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 experienced shaming, ridicule, mockery and many other reactions. I have a sizeable social media following where the majority of them are liberals/Hillary supporters. I was a Hillary supporter and anti-Trump before I had my awakening 2 months ago after accordingly stumbling upon Zeitgeist The Movie on Netflix. It changed everything for me and I began doing rigorous research into this porthole on YouTube about all of the "conspiracies", or truths. Since then I have attempted to red-pill a close friend and my partner and was patronized and discredited. I have tried to post libertarian and bi-partisan media about pg and government, media corruption from alternative media sources but people reject it because they say the source is small and not-trusted. I'm blown away how ignorant and programmed people are by MSM. They refuse to believe that they lie. I'm having a really hard time with this burden of truth. I feel alienated and isolated an the only people I feel like I can connect with is on here. I wish there was a chat room or group I could find to connect with truthers alike.

Let's get a discord channel going . I might look into that tonight when I get home. I agree, this sub is the only place I feel normal, am feeling like an alien most days surrounded by people who I can't even relate to and just see as mindless, completely brainwashed / lobotomised sheep. For what it's worth I'm 100% with you and am your friend
