Does anyone else feel really scared to voice your opinion on what’s going on in the current world. I feel like if you don’t agree with the masses , then you will be ridiculed , and protrayed as racist , bigot , sexist , etc. ?

PreEntertain · 2020-06-06T07:08:59+00:00

Tune out. Politics and religion are better off not discussed. Wish I could follow my own advice.

You shouldn’t be afraid to speak your mind.

I constantly drop RedPills (both political and TRP) to friends and family IDGAF.

The key is to be smart:

Water it down (give them an open ended version that caters to their current beliefs)
Play dumb: Pretend you believe in what they believe but you have questions, then ask questions that leads them to the truth. Say “that makes sense, that’s what a lot of [your true political view]’s are saying too.” Socratic Method these MFrs.
Agree and Amplify: Agree to their view and then make it extreme. They don’t agree? Tell them they don’t belong to the cause and that’s what everyone else who believes the same, is doing. Unless you’re hanging with batshit crazy people, they should get uncomfortable when exposed to radical ideas.
Know when to quit: you can’t open everyone’s eyes and you can’t do it immediately if you can. When I see the person getting stressed, I know they’ve reached their limit of RedPills for the day.

This is all “48 Laws of Power” and Machiavelli “The Prince” stuff.

But the best solution is to find like-minded people. Being mentally isolated is a quick way to fall into depression and lose frame.

Ever since Trump went into office, it's best to leave things alone. Things have been really heated since he has stepped in. Anything positive you say can be taken the wrong way and/or negative can be used against you and there are no winning sides. It's best just to leave it alone and tune it out. I don't condone racism or looting. I think if you do those type of things, you're a disgrace. I support Black Lives Matter and everyone should be held equal. We've seen police brutality time and time again and that part really needs to change.

They had a "peaceful protest" around my area and they were chanting stuff about Trump like he is the reason George Floyd got killed. Trump has nothing to do with the police. You have one idiot saying one thing and a group of other idiots follow

spedoid · 2020-06-06T05:49:39+00:00

Think of it this way. If you're in a place with dumbass liberals, arguing with them isn't gonna do shit besides make them hate you. That doesn't benefit you at all. I know it sucks, but just stay quiet. You can talk politics with people you trust like friends if you want. But not in mixed company.

Same thing with conservatives. If you visit a redneck area you don't benefit at all from disagreeing with them. I just stay in my poker face because I hate both parties. I hate when some jabroni starts telling me their political ideas. It's not like they're going to listen you yours anyway.

Talking politics in mixed company is a sign of weakness. It's virtue signaling either way. Just ignore and talk business

muricanwerewolf1 · 2020-06-06T06:23:33+00:00

Yes. But people have, in this madness, reached out to me to tell me they value my point of view, that they think these people are all insane, that I at the least make them laugh at the absurdity of it all. And it is fucking absurd. We are witnessing people having a moral panic in DIRECT OPPOSITION to the moral panic they were having literally two weeks ago. They are justifying being out in large groups, resisting the state, all things they called others murderers and losers for even criticizing those who would keep you from going anywhere other than the grocer weeks prior. The only common theme is you should feel bad for living your life, for being you, for having independent thought. Fuck that. I'll never shut the fuck up.

The way I've managed the risk and energy required is this. I'm not interested in arguing with anybody on facebook, I'm not on facebook. All of my opinions are voiced via IG story. If someone wants to argue, they're forced to do it with no ability to call their friends to dogpile me. If you want to cancel me, best of luck. Unless you already know my name it's not on my social media, and I never discuss my corporate job. I'm not worried about burning bridges. If you are the person who reacts to the world with cult-like groupthink, I'm not interested in your friendship anyway.

gbnz87 · 2020-06-06T11:31:40+00:00

I dont know one person who doesnt get emotional when you start talking politics. Sure I have a few friends who are usually on the same page but its surprising how they even start getting defensive, try use your words against you or just fling shit when they dont agree.

There really arent many people you can have a level headed discussion with these days. Politics is the new religion and no one is open minded to talk about anything without shit flinging.

TakerEugene · 2020-06-06T05:14:46+00:00

Well said brother , leaving it alone and not getting involved is best , I agree with your points ,

laserdicks · 2020-06-06T08:23:53+00:00

Everyone here is right, saying it's in your (direct) best interest not to say anything.

But I personally will push that boundary as far as I think I can without getting labelled. People need to hear the opposing viewpoint to their own because they're idiots, and don't even consider it important to think about whether what they heard is true or not.

The media won't provide it, and we're very quickly devolving back to tribe vs tribe, because you can control and sell more to people that way. I get that majority of them deserve it, but that doesn't stop the rest of us having to pay triple for goods that happen to overlap with the mentally retarded crowd (electronics is a big one).

I think the silent majority are starting to figure out that they don't want to be the one fired for disagreeing with the current flavor of left-wing fascism, and I think the majority are placing too much trust in those that are left with enough ignorance to take the hit.

You'll know we're at the very final crossroads when voting or voting privacy is lost.

Velebit · 2020-06-06T07:46:10+00:00

Thats right goy. Stay quiet and leave it to us... it's in your best interest.

