Why do older people specifically and anyone else watch the mainstream news and believe any of thr horse shit?

You would think older people who have seen the politicians lie over and over and over and over for decades would wake up and turn the whit off.

Ever since 9/11 I knew it was all bullshit and didn't believe any of it.

They were raised by the TV, from day one; they never developed a natural defense against it, and society was unprepared for it.

I agree with what you said, but then explain younger people's aversion to he mainstream narrative? I have my own thoughts, but I'm curious what yours are.

They come out of the womb with a phone in their hand and a tiktok account. They listen to "influencers" for their news. Combine that with typical childhood rebellion against anybody over the age of 20.

Just so you know, I haven't forgotten this comment, I just want some time to ponder how I reply.

Upon further contemplation, how I would describe it is as an innate immune system much like what Voat has.
A society can react to an emergent threat, one that it's never encountered before, but only upon exposure and with time to develop a response, just like the one in our bodies.
In fact, I would argue that the Voat immune system is just a specialized extension of the primary social one, one specifically geared to deal with fags and shills.

Now, in regards to television, that was completely new and foreign to humanity, and Boomers had to be on the front line to be exposed to the cultural stresses and schisms it introduced, slowly and unwittingly developing mental mechanisms and norms to handle the stresses and conflicts television brought to bear upon the prevailing culture of the time, to be passed on and refined with each generation to come, but being the first, it was always going to be a case of, too little; too late, to save the Boomers.
Younger folks generally have a better grasp of reality versus fiction in that regard (although internet is an entirely different story, pun intended. Perhaps they will fill the shoes of their grandparents and develop an immune response to the web? But, nevertheless, they will still be Boomer-like in that they grew up with an emergent threat.)

I suppose it could be compared to Jung's collective unconscious, where humanity shares a set of primal archetypal concepts that has been continually developed and retained since our inception, passed on through genetic memory or what-have-you.
The Devil's Black Box could be a new addition, built upon the idea that there exists a box, not unlike Pandora's, in which lurks great evil, and to not trust anything that comes out of it without first examining it thoroughly, and even then to suspend belief (or to not open it in the first place.)
And like Pandora, humanity could not understand the danger unless and until it experienced it.

Because much of the old school never got the "other side of the story" directly from the source...the "other side of the story" was always narrated for them by a "trusted" MSM...then add to that the "bread and circuses" distractions and before long everyone's brainwashed but nobody wants to rebel because God dictates that the "meek shall inherit the earth and to turn the other cheek"...and of course "compassion, tolerance and understanding" is all part of God's plan for man...the situation we're in today is not easy for the common pleb to understand, not everyone is a Sage.

What's this "older people" stuff .. I have never heard of an under 40 yrs of age 911 truther.

No Plane at Shanksville.
Guided Missile at the WTC.
Cruise Missile at the Pentagon on 911.
Celebrating Jews Filming as the Twin Towers Went Down.
Thousands of Jews Absent From the WTC on the Day.
Warnings to Stay Away Came Via Telephone Messages..
From the Pulpit of NY Synagogues the Friday Before..
And From the Odigo Hebrew Language Messaging Service.

There were no hijackers the planes that struck the WTC Towers were piloted by remote control, using hardware developed by Rabbi Dov Zakheim, who with Zionists Jerome Hauer and Michael Chertoff engineered the whole project .. if you know of any 'young'uns" who have ever come up with anything like this get back to me.

Agree about the planes they were remote controlled or had missed type targeting systems with transponder in the towers.

Basically guided missiles. Still wouldn't bring the towers down they had tons of thermite and other bombs every where in those towers..

They were wiring them for months the bomb detecting dogs were removed by the Bush owned security company.

It's beyond obvious yet morons still believe the (((official story)))

They had tons of thermite and other bombs every where in those towers, they were wiring them for months.

Not quite .. Paul Laffoley a New York artist and former protege of Andy Warhol who worked for architectural firm Emory Roth during the WTC design phase, says explosives were built into the towers and Bldg 7 during construction, and says they were detonated on the day to bring them down.

https://i.postimg.cc/yW44xBvH/WTC-Infrared.jpg

The infrared satellite shot shows the absolute destruction that occurred at the WTC on 911, note all but the North Wing of WTC 4 has disappeared completely, the two planes that struck the towers did not possess enough kinetic energy to cause this level of destruction.

https://i.postimg.cc/FFc9tnP4/WTC-Beam.jpg

Nanothermite residues from demolition charges built in during construction have been identified in the dust from the fallout, the thermate charges were used to sever the steel beams that formed the skeleton of the towers, and were in no way responsible for the tremendous damage to WTC's 3, 4, 5, & 6.

https://i.postimg.cc/J7XznmPM/John-Feal.jpg

The WTC 7 debate revolves around an individual named John Feal whose bio says he is a "Demolition Supervisor," so what the Hell was he doing at WTC Ground Zero in New York September 11, 2001 in the first place, his explanation he was there to "help out," is unconvincing in the light of other evidence.

