—— /// * A huge step with a friend yesterday * /// ———

Every couple of weeks I meet an old school friend of mine and we hang out for a few hours chatting. He's one of the few people who knows my stance on things. He’s open enough to hear things from me that the media refer to as “extreme” views. His views have been stuck for a while at the same stage: He hates 'wokeness' and thinks multiculturalism is a failure but he's still very much a normie, constantly justifying everything he says with great care to assure me he's not racist. He hasn't yet come to the conclusion that white people are being systematically erased. He's not remotely J-pilled and has never before questioned anything about the WW2 narrative he's heard his whole life.

Yesterday we met up and I decided to lay off a bit and avoid anything political as much as possible, only bringing things up very occasionally or only ever mentioning anything weighty when he started it. It worked. He was much more open and inquisitive. I really think I’m making headway. I could see for the first time the penny starting to drop. It can be extremely frustrating seeing people not get what seems obvious to us, but remember that most of us were in that place once too.

Relax. Go slow. Give people time. Don’t expect results to not take ages. Patience is key.

Many many thanks to all of you who tuned in, contributed and donated to Time To Get Up as well as all those who came on as guests. It's been a great pleasure doing this show and I will miss doing it for sure. I am taking time off from the internet as a big change in my life is getting in the way, but I will certainly be back with some sort of content at some point. Thanks again. The show would have been nothing without your support.

Time to bring this one back...
