Very well said. I feel this way about so many family and friends. I’m not sure I can look at them the same way again. Trust and respect has been broken. So many examples and instances of being let down. The biggest thing that angers me- that they just want to pretend it never happened.

Your Kirsch comment brought me here. Actually LOL! I'll NEVER see these people the same again. Not out of vengeance and bitterness – although we have the right! – but because they demonstrated who/what they are. 'We' know we're also flawed humans, BUT we saw through it and tried to do/say something.

I follow several jab-injury accounts (from several countries) on Fascistgram, and ONE stood out after a year: a badly injured woman admitted outright (!) that she was 'the Karen' (her word!) who yelled at us in supermarkets and parks; who virtue-signalled her jabs; and who made her husband and kids (!) jab. I had to give it to her for self-awareness.

The overwhelming majority of the injured recount their injuries and post-injury stories with no greater awareness. They mostly explain that they took jabs somewhat unwillingly (for their jobs/travel/kids' activities), but the psychology is foggy. Did they also scream at 'us' in public? Or were they just the ordinary 'mass psychotic' who quietly went along, hoping that their governments weren't trying to kill them? Anyway, I digress. Great post!

Love, love, love your passionate commentary! I couldn’t have said it better! Outta the ballpark!

I can’t tell you how amazed I am how well you captured my feelings. My own mother and brother blackballed me, my wife, and kids because we refused to mask, hide, jab or follow ANY of it! My mother canceled our (always after Jan) family Christmas when she found out I went to DC for Trump’s Jan 6 rally.

I begged them to see the facts and for them to come out of hiding. They said I was the only one in the family going against the narrative so I MUST be wrong.

My mom turned her whole family against us and when the family had it’s first big Thanksgiving gathering post covid (the usual highlight of our year) my family wasn’t invited or even told why. My mom and brother still went without me!!

Now my brother says he wants to try to work back to normal.

How can I ever forgive these people for what they did? They showed who they really are.

I wish I knew.

So many people I would like to send this to! Sadly, some of them them in my own family. They've made it very clear, though, that we will no longer be talking to each other if I do. So sad...

I am appalled at the horrible tragedy and evil of it all.

All I can say is thank you for putting it into words so well. The rage I still feel at friends who betrayed me, our children’s lives and futures, and body sovereignty itself still feels overwhelming some days. Friends who were ok with passports, apartheid, with my losing my career for saying no, and with forced masks and jabs for everyone—who have now largely moved on to posting foodie shots or summer travel photos pretending they did not reveal themselves to be monsters. I think it’s mostly grief now, but I too have found myself having imaginary conversations like this with them. I just don’t think I will ever forgive them or see them in a favorable light again. Maybe it’s because I don’t think they care about the wreckage they have caused, and will never ask for forgiveness anyway. We need that ask, and know we won’t get it. We also fear (know) that many of them would do it all over again.

This is brilliant. It pretty much sums up everything I have wanted to say to just about everyone I know. Never have so many people managed to disappoint me so badly. I will never, ever understand what the hell happened to them all.

Not only Spot On, but very, well written! I've written several articles myself on explaining why you can't reach a "normie". One MUST understand how the mind works.

Dear Elephant. I am writing to ask a big favor. Would you please write something (along the lines of your excellent Imagine that...where you explained how it looks to most people versus us?) about

how we feel now? Frankly, if one is on Substack, the evidence is coming in fast and furious now...4 Sigma events in non covid excess deaths in the US. Live births/Fertility rates dropping in Canada and europe about 15%...excess non covid deaths now running about 20%. Died suddently...heart issues through the roof. Young atheletes dying. And this morning, el gato malo talks about Australia, where babies that are born to jabbed mothers do not have any defense against covid? Jabbing children approved now...MNRA platform for any jab approved in US...

I am overwhelmed . I know I have to let people who follow the tv go..like my sister here visitng jabbed and boosted, tv on non stop, has meds for thyroid, heart, kidney, and eyes...but I am surrounded. I am in a nightmare and I cannot wake up.

Could you write something for us again now? How do we go on, if all of what we learn is true? My cleaning lady just came down with Covid. Most people I know are on round 2 or three..all jabbed. How do we function in this new zombie world? the Walking Dead, indeed. But we cannot shoot them, we cannot turn them back to human beings, but we must go on??? How do we do this?
