It is difficult but it is good that we try to. It is not easy because they were complicit in the mandates and abuse of the unvaccinated and in what they have brought upon themselves as enablers. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Unfortunately, there is more than a grain of truth in what Goebbels said about the sheep-like behavior of the German people that led to their downfall in WWII and it is analogous to the situation in which we find ourselves today. Nonetheless, we must try, unlike Goebbels, to have pity.
"I feel no pity. I repeat, I feel no pity! The German people chose their fate. That may surprise some people. Don't fool yourself. We didn't force the German people. They gave us a mandate, and now their little throats are being cut!"
~ Goebbels to Mohnke in April 1945, blaming German sheeple for their imminent defeat.
It doesn't change anything. It's just not being like them and showing them at least a little bit of the compassion that they didn't show others who they were okay with having vaccinated or wearing masks against their will in order to keep their jobs, enter restaurants etc. Calling them sheep is too kind really. They behaved like f-cking pigs when one thinks about it!
No it doesn't sound like you're a sheep. What they did is not sympathy or empathy evoking. I don't know that it was essential to engage with them more. Not doing so is the natural and often smart thing to do. It means you're in survival mode. They can be dangerous. They're not rational or they wouldn't be swallowing the propaganda and getting shot up with novel and insufficiently tested substances.