You Anglos are pathetic tbh. I have experience in the Balkanizations of Balkans. Let me tell you something. You can't reverse things. You can't make things like in 90's because they led up to this, you can't reverse things to 60's because they led up to 90's, everything that happened in the 60's already was set up decades before.

Same happened in Balkans. There is no political move or a political solution to the problem you have. In 20 to 30 years Texas demographics W I L L go blue with people from Mexico and California and Illionis coming there and voting dem. Once Texas becomes a blue state. It is DONE. You can say it's already done since Trump can't reverse fertility collapse, gender relations collapse, tranny story time, racial tensions or demographic shift towards Brazilification.

You have to make up you own mind right now.

1.) Be ready for a literal war and fighting in it

2.) Flee right now to Visegrad countries and convince like minded people to go with you.

There is no middle ground. Conservative highly productive people (tend to be white and asian) will flee anyway, just look at California, Chicago, South Africa, London and what happened in last 20 years.

YOU WILL SEE A WAR IN YOUR STREETS IN YOUR LIFE TIME. Will you do something now while you are young and able or fight when you are 40 or 50 with a family, house and business that can be destroyed or left fatherless... when do you want to make your move?

There is not going to be a great unifier. EVER. A large mass of my own people that moved out to USA and Germany decades ago are returning because they don't want to raise their kids in a country they see going to shit.

If you choose to stay network like crazy and convince people to get redpilled. Personally share and lead people to knowledge.

If you don't have a stomach for it, then flee to one of countries like this while they are still taking White Christians https://youtu.be/HP_6oB1Sxkw

Because if you wait until shit hits the fan you might find the door closed.

E46M54 · 2020-06-06T10:40:12+00:00

Floyd wasn't killed for being black. He was killed by incompetent police officers. Even Amazon is using a BLM banner, and accusing all their customers of being racist. This whole thing had done nothing but illustrate how stupid most of our population is.

Ghostcel2020 · 2020-06-06T12:21:47+00:00

I'm an ethnic male. So I can get away with saying unpopular opinion to a certain extent. Whereas if I was a white male, yes I'll be called a racist bigot sexist etc.

I guess that's my colored man privilege. :)

asskisser · 2020-06-06T12:44:39+00:00

We ‘ve gone beyond the slippery slope. Denying racism is racism now. This can turn dystopian pretty fast.

At the same time, people offline are not how the online has portrayed them. There is still sanity out there.

Freedom__Fighter · 2020-06-06T13:04:06+00:00

I deactivated FB, tuning out. Not worth getting cancelled and loosing my livelihood because I think looting and burning down innocent people's property is shitty and wrong.

JyoungPNG · 2020-06-06T13:35:13+00:00

Only ever discuss with those who can actually suspend their judgement and exercise rational thought. Bring politics to the level of philosophy and never voice any opinion on social media.

319Skew · 2020-06-06T14:16:37+00:00

Not scared but I definitely know that having any honest conversation with most people will result in being either ignored or stracized.

So it's mostly pointless.

For example : My opinion is that, while horrible, a black man being killed by the police is not a common occurrence and other factors than racism are at play. Cops deal with criminal elements and they tend to be based more on economic means than racial. People who are poor tend to be of racial minorities so they tend to skew the perspective of the police.

If you're always dealing with drunk/angry/high black men twice your bodyweight, you'll likely develop some innate prejudices and apprehension act on them either subconsciously or not.

So a cop is more likely to act a specific way depending on those variables. That said murder was not OK and I'm glad that the officer in question was arrested and charged for manslaughter but I don't believe that yelling at people to just stop being racist, enforce laws that segregate or benefit people based on race or draw more attention to what makes us different (adversity, skin, culture, etc.) is helpful.

This is coming from a black man btw and I have dealt with racism from being the only black kid growing up and getting bullied for it, being racially profiled by a cop and dealing with women looking for a BBC and using that to get me to fuck them.

D0ctorwh010 · 2020-06-06T14:21:38+00:00

People literally believe getting rid of the police would improve society. Good luck handling your own shit with no one to call for help.

Longgbottom · 2020-06-06T08:19:53+00:00

The time has come where if you fail to be politically correct, you shall be declared heretic and guillotined. Your freedom of speech shall on be acknowledged only if you speak politically correct language. Welcome to world of hypocritical liberals my man.

HumptyDumptyFellHard · 2020-06-06T05:09:58+00:00

I personally am not scared to voice my opinion but I’ve been told by a couple of my friends that they are. People have even gone to the extend of unfollowing on social media for my opinions. Guess what I don’t give a fuck. That just shows they are close minded and don’t want to hear what other have to say.

One shouldn’t be scared to voice their opinion. If you are not expressing how you actually feel, you already lost frame. One characteristic of being a man is to be able to confidently speak up. If you are scared of what other people opinions of you, you already lost and need to work on yourself.

That being said if you have something to say that is inherently bad; yes don’t say it, but if it’s just a valid opinion, say it.

For those saying - ignore politics, live your own life.

