Tbh, I’ve largely stopped putting much weight into the words of people who have been taken in by the “back to normal” . They get a big ol’ sticker in my head and their opinions just don’t carry much weight. I still love them and would like to help them, but I’m not gonna be able to butt heads with them into accepting reality. The way our behavior is determined typically happens at a level much broader than one on one interactions and so I try to spend my time thinking on how to fight the consent manufacturing machine. Mostly, I just avoid certain topics and focus on trying to be a good role model, and someone that can be there for them when shit gets so bad that they need help. Honestly, I get far more stressed worrying about the consequences of their ignorance than what they think of me.🤷‍♂️
