That they take us for fools will be their downfall.

I'm getting to the stage where if I don't understand a thing then I don't believe it.

Maybe still an open mind but not as gulled hopefully.

There's also a matter of the degree of understanding.

It's always surreal when a friend spouts out all the pushed explanation for Bird flu or the spike protein etc.

Learning something doesn't make it true, but it gives the person the appearance of being learned.

Just doubting something doesn't have the clout of someone reeling off the official explanation.

Only thing to do is to confront the friend with the blatant contradictions and falsehoods in the official explanations.

I guess that's why my byline is "mutual eye rolling".

They think that I have been brainwashed too.

LOL!

Best thing is bring up specifics. If all they can do in response to these specifics is to say over and over "you've been brainwashed," i'd seriously wonder why i'm friends with someone like that.

I could change my byline to "mutually eyes glazing over".

( Might be too many characters.)

Bit of a joke on *test case * - it's only a case because of a test.
