Thanks to the red pill suppository of 'rona hysteria, inflationary economic policies, and woke-ism, the percentage of friends/relatives/acquaintances who've taken the red pill and become based has dramatically increased and is only accelerating by the day. On one hand that's great to see. On the other, it makes it challenging to be gracious when normies you know are :shockedpikachu: when they finally realize that government is a jobs program for malicious Communists and that anything "good" they ever saw it accomplish was despite its best efforts to the contrary.

How do I best remain patient and gracious with normies as they proclaim shocking (to them...) realizations such as all government employment being job programs for people with no private sector skills, or public schools being Marxist indoctrination daycare for disinterested parents, or fiat currency being hot garbage? It's great to see, but it's kind of like a 40 year old 300lb person finally grasping that they're unhealthy after you telling them as much for decades. Huzzah that they finally got it, but it's hard to avoid snippy I-told-you-so behavior.

Any advice on how to remain gracious and patient under the circumatances?

when this typically happens obviously acknowledge they are correct and it is alarming.

But soon they will ask what to do about it. And then the goal isn't to convince them of anything, it's to advise them of how they can vote with their dollars to address the alarming things they are now noticing.

If it's a school thing, let them know they can take kids out of school and do home school. Also that some parents will get together and hire teachers without the school involvement to teach their kids the homeschool material if parents have to work etc...

Other than that you just have to breath and be aware you don't do the snob routine.
