My girlfriend worries about the same thing with my VOP writing, and other areas I plan on venturing such as gangstalking. I will tell you what I tell her.
This all might be futile, the darkness always to control and abuse the masses. But the only certainty is that if no one speaks up it will not change. We have gotten this far down into the abyss because so many don't speak up. And if it reaches a point where it goes much further than it has, they will no longer hide what they do. It has become so apparent as everyone compares their stories, their truths it is no longer just some stupid conspiracy theory. To many have experienced the same crap and they can't put this back in the box.
This is one of my worst nightmares...things are getting so bad so quickly.
You're right about how if nobody speaks out, things will surely not change for the better.
After you reason with her does your girlfriend feel better about you being outspoken?
No, she doesn't feel any better. She has a mistrust of the government for personal reasons, ones I understand. However, I have to be part of the solution or I have abandoned all of my brothers and sisters who would see a better world. The best I can give her is my comfort that I understand her fears, and share some of them myself.
The first thing I thought of when I read this is fear for you and especially her when and if you make your gangstalking research public. Often they will attack the one who has a stronger fear response or who they consider the weakest link. Speaking out against it might just be asking for it. You may already have a hunch that it's a possibility, but I thought I'd warn you anyway.
Yes, I understand. Thank you for your concern. :)
