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.

Yeah, I've lost friends just over being a "truther" over the years. And recently I've lost a few over Trump who I supported. Many are still in a deep trance. Honestly I don't buy the media failing thing. I think the independent media is trying to speak that into existence. If people are still getting their news from papers and TV then there are millions of infected zombies out there. I know educated people who buy the likes of vox, buzzfeed, john Oliver, and the guardian like it's the gospel truth. They are so far gone that they will never awake even if the great awakening comes...even if they hear it from Jimmy Kimmel, they will always believe in the illusions provided for them. And these are highly educated people.

Someone said to me that if even if 911 conspiracy were true they wouldn't believe it. Top that! :)
