re: Do you have a single event that "red pilled" you?

"Assault weapons ban" back in the 90's

9/11 was the big one, granted, I was a child at the time, but I was old enough to see a clear before/after.

The next one was the bailouts following the financial crisis. I saw ordinary people lose their retirements to Bernie Madoff, but wall street bankers get bailed out.

Ron Paul, around the same time, was another big one. I remember him asking a huge crowd “if Crystal meth was legal tomorrow, how many of you would try it?” No hands went up. “You don’t need a law to stop you from doing what you already have no interest in doing, and the law clearly doesn’t stop those who do want to do that thing from doing it.”

I think it was Obama fining organizations/banks in the aftermath of the 2008 bubble crash, that they deemed responsible for the collapse. That $25billion or so in cash was funneled secretly to NGO's that were radical lefty groups. Some of the same groups that are helping destroy America today. At that point, I knew they weren't real Democrats anymore. I went conservative after that.

It wasn't until the Russiagate crap that I realized that the Marxist democrats had entire control of our gov't regardless of who was in power.

When I gave money to Trump to stop the steal
and he repainted his plane with it
like Joel Osteen would do....he was for me

For me it was the Florida Bush/Gore fiasco (yes I am old). When Al Gore's legal team fought like hell to keep military ballots from being counted. It was my first introduction to Brenda Snipes and the Broward County corruption. I was a casual observer of news/politics. This was the first story i followed diligently and investigated extensively.

The Trump presidential campaign.

The media shed any and all veil of "objectivity" and unilaterally worked to do all they could to prevent him from becoming president...all while the political establishment, of BOTH parties, did the same thing. The very first question of the very first Republican debate, hosted and moderated by Fox News, attacked Trump. Since 2015 it has been a full on assault against any and everyone who doesn't fully accept every progressive position. Tolerance of or ambivalence to leftist is simply not accepted and those who do are labeled as "right-wing extremists".

There is literally NOTHING off-limits for leftist and their media propaganda wing in their push for total thought control. Flat out lies, personal attacks, destruction of cities and society are all acceptable measures.

Definitely not a single event unless you count the 4 years of college as a single event.


I was very middle of the road in high school. My parents are registered democrats due to growing up poor in WV in the 60s. My parents voted across party lines all the time though.

When I got to college I was reading a lot more. Took a modern political thought class my sophomore year which started with reading Machiavelli's the Prince, Leviathan, The Social Contract, Two Treatises of Government, and The Communist Manifesto. Luckily the professor who taught the class was very neutral in his teaching. Other students said he was conservative but I didn't see it. He told all of us when we check the news to go to CNN, FOX, CNBC, and Drudge Report then decipher facts from the four of those. I still do this from time to time. Back to the reading it was obvious Locke was the only bright light in this sea of garbage.

The majority of my other professors spouted a lot of liberal bullshite though. It rubbed the rural upbringing inside of me wrong. The worst one I can clearly remember was sitting in a south Asia history course and the professor telling us a vote for Romney is a vote for war with Iran and guess who gets to go *professor points at the class*.

This pointed me in the right direction.

One of the aspects I have always encountered in various meetings is very disturbing in today’s light. There is a French book entitled L’Avenir De La Vie (“The Future of Life”) by Michel Salomon, who is a journalist and doctor back in 1981, he interviewed twenty scientists including seven Nobel Prize winners, and which thus relates his conversation with Jacques Attali, who at the time was the adviser to François Mitterrand. In that interview, it provides a clear warning of how they look down upon us, the great unwashed, which is the blueprint for what they are doing using Covid-19 to change the world economically and politically.
“In the future it will be about finding a way to reduce the population. We will start with the old, because as soon as he is over 60-65 years of age, man lives longer than he produces and costs society dearly. Then the weak and then the useless who do nothing for society because there will be more and more of them, and especially finally the stupid ones.
Euthanasia targeting these groups; euthanasia will have to be an essential instrument of our future societies, in all cases. Of course, we cannot execute people or set up camps. We will get rid of it by making them believe it is for their own good. Too large a population, and for the most part unnecessary, is something economically too expensive.
Socially, it is also much better for the human machine to come to a screeching halt rather than gradually deteriorating. We won’t be able to give intelligence tests to millions and millions of people, you can imagine!
We will find something or cause it, a pandemic that targets certain people, a real economic crisis or not, a virus that will affect the old or the big, it doesn’t matter, the weak will succumb to it, the fearful and the stupid will believe it and ask to be treated.
We will have taken care to have planned the treatment, a treatment that will be the solution. The selection of idiots will thus be done by themselves: they will go to the slaughterhouse on their own. “

If the number of single events listed here haven't just kept on accumulating, nothing will.

my fork in the road was reading Ayn Rand in the early 70's. The amorality of Bill Clinton was the booster.
