@GoblinsAndTea:
Good for granny! My mom thinks the same thing as your brother's dad. That it's a secret weapon created by the elite. Unfortunately trying to prove her wrong is a worthless endeavor. I'd have better luck teaching a brick wall to jump.
By "lost" I don't mean that they've departed this world. I mean like socially. I've lost 1 friend and 3 relatives to government/vaccine conspiracies theories.

My mother is one of them. She's so far down the rabbit hole I don't think she's ever coming out. It's weird; this is the same woman who would do anything to get her kids vaccinated and now she's claiming that we need to detox and cleanse our bodies of the "pharmaceutical poisons". I've been fully vaccinated for covid since June. It was pure chaos when my mother found out. She said I turned myself into a bio-weapon. She's fine with my choice now because she claims I didn't get the real vaccine. The booster is apparently the real one. It's all part of a "bait and switch" plan big pharma has. I don't know what she's means by that though.


Anyway have you lost any friends or relatives to these conspiracies?
Posted in Hope for humanity? Posted 3 years ago
To honest I've been losing the ability to have hope for humanity as a whole over the past 4 years or so. Even more so with the current political drama. In addition I've been having mental stress caused by losing my family to political nonsense and the thought of climate wars. I've seen people on different sites describing a post apocalyptic future which make it seem like an inevitably. I've quit watching the news, that helped actually. However that was just a bandaid solution to my problem; reality still exists. Perhaps I'm just hoping from this thread that someone will give me hope.

My niece's older half siblings once force me to watch The Emoji Movie. It was agonizing and I will never get that hour back.

@squishy sloth: The tag said it was put out by Hallmark. I'm not sure how widely distributed Hallmark is throughout the world.