I have always agreed. In a normal open democracy where most of us have lived our whole lives, it's more advantageous to ignore politics and focus on yourself.

But if one is in an authoritarian dictatorship like the soviet union this no longer works. You have to keep up with Politics not just because you can be sent to the gulag if you say the wrong things, but also because the "wrong thing" changes every day and you have to know what it is so you don't say it.

And while we are not near that yet in the west, I think we are moving towards that direction. You won't be sent to the gulag, but you can get assaulted or lose your job and all future jobs just by saying something that was never considered bad before like that all lives matter. There is a big cost to not knowing that the rules recently changed on that. Similarly, if you ignored the news for the last few days, You could leave your house wearing your saints Brees jersey and pay a hell of a.price.

So unfortunately the- don't focus on politics advice might no longer work.

Lightways434 · 2020-06-06T12:59:10+00:00

The fall of Western Civilization is here and it’s been a long time coming. The time where you can voice unpopular opinions without the fear of being ostracized and condemned by the herd is gone. This ideological warfare being perpetrated by radical leftists, who are hellbent on imposing draconian policies, that hinder freedom cannot be stopped. Tribal warfare has overtook our everyday life as Americans - the recent events with George Floyd is indicative of our untimely fate as a free nation. To quote Nietzsche “god is dead” and we killed him. Morality and traditional values that have been the pillars of western society have vanished - instead rampant hedonism, virtue signaling, intolerance, and identity politics have taken its place. Any defiance to the orthodoxy will have you deemed a charlatan or heretic to the herd. There is no place for diversity of thought, especially in Academia where these ideologues are being churned out at a rate we’ve never seen before. A solution to this is a catch-22 in it of itself. If you speak up you’re the enemy, if you don’t you’re the enemy. My advice? enjoy the fall.

Thank god Generation Z is libertarian. We MOSTLY don't have this problem, because whether conservative or liberal, we all agree our liberties come first.

That's the grift. To end conversations that do not promote the intersectional communist agenda.

TDCRedPill · 2020-06-06T05:07:42+00:00

Of course. That's the point. The culture war is stepping up because Trump can actually win against the establishment. Disenfranchising those that would defend against the lies is a crucial part of the plan.

Stay strong. You're to push back against the gas lighting.

Zero-Milk · 2020-06-06T08:19:34+00:00

No.

You should learn when to bite your tongue not out of fear, but for simplicity's sake. It's better to believe what you believe, and to discuss it with people who are at the very least receptive to those beliefs, than to waste your time arguing with people who are too blinded by passion to understand your viewpoint.

That said, people are very touchy, and what you say can cost you your job and livelihood nowadays. All the more reason to be aware (not fearful) of your audience before you speak to controversy.

Roto2esdios · 2020-06-06T08:41:02+00:00

I understand you, everyone is very opinionated right now. For me, the best strategy is: follow the flow. Even if you have a strong opinion, what is the good of telling everybody you are against X?

Before doing any claim I always ask myself: Does THIS support the life I'm trying to create?

I have been voicing my opinion for the past few days and realize now it is not a good idea after driving many people away. Just don't engage in it, you don't have to agree but it seems nowadays less and less people are able to have a civil discussion with someone who doesn't agree with them. I would say do it if you don't care about the people you are talking to or they are people who are truly open minded.

liberty1127 · 2020-06-06T09:52:28+00:00

No, what are they gonna do? Beat me up? Just learn to manipulate people. Play a little to their side when you're with them. Don't be disingenuous but don't go play in the mud.

Luvmojo2 · 2020-06-06T10:05:46+00:00

You have to stop giving a fuck how you are percieved by idiot masses and start sticking up for what you believe in. If your beliefs are worth fighting for and come from a place of logic and knowledge then why the fuck are you worried. Stop being an absolute pussy, no one cares if the twitter crowd doesnt like you. People like yourself being scared is the reason the vocal minority are winning.

loliamsobroke · 2020-06-06T10:20:29+00:00

100%. Leftists come for your throat because you don’t share their values, it’s better to enjoy circus and be a part of it.

KilluminatiGotti2 · 2020-06-06T10:11:52+00:00

The biggest issue of our generation is one that literally nobody will talk about, but is easily proven and even admitted by the UN themselves. Trump won’t mention it, Bernie doesn’t mention it, CNN and Fox don’t mention it, but the giant elephant in the room is white ethnocide. The replacement of whites in Europe and Canada as well as parts of the United States by hoards of 3rd world migrants from India, China, the Philippines, and the Middle East.

It’s being done in the name of driving down the cost of labour under the guise of “equality” and “diversity is good for the economy”. When in fact we know that mass immigration is killing the west.

The west is committing suicide and even trump is not brazen enough to bring it up. This mass immigration is a huge source of the racial turmoil we have been seeing the past 5 or 10 years.

VojvodaSrpski · 2020-06-06T07:38:42+00:00

No, I don’t hang around leftist people, I’m surrounded by conservatives or genuinely neutral people everywhere, at home, at work, with my friends.

I have gotten in quite a few arguments in bars over the last few years, but I don’t give a fuck what people think.
