Still... the fact that they've been hearing it all along, even if dismissing our message as fiction / conspiracy theory... that will prepare them to accept the truth when it finally comes through "official channels". It won't be as much of a shock, it will be more like the evidence that we don't really have yet, just circumstantial evidence that we're trying to explain while they're currently dismissing it entirely.

So even while they say we're nuts, they'll remember. I've seen it already with evolving attitudes toward the pandemic. As the evidence hits mainstream, some people have remarked that they had thought I was imagining stuff, but now they see I knew all along...
All because I relayed and explained data from sources they weren't looking at.

So let's all keep on. Different styles will open different minds. Your take may make more of a connection than some "authority".
