Sometimes I dream about moving away to another country. One where people have normal relationships, families, culture, and see past the obvious attempts by the media and institutions to subvert the culture and destroy it. It feels as though I'm living amongst a bunch of robots whose heart strings can be tugged in any arbitrary manner by puppet masters, in order to produce a desired outcome. These people are so incredibly mechanistic and stupid in their thought processes that you can manipulate them to perform actions which will quite literally lead to their own demise.
I wish I could wake people up, but I've come to understand that you are either born with the ability to see through this nonsense, or you aren't. It's not really something that can be taught. I've always been aware of this dynamic, even as a young child. The world is basically smart people manipulating dumb people. It's a grim view of the world, but it's true.
I'm old. I'm no genius, but I'm smarter than the average bear, and all of my life I've marveled at how stupid some people can be. Most people are either unintelligent, have no situational awareness, have no common sense, or are brainwashed and behaviorally controlled so they never question anything. I used to wonder why I have always continually questioned everything about what I think and why. I now see it as a gift. "Is that true?" "How do we know that?" and "Why do I believe that?" have been my go-to questions, and it's resulted in my reversing my thinking numerous times over my life.
My username is a pun on what I always try to guard myself against. I may know some things, but what I don't know far outweighs what I think I know. I used to be quite liberal decades ago and an atheist, and I genuinely believed diversity was a good thing. I'm now far right wing, a Christian, and a racial realist. I also wised up on the JQ. I did this on my own because I question things.
You can try to teach people, but most of them are so entrenched in their conditioning, they get angry when you create some doubt in the reality of their world view.
