My sister , a Trump supporter and a doomer , said ,” Don’t you know Trump is sad?” I said ,”Honey , do you know this man after observing him for 4 years. He doesn’t get sad. He gets even!” Another close friend told me they're impeaching the president where he’ll lose his pension.SMH I told her this man is a billionaire who hasn’t taken one cent his entire presidency. He doesn’t need or want a pension! Are you all having similar issues with people? I cannot believe the ignorance out there.
Yes
Not only is he wealthy, he fits more in the ‘nearly dead’ demographic - why would he need his pension? (That doesn’t stop the globalists from wanting more, though their purpose is control).
Brainwashing, as the other commenter said. I’ve had to push back against everyone in my family, and against my friends. One of my brothers is all-in now, often sending me news before I can get to it, like Pompeo’s red wine tweet. Another is a huge Trump supporter but more of the TDW type (I think he likes to rage - but he is starting to come around).
I started red-pilling my immediate family when I was doing it to myself, crawling through dark rabbit holes. They’re fairly awake I think, to what goes on, but also don’t enjoy thinking about the painful parts of reality (ignorance is bliss, like other commenter). Ignorance frees you from responsibility, it’s not a good thing.
In line with Solzhenitsyn, Jung and JBP: when we confront the shadow of humanity, in a way, we confront our own shadow. We realize what terrible things we are capable of. We have to stare the dragon in the face and not flinch. Then pretty much all of us realize we are better than that and want our character to be as far from it as possible. We start to look at those things we can change that will make the world better. Even if they only make small ripples, they have an effect.
That’s a hard thing to do. Easier to pretend we’re all good people and there’s little or no suffering.
For some people, ignorance is bliss, as they say it.
For me, ignorance is a sign of laziness and the inability to educate oneself on something, so they resort to being ignorant and using the "ignorance is bliss" line.
This ignorance we are seeing is due to the blatant influx of propaganda and disinformation from the MSM and big tech, the 2 main avenues people still go to for news and updates. Until we nullify this, the ignorance will forever remain.
People rely on others to do their research for them. I, sometimes, am one of these people but more so because I don't have the time during work hours. For most people not on boards like this one, they're constantly relying on what the media is telling them and the media, knowing full well about this, takes advantage of them with propaganda. This was by design. Information becomes easier to access = people lose the sense of finding things out for themselves because they'll most likely come across it on their socials for example.
I was talking about the world leaders stepping down at work today and my boss didn't know who Angela Merkel is...
