I miss who my uncle used to be. No idea how he can do a complete 180. His father, who was an illegal immigrant must be rolling in his grave.

How do you go from attending your friend's gay wedding to telling that same friend they should get divorced and seek help?

it makes me think that this constant recital of "people are waking up" is more like people have fallen for deceitful marketing. if he happily attended a gay wedding beforehand, then the only reason he speaks down upon it now is because he's been programmed... played like a kazoo, if you will

because playing a fiddle actually takes some semblance of knowledge, and god knows these guys don't have that lmao

Doesn't that go both ways though?

On one end you are programmed to accept gays,

On the other you are programmed to reject.

And before all that, you are programmed to understand the concept of gay.

It's all programming. Now that social programming happens so quickly and such large scale... Humans weren't meant to handle that much programming.

Now, some people, at some point, start to question all programming. Those are the most resilient to direct programming from others, and the most able to program themselves based on judgement of all the programming going on.

But for the rest it's just a frustrating mess of self inconsistencies.
