Holding views that are not aligned with the false narrative will, for most people, result in the loss of pretty much all of your friends. If you want them back, here's a simple method.
Was just accused by a “friend” of “being ok with killing grandma” because I won’t vax myself or my kids. I was shocked! No reasoning with that kinda thinking.
I would ask them what about the risks of the jab to my kids? If they say that the risks of side effects from the vaccine are low and incredibly rare, I would then ask, how were they certain that my kids would be safe? How would they feel if my kids got myocarditis as a result of the shot? Or if I died as a result of the shot? The shot to protect my grandma, costing me too much more. She is important, but my kids are more important. If she loved my family, the adverse reactions from the shot to protect her, would devastate her.
Paradoxical Interventions – waking people up one person at a time. Here's an idea I have been experimenting with in responding to other people. The full article is published here:
It is important to note that you should not try and beat the enemy because you cannot. You cannot reach them logically or rationally. One idea I have been experimenting with to wake people up one person at a time is to use paradoxical interventions. Some years ago, we used to intervene with families by using this technique. In one sense it is prescribing the symptom. For example, if working with a couple who are fighting all the time you might suggest they do more of the same because surely the fighting is a sign that they love one another, and more fighting will bring them closer together. In fact, you would suggest that they schedule their fights on alternative nights at a particular time, say 7-8 pm and keep notes of the issue raised. Of course, this seems absurd but in fact it makes the fighting conscious and something they now choose to do rather than do it automatically. It brings an awareness to the conflict in a way no rational approach would be able to, and because of this awareness it changes the dynamic of their fighting.
I think the same thing might work with those who are enthralled by mass formation. Let me give you an example. In an opinion piece in the NYT a commentator said that parents who do not vaccinate their young children are not responsible people nor are they good parents. Here’s my ‘paradoxical’ reply.
I totally agree with you! At our elementary school there is a proposal (widely supported) to make unvaxxed children wear yellow (for caution) wrist bracelets to distinguish them from the vaxxed kids. The unvaxxed will watch the classroom over closed circuit television from another room. At recess the unvaxxed must remain segregated and not play with the vaxxed kids and at lunch the unvaxxed kids must eat together outside. We think the school board will pass this proposal and most of the teachers are all for it.
Now maybe one person or some people who support vaccination policies will read this and think, “My god that’s extreme or even crazy.” Now once they have that thought you have broken through their hypnotized state and a possibility exists for them to re-examine their own bat-shit crazy behavior.
Wherever you see pro-vax comments posted denigrating the unvaxxed or the un-boosted take it further and use paradox to first agree with them and then take it a step(s) further. You will be surprised that nothing is too crazy to say. Moreover, try it in conversation with someone who is ranting about the unvaxxed. First, always agree with them and then offer some more extreme measure of dealing with the unvaxxed using their comments as the springboard. See how clever you can be. Please post you interventions here and the results so I can keep track of what is working.
I live in a place where we haven't changed a thing. Every restaurant is open as well as everything else. It is considered rural,but comparable to any major city suburb. I've been told and have known many people who have gotten covid. It can be awful and deadly for some. The most extreme reactions I read about are heavy democratic cities and states. I'm shocked when I read it because it's implausible so many would throw away their critical thinking skills because the government simply claims something without any data. Get yourselves on Ivermectin, vitamin C, D3, Magnesium, zinc, melatonin and you will have done pretty much everything you can to prevent infection. I have seen over ten people, one or two on a vent get healed. I won't touch that vaccine or anything else they say. In fact, if they say it I will do the opposite. The idea that wearing a pair of underwear on your face "slows the spread" is absurd. I can't believe people fall for such BS! No wonder these psychopaths use pathogen names to make fun of the masses. It simply cannot continue. The People will have to stop it
My brother used to call and text weekly. Then we had a normal discussion about why I was not getting vaxxed. I never once was dismissive or disrespectful. His wife got angry with me when they could not address my simple questions. What about VAERS?…What’s VAERS?, You know the vax does not stop transmission, right?, You understand the govt and pharma have a financial incentive to lie? I think they are embarrassed how little they knew. Regardless, I’m losing years with one of the closest friends I ever had. No easy way to dismiss that even if I’m right.
When I saw the title of the article, my first thought was: Why would anyone even want their friends back if they lost them over something so devoid of common sense as to be ridiculous? Are these the friends we would want in our lives? Thankfully, the title did not match the content. If this all ever does end (and it appears to be lasting way longer than 2 weeks to slow the spread), we all will have a reckoning with our prior relationships, the likes of which clearly will depend on how it ends.
Unfortunately, I think this video will be much more amusing to those who are critical thinkers than to those who are not. They have been brainwashed into thinking that they are the critical thinkers, not us, so they see these kinds of gibes as signs of being red-pilled.
I've lost friends and neighbor friends over all of this crap. I've also been right about it all along. To be quite honest, it has been very difficult. I miss the OLD them, not this new hysterical version.
No more than 20% can be saved. The rest have fallen victim to the media brainwashing. What they are thinking are not their own thoughts. The only hope for them is to unplug all electronic media and comms. Maybe they can still come to their senses again.
Family is the most difficult, many of them are making their choices and while it's very hard to say goodbye, they are the ones leaving us.
The friends that I've lost are all highly partisan leftists. My remaining friends vote in various ways, but are accepting of diversity, so it's all good.
I did want to mention that I have actually not lost any friends, we respect each other’s decisions.
I HAVE found that MORE are questioning, and MANY more will not get the booster. That being said this was before they were exposed to the new round of Fear mongering due to the Moronic version…so time and adverse reactions will tell
Turning our brains off would also be a far less painful experience of living life through this hell. Coming to understand that 80-90% of the people you know are absolute sheep and the institutions you used to trust for sound medical advice are actually captured and corrupt, is a tough place to be in. It's a tough realization. So grateful for brave people like you, Steve! Keep up the good work. I pray for your efforts!
I have a friend who hasn't spoken to me in over a year and a half. She's wearing color-coordinated masks with her outfits, flashing her QR code everywhere to access restaurants, bars, museums, etc. (She posts the photos on Facebook).
Yeah, I’m a chef and I had to quit my JOB because I just couldn’t stomach watching these fuckers parade into the restaurant and acting like shit is NORMAL. They are part of the problem.
Anyway look at all the friends you’ve gained! Fuck the sheep.
I feel like I am either new to this town or I have moved to another town. I have in effect said goodbye to my friends of many years. I have now arrived knowing no one as a friend.
I feel the same way. I am in a deep blue large city suburb and it sucks. I want to move. I never dreamed this many Karens were around me lol, three of my neighbors reported restaurants and businesses for Covid violations. 🙄 Idiots. I can’t even stand to be around them.
i'm all for a laughing at it all and especially getting the message out in this way.
unfortunately I don't find this guy to be real good at it. but it's the way to go, for sure. mock the hell out of them... laugh them off their perches...
HAHAH I love JP He kills me. Steve, if you didn't catch it, this collab with Ryan Long is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUsF8FKB25U

