(1,040 posts)who is so deep into this sh*t I cannot dig them out. Every time I refute something he sends me, he gets angry, saying I am "attacking" him, and all he is doing is passing on information to me." I tell him it's not information if it's a pack of lies. But that's not what he wants to hear. He is ex-military and is convinced higher ups are going to be arrested and charged with treason, including Biden, Hillary Clinton and get this, Henry Kissinger. He posted ytube videos from some dude named Borg Clone with a whopping 7k subscribers. I asked him - "this is where you're getting your info???" He didn't want to hear that.
But if my own family member can think this stuff is for real, imagine the batsh*t crazy people out there who also believe it?

(82,849 posts)When he passes information on to you, get some specifics: What does he think is about to happen, and when is it going to happen? Specific events by a specific date (not just "February", but February of what year?). Then give him a choice of stakes: A hundred bucks? Shut the fuck up forever? Name the stakes, my friend. Let's cut out the conspiracy malarkey, and get down to brass tacks. If he's impervious to reason, make it cost him money.

My condolences.
I would cut all contacts.
I've had to do it myself.
It works.

Hate to break it to you but
1) Every batshit crazy person out there is somebody's family member
and
2) Sadly in this case, that family member is you.

From 1978 through 1988, Powell served as an assistant United States attorney for the Western and Northern Districts of Texas and the Eastern District of Virginia, where she handled civil and criminal trial work.

She has served as lead counsel in more than 500 appeals in the Fifth Circuit courts, resulting in more than 180 published opinions.[2][18][19]

Seriously? Is this the same "lawyer" or an imposter? Somebody needs to contact her bar association.

(63,221 posts)That woman is by far the most effed up person we have encountered yet on the other side. She is completely untethered from reality. Like, not even in the ballpark.

(17,345 posts)and then went the full fucking monty and bought that DIY Family Size Home Lobotomy Kit she saw on TV. And she probably spent an additional 29.95$(plus shipping and handling) for the Self-Amputation Chainsaw because it came with two MAGAzi hats with the glittery swastika's on the back and a couple of NeverPress KKKlan robes.
Well, that was after she chewed through the restraints.
