I should add that another reason people are reluctant to pull people up is a fear of being impolite, coming across as harsh and possibly halting a fruitful conversation.
Whilst that may present challenges to some of the less assertive/confident, I do believe there is a way it can be done with tact and sensitivity.
I always refer to it as the ‘plan-demic’ or ‘covid scam.’ We further perpetuate their social conditioning of society if we agree to use their gaslighting phrases.
Yeah, I won’t say pandemic. Just “during Covid” normally. I’d say shitshow if I could get away with it at work but I have said “the nonsense”. People tend to steer clear of talking politics with me.
Exactly. I know there are terrible things being done in both Ukraine and Russia but let’s at least attempt to tell the full story and if we don’t feel we know it then admit that.
Absolutely! I have real issues with folks who do this. It’s like fingernails down a blackboard when I see and hear it. I turn tv programmes off the minute someone says ‘during the pandemic’ with a mournful face. I mainly watch things produced pre 2020 now.
Excellent, I agree with every word. My stance on the fake pandemic, lockdowns, masks, vaxx mandates and so on meant that I lost all my longterm friends. I am the only one in my extended family not to submit to the mRNA. I have been true to myself and so thankful that I made the right choice.
Late to reading this but have now printed it off as my go-to reference and given me even more resolve to challenge people.
In no way am I a shrinking violet but I have tried speaking to friends (family now “awake”) and been accused of many things eg you’re not a doctor, oh! you can’t believe anything on social media, despite telling them there are also legitimate sources including specialists/consultants on Twitter etc who can’t get their views across anywhere else.
I don’t even “mention the war”, there’s only one evil person in this of course. People’s lack of knowledge of history is very frustrating.
Mention NATO, WHO and the WEF and their eyes glaze over.
Sadly my friends are watchers/readers of mainstream media and there’s little hope but I’ll still keep gently trying to warn them as I love them and I’ve already lost two of them to the “vaccine”...maybe I’ll also show them a copy of “stop the spread”...
I’m finding it harder and harder not to say “I told you so” as the truth continues to slowly trickle out, into the printed media at least.
Thanks for this, Julie. I frequently ‘have to’ take the easy option and let others spout the repetitious nonsense due to my work. It’s unlike me to remain quiet in meetings, etc, and I think that people notice when I don’t contribute at those points. My role is of assistance to those who are experiencing the fallout of these manufactured problems. I know that they are manufactured. Intentionally, but with some added, possibly unplanned, additional consequences. I retain compassion for those suffering the consequences. I need to be that bit braver with my silence. I don’t know if others in my working environment (which tends to lean towards ‘woke’) also understand but feel unable to speak more truthfully. My courage to do so lends as much to another, and that can build so that the real truth can be more widely understood. I needed this reminder ❤️

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Exactly this!

The theft of peoples money, the never existed and was at best a flu and a proxy media war in Ukraine.

The truth is a flexible commodity now. Bought and sold to highest bidder.

Even people who used to use ‘scamdemic’ or ‘plandemic’ revert sometimes because they have unconsciously accepted it as part of life.

It’s exhausting...
I write these things as reminders to myself too. I’m not sure any of us are the self we want to be 24/7.
We can all do better can’t we? And I think it’s possible to do so in a tactful way too.

Exactly. Weed early, weed often, ultimately weed less.
