A female friend dumped a great guy because he didn’t want to hear another word about the\u00a0conspiracy. “My thoughts of a mate died that day.”I told her she made a mistake.<\/h5>\n

by Henry Makow PhD<\/strong><\/h2>\n
A friend, a single woman<\/strong>, wrote:\u00a0 “My last significant relationship that lasted about 10 years…<\/em><\/h5>\n
Software engineer, making good money, very handsome, Marine.\u00a0Talk to me please!\u00a0Any new existential thoughts?<\/em><\/h5>\n
Towards the end of our relationship (and he was a good man, decent, nice to animals, family man, moral, would never beat me or starve me and so on…) I was waking up big time to the Satanic Conspiracy (and he just wanted to stay in his very, little, tiny, box.)<\/em><\/h5>\n
He laughed at me and thought I was a tin hat foil person.\u00a0 I remember the day he said to me, “I\u00a0 don’t want to hear about anything you have to say or think about what is going on ever again”.\u00a0 My thoughts of a mate died that day.<\/em><\/h5>\n
I don’t see myself as the typical female that I meet day-to-day.\u00a0 Concerned about stupid 3 d things.\u00a0 Never thinking beyond fashion and the latest fad, how they are aging or what their home d\u00e9cor looks like.\u00a0I cannot bear it.<\/em><\/h5>\n
A lot of women are really stupid.\u00a0But there are equally numbed out men.\u00a0It’s a wasteland Henry. —<\/em><\/h5>\n
I replied:<\/h5>\n
As you know, if I insisted on political sympathy from my wife, I would be divorced. I think you made a mistake dumping that guy. A marine, he was imprinted with a certain set of beliefs and has a right not to be confused or challenged. Marriages must be based on what you agree on, not what you don’t.\u00a0Don’t make the conspiracy your obsession.<\/h5>\n
She responded:<\/h5>\n
But…where do you get that feeling that someone “gets you?”. Do you ever worry about those who don’t get the BIG PICTURE?<\/em><\/h5>\n
DIVIDE AND CONQUER\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n