People are STILL using that “logic”? Ugh

Haha that’s funny; “nothing is too crazy”!! Great tactic, what a creative and fun way to make your point!
My brother used to call and text weekly. Then we had a normal discussion about why I was not getting vaxxed. I never once was dismissive or disrespectful. His wife got angry with me when they could not address my simple questions.

Sadly, all that ever existed of them was a surface.
100%
No more than 20% can be saved. The rest have fallen victim to the media brainwashing. What they are thinking are not their own thoughts. The only hope for them is to unplug all electronic media and comms. Maybe they can still come to their senses again.

I have an acquaintance who is rushing now to get the third dose. I just told her,
''This disease is easily treatable with the right medication. The problem is they are preventing doctors from offering early treatment.''
Her response was,
''That's wrong! These doctors who say it's treatable are lying!''
I changed the subject. You can't reach people like this.
The friends that I've lost are all highly partisan leftists. My remaining friends vote in various ways, but are accepting of diversity, so it's all good.
Thanks Steve, love JP, we all need a good laugh!
I did want to mention that I have actually not lost any friends, we respect each other’s decisions.

Right. I have seen some people start to question with the booster. I have seen plenty of others who don't.
Turning our brains off would also be a far less painful experience of living life through this hell.

I don't want this friend back. She can ^&%$ off.
Yeah, I’m a chef and I had to quit my JOB because I just couldn’t stomach watching these fuckers parade into the restaurant and acting like shit is NORMAL. They are part of the problem.
Anyway look at all the friends you’ve gained! Fuck the sheep.
You can cook for me anytime, without your mask and unjabbed. 🙂❤️
Same here! Heck I will cook for you...
And I’d do it in a heartbeat!
Yeah, the way I see it...good riddance. We don't need people like this around us.
I feel like I am either new to this town or I have moved to another town. I have in effect said goodbye to my friends of many years. I have now arrived knowing no one as a friend.
I feel the same way. I am in a deep blue large city suburb and it sucks. I want to move. I never dreamed this many Karens were around me lol, three of my neighbors reported restaurants and businesses for Covid violations. 🙄 Idiots. I can’t even stand to be around them.
It's OK. We're all making new friends who are a better match for us.
i'm all for a laughing at it all and especially getting the message out in this way.
unfortunately I don't find this guy to be real good at it. but it's the way to go, for sure. mock the hell out of them... laugh them off their perches...
Yeah, this piece I didn’t find funny either, look up his other pieces like life vest in the pool - that was funny…
The different tones of voice were good illustrations of the techniques. Could feel the brainwashing. Reminded me of TV.
CAN I switch off the scamdemic now?
HAHAH I love JP He kills me. Steve, if you didn't catch it, this collab with Ryan Long is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUsF8FKB25U
Ryan Long is GREAT. I’m assuming you are a We Are Change fan?
Of course. Been following Luke for many years. Watched a lot of Luke & Tim during the whole Occupy Wall street situation.
