Your story reads like it does my own. It is so sad that people will REFUSE to even remotely investigate something other than the official narrative. I got lambasted by an extended family member for watching alternative channels. I was called all sorts of interesting names like "crazy, paranoid, delusional etc"... They became the types who would literally put on a bubble if they could to go shopping. I don't even mention anything anymore now - it is pointless to, they can continue to believe whatever they want to believe.
My husband and I were ranted at for starting a journey in cryptocurrency. We were told we are lazy and pathetic for believing it would amount to anything.
Even our parenting was criticized because we don't want our kid to go into an indoctrination centre (school system) to be parrot fashion taught stuff she'll probably never use and we don't trust the education system at all.
I was so shocked at how quickly this attack escalated and drove a massive wedge in the family. Divide and conquer is the easiest way to conquer a people and these are old school tactics being employed by the likes of MSM and governments. But how can one actually try to maintain relationships with family and friends after an altercation like this? Do we even really want to?
I’m sorry you’re experiencing the divide in thought. My hope is that love conquers all in the end. I had an AWESOME family before covid and TDS. I’ve been a voluntaryist my whole adult life and my family were okay that I always voted for whoever I voted for. Diverse thoughts and conversations used to be normal and not a big deal. I know something new is at play.
I got one big blowup while visiting family and an intervention was needed to save me from it escalating. It was shocking since I’ve never had opposition from having different ways of thinking. If anything it was embarrassing for the aggressor and for the family. I’m experiencing “friendly bullying” in my family... not fun but at least people keep their emotions in check for the most part.
We live in shaky times. I hope that there is enough love to forgive the mess. Family is everything. Being diverse and quirky used to be a wonderful thing. Press forward in love and truth. Keep the faith and may your family be protected and find unity again.
