Thank you guys... This has been helpful

Hi there, first time poster. I thought i'd post here because I didn't know where else to ask and comment about this. I'll try to keep this brief. I do not follow news media at all and get most of my "news" from other sources or in conversation with family/friends. I do have a few alternative sources that I trust and visit quite regularly. I'm having a hard time getting the thoughts out.... I've been listening to FDR/Stefan for almost 2 years now. I try and keep up to him (Stefan) with his youtube vids and am taking my time going thru the past podcasts (just getting into the 300's now.) Some podcasts i listen to many times, some only once. It's changed my life. I live in a small, very small Canadian, east coast town. The mentality here is just as predicted thru the experience of my gained knowledge of FDR and Morals, NAP, etc... and man I gotta say, it's the hardest, loneliest uphill climb i've ever taken. I'm isolated... everyone seems sick, delusional. And thru the podcasts I know, I understand why myself and the others are the way we are. This latest event, the shootings at the parliament hill in ottawa, man, i can't have a simple conversation without people wanting to shoot all the "fucking assholes over there" or "string them up" or one guy even said: "It's simple line them up and ask one question do you support our Canadian troops or you against if there extremists and living in Canada and answers the latter then shoot them" (From Facebook) How do you respond to that without either getting into a long debate, or shrugging your shoulders and changing the conversation. I felt I made a good move by responding that even though I disagree with his point of view i'd be willing to talk if he would like to private message me or call. i'd be happy to discuss this topic with him. No answer as of yet lol. I mean I understand the NAP, UPB, Morals, or at least i have a firm grasp of the basics. It's just incredibly isolating.. Perhaps i'm just at that stage now.. like a transition phase.. like going from gathering knowledge (which i know is ongoing) to comparison in my personal life... I'm doing my best, but maybe this post is just a rant or whatever...anyone else have experience with this stage of their.. life? Maybe I just need to post this to get it out... Thanks everyone.
