they can barely remember it
I quit talking to a lot of people I knew. No idea where they are now, I don't know them anymore.
I didnt deal with anyone before and still dont now. Completely passed me by.
I've got an acquaintance who right now is freaking out about how she has covid right now. "Oh wow this strain is NO JOKE, everyone go out and get your boosters right now."
They make me fucking sick how stupid they are. Of course they have an autistic kid. Oh the irony.
They demonstrate no remorse. It's all about them and their virtue vs. the "essential" people who made the lockdowns possible. I have forever written them off. They'll be the first to die in the SHTF
It is very hard for me to trust anyone anymore. Many of them seem to have some sort of selective amnesia, like they are completely incapable of remembering how they acted or what they did. If you bring it up to them, they refuse to acknowledge it, or rapidly change the subject, or try to act like you are misremembering things, or you are weird for dwelling on it.
Have you had any specific interactions you would feel comfortable talking about?
This is the behavior of a narcissist trying to avoid conversation subjects that threaten the false view they hold of themselves.
these people are not objective. everything they do is an act of self preservation, reputation defense, etc. and they think everyone is like this, or at least the majority of the powerful, so they refuse to change (without signal from their leader)
I think some do it out of idiocy, and some do it out of conspiracy.
Sheepish.
I have one friend/colleague who just acts like nothing ever happened. He told me to quit talking to him once after I found out there was a chance I may not have gotten into a concert we planned to see if a shot was required by the venue. I think a lot of people will just keep their mouths shut and act like it was nothing.
I've been outspokenly right wing and anti-semitic for years so my friends were either on my side of things or had no issue with any of it. I can't really imagine being friends with someone that far gone, it's not like the brainwashing happens overnight, these sorts of people are addicted to junk media, reddit, and celebrities.
Its a trend; the ones who went along and timidly got pushed into it are the ones who may show the greatest of remorses. While the voiciferous kind either forgot completely or still think they are right, clottings aside (couple examples of people who got clots and TO THIS DAY defend this, and still would do it all again in a heartbeat).
2 of them are dying of heart ailments...
