    Us: "Biden is going to raise the price of gas. The cost of everything is gonna go up."
    Them: "Why would you say such a thing? He would never do that!!"

    ****The price of gas goes up***​

    Them: "Well, it's been artificially repressed for too long anyway."

    And it's always said with this angry, defiant tone that dares you to even try to reply to their fragile insanity.

    It's frightening.

    Can you imagine being a child these days, looking at the adults around you as examples of your future self, and realizing that you have already hit Peak Maturity??? How absolutely confusing it must be.

    I have never told anyone to not refer to me as "Mister Brunner" because "That's my father's name." We all need boundaries. Kids need boundaries. We are not peers...I am an adult.

    I wish I had something profound to say in reply. I don't. We can't blame people who are essentially followers. Perhaps they're doing their best, just like us.

    Followers I can abide, the aggressively ignorant who decide that dissent is frightening and they'll make sure dissenters get rooted out are a problem.

    If you want to follow, then you don't get to participate. Sorry.
    You cannot be as an unaccountable child yet want to be in charge. The answer is "No."

    My mentioned buddy knows nothing about any Reset, doesn't know if masks work or not (despite me giving numerous examples that they don't), doesn't know anything about the "vaccines," although he got one early on -- mostly being pushed by his wife, I think.

    He's in his own world, running a farm and a machine shop with a few employees, helping out his son and DIL and simply doesn't care about the outside world. I told him last summer that someday "the mob" may come marching down his road (never happen, very rural) and torch his house and buildings just for fun.

    He said something to the effect: "At that point I'll just shoot as many as I can, and if they get me they get me."

    He's a prime example of: “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” — Edmund Burke, January 9, 1795

    It also exposes the point that losing liberty is the easiest thing in the world: You don't have to do a damned thing.

    LOL @ my avatar. I take it you know who it is?

    You're on to something there. Aggressive and ignorant are each bad enough by themselves. They're much worse paired up with each other. Each reinforces the other.

    A portion of the poem "Resist" by Brandy Nālani McDougall:

    They made themselves
    fences and bullets checkpoints
    gates and guardposts martial law

    They made themselves
    hotels and mansions adverse
    possession eminent domain and deeds

    They made themselves
    shine
    through the plunder

    They say we can never— They say
    we will never—because
    because they—

    and the hills and mountains have been
    mined for rock walls the reefs
    pillaged for coral floors

    They say we can never—
    and the deserts and dunes have been
    shoveled and taken for their houses and highways—

    because we can never— because
    the forests have been raided razed
    and scorched and we we the wards

    refugees houseless present-
    absentees recognition refusers exiled
    uncivilized disposable natives

    protester-activist-terrorist-resisters—
    our springs and streams have been
    dammed—so they say we can never return

    let it go accept this
    progress stop living
    in the past—

    but we make ourselves
    strong enough to carry all of our dead
    engrave their names in the clouds

    We gather to sing whole villages awake
    We crouch down to eat rocks like fruit
    to hold the dirt the sand in our hands
