After my last post asking for advice was such a success (seriously I got so many good points, I managed to get myself to a very peaceful place very quickly) I thought I'd again ask for your view points.
Why do some people wake up and others don't? Why are so few people driven to find the truth? I find myself thinking this everyday when I go get coffee. I live in a city of 1.2 million people. In the last year the number of people I've seen outside without a mask can be counted on one hand. I'm the only one.
At first the dumbfounded stairs shocked me, then it amused me, no I just smile politely before they quickly look away.
Are korean people just supremely cucked (I'm not korean fyi).
Give me your whackiest thoughts.
Edit : Link to my previous post. There is some seriously good advice to those feeling overwhelmed

Ugh I’m posting twice because these replies are already so cringe (no offense guys i love ya but your arrogance about your own intelligence is nauseating—people generally are just as smart as you).
Guys it’s very very simple, ok? We are pack animals. The Bible says “It is not good for man to be alone.” And psychologically, that’s true. If you stick a prisoner in solitary confinement he can go clinically insane within a week.
We all desperately want to fit in. That’s why people refuse to look at conspiracy theories, etc. What if someone sees us considering them in the first place? What will they say? And what’s worse, what if I start to believe it? I’ll be all alone.
You want an example of how people are smart but people are too afraid of being ostracized for it to matter? I’ll give you two:
Masks - You have any idea how many people already know masks don’t work and wear them anyway because of social pressure? This isn’t an intelligence problem.
Building 7 - If you start asking around quietly (always looking over your shoulder for who might be listening) about 9/11, a specifically about Building 7, I think you would be stunned to find that the vast majority of people 100% believe it was an inside job.
But why do they look over their shoulders and whisper when they bring it up? Because nobody likes being called out. Nobody wants to look crazy even if they know they’re right.
It takes a special kind of convert to truth to be able to stand up to that barrage of social pressure and intelligence is not the key component in those people (we have plenty of idiots here on our own site). What is that component? I’m not sure (I’m not that smart either).
Honestly it might even be anti-social-ness. If might just be that we are the rabble rousers. The rebels. The ones who get off a little bit on being different. The ones confident enough to tell the crowd “Sorry you’re just fucking wrong.”
Go watch the Stanford Prison Experiment. or the Milgred Experiment. Smart people can be convinced to do stupid and even horrible things due to social pressure. It’s why propaganda is so powerful. It bypasses our intelligence. After all, if survival requires laying low, who’s the smart one, the one keeping a low profile or the one telling everyone else how wrong they are?
Just...cool it on the back slapping, ok? We’re not that brilliant. We’re just probably that numb (yes numb, not dumb).
"Oooooh, look at me! I'm smart, exceptionally self aware, and humble!!! OOOOOHHHHHHH!"
That's you ^
Lol. Nice post. It's true. 100%
Not entirely. Much of it is, but not the " we all desperately want to fit in " part. With what u see today does anyone really wanna just fit in ? Go along to get along ? If that were the case we would all have masks on in our liv rm while watching msm.
No fk that. That's herd mentality. It's dangerous, boring, and stagnates growth on a few different levels.
" It's the outsiders that change the world " - POTUS.
Perhaps OP was talking in general terms.
See? Nobody can totally escape it. Even when we know it’s happening to us.
And thanks. Your pat on the back shall sustain my fragile ego for at least minutes ;)
Precisely. It's impossible to break free of the noise. It is ultimately what grounds us all. My biggest realization out of this entire experience is just how powerful information is. It completely shapes, defines and limits reality.
It is like when you are a child learning about the vastness of space and realize how utterly tiny we are. Are we at all significant? Or painfully insignificant? On a grander scale.
Mind twistingly humbling and unanswerable.
What do you say about the people who are "losing" their entire family and friend group to Q conspiracies? Check the Qanon Casualties reddit. I think some of those stories are fabricated but enough of them are real. There are people leaving their spouses, disowning their parents, etc. Some people have said they have "lost" both parents, all siblings, both aunts and uncles, and half their friends to Q. My question is: How many people that you have known and trusted your whole life have to change their viewpoint in a short period of time before you say "hmm... let me take a look at this". But they don't.
What do you mean what do I say about them? It sucks for them but it’s also clearly worth it to them. Something about their personalities values the truth more than acceptance. Or perhaps they believe they’re on the cutting edge and are just hopeful everyone else will eventually catch up and they can say “I told you so.”
As for what you say is your question at the end there—I’m again not sure what you’re asking. Could you rephrase it a bit? Something about the syntax is throwing me. It sounds like maybe you’re expressing frustration about one of your friends or family that is maybe holding out and still resisting Q even though most of you have bought in and you’re asking how to help them? Maybe?
I'm frustrated in general and I'm also curious about how people think - it's something I probably spend too much time analyzing.
If it truly is a "fitting in" thing, why are these people allowing themselves to be the black sheep of the family as literally everyone they know has gotten into Q? I'm not really asking you to answer this, just pointing it out. It's fascinating to me.
Because there are many more people whose opinions they care about than just their family. Schoolmates, teammates, teachers, bosses, coworkers, love interests, name it. Or does your whole family live in a bunker or on a farm around no other people?
Yeah I think you might be on to something. I'm above average intelligence, but certainly nothing approaching genius levels. Wasn't even top of my class in school.
But I have always despised fitting it. Worst possible thing to me is the thought of being just like everyone else.
