them

I know, I've found that very hard to deal with, and especially that it's almost as though people think it's embarrassing to get passionate and upset about this sort of thing, while it's totally normal to get riled up over a football game or the season finale of your favourite TV show. I know these people are good people and I love them - it kind of dawned on me that this world needs all kinds of different people, and now is the time when those of us who were built this way, how we were built, get to do our thing. It's amazing really the subtle similarities between all the people who are on here wanting to help and know what's going on - I realised I have some things in common with all of you I just do not share with most of the other people in my life, there's something really quite comforting and incredible about it.