Barry Jennings and Michael Hess were ordered to proceed to the Emergency Management Room on the 23rd floor of WTC 7, after everyone had evacuated after being warned by then New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani that the Towers were going to come down, as well Giuliani is the only one with sufficient authority to have given such an order.

Both men were trapped on the 8th floor after explosions took out the stairwell as they attempted to exit the building .. the explosions they witnessed were the detonators that were to have set off the main charges, that had been built in during construction according to the Laffoley testimony.

https://i.postimg.cc/jq44GVPd/South-Tower-Collapse-x.jpg

Conjecture all three demolitions were to occur simultaneously at 10:00 am, however Murphy's Law saw to it that while the South Tower turned to dust on time, the North Tower and Bldg 7 were still on their feet, it took Feal nearly an hour working frantically in the toxic dust, until he set off the charges were to have brought both remaining structures down.

https://i.postimg.cc/4yfVJdV4/North-Tower-Collapse-x.jpg

Down came the North Tower however the main charges in WTC 7 had still not gone off, meant Feal had to bound across and work furiously by helmet lamp for seven hours, going from floor to floor resetting the timers and fuses..

https://i.postimg.cc/CKwFrqgK/Ro2Ldv.gif

Eventually razing the structure at around 5:00 pm on the afternoon of the same day .. thus as well as conventional explosives that had been built in during construction, thermonuclear demolition charges were positioned in both Towers.

WTC 3 - https://i.postimg.cc/bJFgFbbB/WTC-3-update.jpg
WTC 4 - https://i.postimg.cc/TYc9ZZrb/WTC-4-on-911.jpg
WTC 5 - https://i.postimg.cc/7LyR2m3g/WTC-5.jpg
WTC 6 - https://i.postimg.cc/C5x1dBQS/WTC-6.jpg

Those same micro nukes embedded in the collapse material, still had enough potency to wipe out the top nineteen floors of WTC 3 the Marriot Hotel, all but the North Wing of WTC 4, and to leave the gaping holes in WTC's 5 & 6 when it came into contact with them! Nukes at the WTC on 911.

You would think younger people wouldnt believe it either but same ratio of retards as far as I can tell.

It's amazing. Just whatever the hell they're told they believe it.

It might be fun to AI generate a video that tells red-pills put it on a USB and get them to watch on their TV. But it might be too much.

My elderly (84 and 82) neighbors, best people you’d ever have the pleasure of knowing, they watch the local morning, noon and nightly news. They come from the era when the media's job was to hold the politicians accountable. Now the media and the government are in lockstep. There’s no talking them out of it at this point. Nothing good can come from arguing points with them. Luckily, their grandson and my friend, he doesn’t go for any of t and they watch him closely. Maybe they’ll see some truth from people around them, but otherwise, I just let them be them and I don’t visit them during the times the TV is on.

Because the talking heads on the idiot box tell me what to think

[ - ] prototype 2 points 9 monthsJul 15, 2023 00:46:02 ago (+2/-0)

1. A hundred people in a room.

2. Half of them are lower than average intelligence.

3. The other half of them are higher than average intelligence but still don't question what an 'expert' tells them.

4. Platos cave intensifies.

[ - ] boekanier 2 points 9 monthsJul 15, 2023 00:42:39 ago (+2/-0)

It's a question of intelligence, not of age.

[ - ] texasblood -1 points 9 monthsJul 15, 2023 08:06:59 ago (+1/-2)

That's the problem.
Kids think they are smarter than those decades older.
Unapplied knowledge is not intelligence.

[ - ] usedoilanalysis 1 point 9 monthsJul 15, 2023 07:25:21 ago (+1/-0)

Because women and low T men are not independent thinkers. They seek group consensus, to them following the herd is a sign of intelligence.

I'll walk right up to the electric jew in a waiting room, and turn it off.

Waiting rooms are the only place i encounter the electric jew.

Because if they didn't, they would have to admit that just about everything they've learned since they were children was a lie. No person wants to feel as though their entire reality is a fraud.

Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television is a 1978 book by Jerry Mander, "who argues that many of the problems with television are inherent in the medium and technology itself, and thus cannot be reformed".

Sorry, no. We killed our televisions even before that book came out.

Because boomers didn't have to deal with all the bullshit we have today. They got a good a job. Worked hard. Got promoted. Made money and life worked well. They trusted their shit. They are starting to slowly get red pulled now.
