Example Republican friend I've watched her become more radical in her beliefs Thanks to social media She believes shit she used to never believe Some of it is from trying to fit in with her long term live-in boyfriend's dad The dad is nuts and constantly drunk and kinda brainwashed The son is constantly seeking his approval The friend/girlfriend is constantly trying to get his family not to hate her (despite some fuck shit she's done) As time went on They got worse The teenage daughters want to rebel They feel .... A lot... There's several issues But they want to go against their parents In a hormonal rage They turn to the internet and isolate themselves One thinks she's gay Was always bullied and outcast She quit school in 7th grade She found community with adults online Through Roblox too Kinda concerning Some gay man that was over 18 used to call her every night That she met on Roblox -- I had a conversation with him one day She doesn't talk to him anymore But Me and her mom think it's a phase I'm supportive Her mom is fake supportive But she lives her And now her mom went from accepting to hating gay men and interracial couples always screaming the n word She never hated interracial couples If she loves you and you're in one She's fine She still loves you She still helps you But alone She racist ASF And I know it's because of... Certain influences - online and IRL And all of this is driving her daughter further into isolation

What I noticed with my Republican friends If you become hardened in your beliefs So much so that you're trying to force people to think like you do Your kids will absolutely Rebel Gen z and Gen alpha are essentially iPad kids In my generation parents let the TV be the babysitter But the internet was an option With these new generations The internet is the new TV Your kids will usually rebel against you If they don't You didn't raise an individual You raised a robot And when they do They turn to the internet The problem is Republicans don't think they're raising radical leftist extremists But some of them are

Wagner wants to play qanon Ehh

Wagner tries to make musk look like one of them (After some things) Musk does Nazi salute Wagner gets mad at starlink I keep repeating they're reverse engineering things They are Allegedly musk is helping Russia Wagner is ok again Bringing starlink to Kazakhstan is a double edged sword Ukrainians and Russians are mad at musk Kinda funny

Side note: Wagner games fell off a bit I mean Idk They're kinda dumb They love spreading propaganda They're weird and sneaky They're liars They're almost on the verge of inspiring another coup But I wouldn't hold my breath

We don't even talk about the guy that tried to assassinate trump who was allegedly a Ukrainian loving leftist So many cried he's a leftist He's pro Ukrainian These people are sick But he was actively trying to recruit for Ukraine and everyone he brought them was a Russian spy wannabe And no one asked Is this a Russian psyop we didn't think about?

I might have spelled their names wrong Idc

Dougan The cop from Florida that helped the kremlin sway public opinion to help get trump elected the first term and went to Russia as a political refugee is super active again And dugin who was a target of Ukrainians and his daughter was assassinated accidentally in his place is a good talking point for Russia They could argue he was targeted for his beliefs and a potential Martyr of sorts They're both spy assets that were manipulated It is what it is And I've been expecting them to go hard on this issue for a while

When Kirk was shot I thought If I were KGB I could use this It'd be powerful and effective There's so many already cheering on murder I could make my country look like a victim in a problem we created And it would be received Positively Because of recent circumstances Idk if they did for sure But I know what I thought

It also fits bait chatter Falling like leaves in autumn

Russia puts out information on a particular CEO stating he committed suicide from deep depression that started 5 years ago That guy happens to be a target of Ukrainians There's a video of someone finding his body He allegedly shot himself in the head with a pump action shot gun There's no blood Well Thinking like a forensic enthusiast That's impossible And most people find the circumstances weird Some just say the kremlin killed him He doesn't even look dead in all honesty I can't get past the lack of blood Nafo is just cheering it on That aligns with the psyop Charlie Kirk is a part of that With the way people feel right now It's easier to condemn Ukrainians for assassinating people pushing propaganda for the kremlin No one is asking the right questions

Random ASF So there's these kids (in their 20s) And I was thinking Oh you'd actually make good CIA agents with a little more training But they had certain biases After several years Those biases have dissolved And now they're seeking out CIA agents to have on their show It'd be great for a vetting situation and a test after they've accumulated a lot of knowledge But they're still getting duped by deeeeeep state sponsored psyops And the CIA is more compromised rn Kinda sad

There's just certain people you don't want to give up on I guess that's love

It took one friend 20 years to figure out she was a bad friend I tell her I still love her Why Idk But I'm sure it comes from a place of empathy and understanding and hope

We like to stick to things that are familiar

It's definitely difficult being friends with someone you've known for a very long time Who you've influenced and who influences you And all they do is try to one up you Destroy your relationships Flirt with anyone they think you're interested in Even if they're in a relationship Justify their actions Dismiss your trauma and act like theirs is more important Always trying to make you look stupid Always pretending to have superior intellect Total pick me person Narcissistic I have several friends like this I think I stay out of pity and the amount of time we had spent together The bond we used to have

Maybe the secret is allowing people to say what they feel even if you don't like it and condemn it publicly without taking your grievances directly to them (their page/profile/house/whatever) It usually works You can be friends and civil with people who don't think like you while thinking their views are off They gotta figure shit out for themselves If you're close You can explain alternatives without forcing A lot of my IRL friends are Republican They send me shit like Biden is pedo tiltok videos I just ignore it They know I don't agree They're coping with Trump being a pedo They get too much information from online trolls Some of them have real problems and think that if they do something that would upset me they're winning (even beyond politics) I don't hate them for it I understand that they have issues I dismiss it And try to make new memories and have better conversations
