My wife is like this. We only talk about stuff like this is when it’s happening near where we live or if it came up while she was talking with one of her friends. Also, I had to explain why I started carrying a gun to church.

Jesse Kelly on Timcast was talking about the need to wake up normie republican neighbors. He talked about how great people they were and how mich he enjoyed backyard bbqs with them. Well Jesse, they enjoy those bbqs too. Why the fuck would anyone want to wake up from a dream that they are enjoying?

Jessie understands the enemy well enough and seems willing to fight, he just has no clue about how to find friends or how to fight. Many such cases. All in all, i wish that i noticed less.

It’s not really up to the grillers to wake up. The elites like Jesse are the ones with the wherewithal to make the changes we want. All the grillers have to do is fall in line behind their leaders.

So important to have a community to keep you in the real world. Church is a good place.

"Witnessing people living their lives and being happy should motivate anyone who does feel the impulse to fight back against this insane culture."

YES - We need to build the infrastructure to protect these people so we can tell them "You don't have to worry about. We'll take care of it."

I go back and forth on this. Dylan Mulvaney has put things in my living room that would otherwise never have my kids' eyes on it. My MIL had local news on when we were at her house in Houston while she made breakfast. That creep is right in front of my kids. When we went to the grocery store back in Utah yesterday, a big trans dude in long pig tails was the only person on the floor to help me locate wheat bran. People who are oblivious and live in little smaller and smaller circles are being invaded by fucking insanity whether they like it or not or try to ignore it. I hear morons constantly tell me that it doesn't affect their lives, their kids are in public school "but it's not an issue" where they live. Truth be told, they just don't want to know their kids are being brainwashed daily with this shit. And they are. I don't take hope from ostriches burying their heads in the sand about what's coming to kick their asses. I watched the guy ask his 11 year old daughter about it in front of me. She knew exactly what all this stuff was and she honestly had a look like she didn't want her parents to know she knew. What does that tell you about all this???

Maybe I'm just irritated because we homeschool and still can't fucking avoid it. It's fucking everywhere we go. I wish Kelli's family were the rule, but I'm afraid they may be the exception.

You can't shelter your kids from the world. This is the biggest mistake that homeschoolers make. When I was a kid the homeschoolers I knew were mostly sheltered religious fundamentalists, and they were completely unprepared for the world because of it. Most of them did not do well in real life.

You can't protect them forever. They are going to hear degeneracy and propaganda from other kids, other parents, and whatever media you give them access to. They're going to have to deal with it when they become adults.

The advantage you have, and it's a huge one, is that you can give them the whole truth and how to find it, and encourage skepticism and critical thinking. They're not faced with 9 hours a day, 5 days a week of brainwashing plus 4 more every day and 12 on the weekends of propaganda with no pushback or context. They're not being taught that you're stupid and/or evil, and to fear, hate and pity you by the blue-haired freakshows posing as educators.

This is the power you have if you homeschool, and the only one you have, but it's everything: your kids know you, trust you, and want to hear what you have to say, because you've had all that time to demonstrate that you know a thing or two and can help them learn.

Remember your job is to raise your kids to be like you, and you're not a naive, fragile little flower either.

Everyone I know who is an adult now and was homeschooled, even back in the 90s when it was "weird," are successful and living good lives. This isn't my experience at all but I've always sought to surround myself with good people.

Sure, it could just be where I happened to be.

Also, not all homeschoolers were sheltered religious fanatics when you were growing up. That's just the impression you were given to make something good and wholesome appear to be ignorant and totalitarian. It still happens today. This is part of the brainwashing. A parent wants, even wishes to protect their child from perverts and the parent is seen as a control freak.

I was only speaking personally. I was homeschooled for part of my life and the other homeschoolers I knew *really* were fundamentalists, haha. Decades later it is a bit different.

Most of the people homeschooling that I know *now* are more libertarian-leaning/anti-government/anti-schooling and less concerned with strict religious upbringing. But most of my kids' friends are not their kids, they're public schooled, and I don't go out of my way to shelter him from reality or to steer him away from them. I just tell him the truth about it.

It would be nice if this wasn't the case, but we are living in a warzone, and you can't send a child out into one of those unprepared or hide him in the basement hoping it'll pass.

I understand. I just think the world is getting dumber, more vulgar and obviously more depraved and it's unavoidable for most people, contrary to Pete's suggestion that there are people outside this trans agenda who are untouched by it. Unfortunately, that doesn't include children. They are the prime targets and there is no avoiding it. My point is I wish for my children's sake there was because as a child, I didn't have to deal with men with autogynophelia openly, brazenly getting their jollies off me as a child seeing them in women's clothing. But that's a thing now. It's kind of like flashers. We had those when I was a kid but they were rare because it was illegal and came with a harsh penalty. Now, men can parade their sexual fetishes for children and it's applauded and the parent is the bad guy for saying that it's sick and wrong. Or telling my kids they can breathe the air makes them feel like criminals, even though we reassured them it was right to breathe, because 100% of society except us was wearing masks. The child of today blurts out that the emperor is wearing ladies underpants and two things happen: 1. it is assumed the parents are sheltering him from reality because they are religious control freaks 2. child is encouraged to get re-educated by the state. Maybe you saw yourself doing one of those in your response to me.

I think I poorly communicated my intent. See my other comment. My main point is we cannot entirely prevent our kids from seeing these horrible things, we can only pace it out, avoid the worst of it, and prepare them for reality as it is.

Mine is close to adulthood now, so we're giving him more of the gory truth to counter the increasing amount of propaganda targeted at him, and also working more on teaching him to navigate real life under these conditions (though not without a few mishaps).

What I saw with aforementioned homeschooled religious kids is that they were just completely unaware of actually-existing reality, and after a couple years of dealing with it most of them went completely off the rails.

I think I'd take a hundred morons in masks over one big dude in pigtails around my kids but they aren't, unfortunately, mutually exclusive. I wish normalcy was more exclusive.
