I have zero sympathy for any normies. I don't care that they've been:
Brainwashed their entire lives
Fed sewer rat gmo foods to dull their brains
Fluoridated water
Communist education systems
Propaganda
Why? Cause so have we.
At what point do you look at a normie friend, family member or otherwise and think "fuck you and everything you are about"?
Cause that's where I am at.
They will rationalize until the very end just as Yuri Bezmenov stated. And before the prayer soldiers come in with "pray for them", I won't. I am tired of them, their ways and their stupidity.
These people are literally about to get bombed to oblivion and they're trying to tear down the air raid siren (us).
Fuck em all they need what's coming. It's the only way.
When a baby is born they slap its ass to make sure it's ok. Consider normies a baby that needs a good slapping.
I feel your frustration.
But in your post…the one thing that stands out for me…and has bothered me for the past four years….is in this remark you made about what they were exposed to in the world and:
I wrestle with this…why were we immune to all the
Brainwashing
GMO foods
Fluoridated water
Communist education systems
Propaganda
Why are some people brainwashed monkey minds?
And why do other people have brilliant prismatic minds?
Humility. Some people are willing to consider that they might be wrong about any given thing or situation. Apparently, there are some who don't have the humility to ask questions. I see this with faith, as well. There are those who are humble enough to realize they are not the center of the universe and who ask questions. And then there are those who refuse to consider that God actually does exist. To me, it's all about red pills. You have to want to know the truth, whether it's truth about 9/11 or truth about how we got here. That is why I keep saying, Jesus is the ultimate red pill. I think a lot of people who are about to take the red pill as we speak about it here, also, eventually take the ultimate red pill about God because they are exactly the sort of people who seek the truth. Just my 2 cents.
Are you the middle child, by any chance? And yes, a good comeuppance can certainly do it. This is why I think sometimes (and you sort of have to 'read the room' and figure out when it's appropriate) I think it's actually helpful to let people have it, so to speak. Because it may literally be the only time in their lives that has happened to them and it may wind up helping them so much. I think a lot of people's lives are on a track and it's like they don't see what's to their left or their right or even behind. But if someone gives them a good comeuppance, it breaks the spell and helps them see reality. There are times I can look back in my life and I wish someone would have done that to me. I may have found my way a lot sooner.
That's some really good 2 cents right there. James 4:6 says "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble". I have to remind myself of that every morning to not let pride rule my mind. I think part of the grace that God gives us when we are humble is opening up our mind to see the truth.
I’ve thought a lot about this too. Like why can I see this stuff, but my friends can’t. One conclusion I came to is that it’s bc I know more about history than they do. I know how the nazis slowly demonized ppl until the whole country turned on them. I know how Stalin demonized and then starved people. Then look at Khmer Rouge. I know about these events and have studied them. My friends only know what they learned in history class. I also think it has to do with being a Christian who actually KNOWS their Bible. The Bible talks many times about how you shouldn’t “follow the world.” And how the path is narrow that leads to life. A Christian should view events and think to themselves- “if the entire world is all going in this one direction, maybe I should question that.” The Bible tells us that satan is currently in control of the earth. These Christians around me know the Bible says it, but they don’t really believe it. We do.
MissMagaMillenial, you have intelligence, curiosity, compassion, concern for the truth, and the courage to clearly see things that most people's defense systems blur and then erase.
You really ARE exceptional, even among those here. And normies don't need to share all those characteristics to wake up. They just need to see and understand that they've been lied to by a large, powerful group that means them harm. Even THAT is difficult, but getting people to that point is mostly what The Great Awakening is.
I've been awake for decades, and one of the things I had to wake up about was the nature of Christianity. I was dragged to Church and Bible school on Sundays and then saw many of the kids and parents who attended church behave neurotically in harmful or outright hateful ways towards others (racism in the '50s & 60s for instance; cruelty to others in school or from parents to their own children). Plus, the Big Santa Claus version of God in the Sky just didn't work for me, even as a five-year old: Too much like the Easter Bunny. In any case, it was clear that just reading the Bible and professing Christianity didn't heal people.
How many do you know who actually follow Jesus' advice on children, for instance?
Adults are not to be the role models for children. HEALTHY, UNDAMAGED CHILDREN ARE THE ROLE MODELS FOR ADULTS. That is one reason why HARMING children is such a serious crime.
It's also the main reason tyrants have always insisted on taking over education; until you damage the mind and soul of a child, you can't really rule them. Leave enough of them undamaged and your tyranny eventually falls. BTW, Alice Miller (in For Your Own Good: Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence, for instance) shows how harming children not only ruins THEIR lives but also creates the conditions for horrors like the Third Reich.
Sorry for the lengthy, not-entirely-on-topic response, but also thank you for triggering it.
It’s interesting - take the scriptures you quoted about how we need to be like children. And how the Bible tells us to be as innocent as doves. One thing I’ve noticed about myself since I realized how many bad things are going on in the world is that I don’t feel the ability to have that childlike innocence anymore. It feels like we have all become warriors and for the past two years (or more), and I can’t snap myself out of it, ever. It’s like I’m always trying to think of ways to stay one step ahead of whatever bullshit is going on. And the bullshit has been non-stop. I can’t wait for things to calm down at some point so I can relax again
I don't see innocence as not knowing about the existence of evil.
I see innocence as not having been corrupted by that knowledge; not having malice in your heart toward others even as you learn that you may have to harm or kill others to protect yourself or other innocent souls. Jesus himself wasn't innocent of the knowledge of evil, but he WAS innocent in the manner I described.
That's not fully the same thing as "child-like" innocence but it's the best that can be done when evil threatens.
I believe you are still innocent; only stressed out by the evil surrounding us and by knowing you must fight it in whatever ways are available to you.
Answer: Scripted television programs and commercials.
Decades ago I watched a lot and gradually tapered off. Now I only watch SEC football in the fall and the 'woke' commercials are like sandpaper.
I turned off the propaganda and it changed everything.
Peoples lives are a story and the TV writes the story for them. Many don't have the humility or strength to realize their story was wrong.
My family and I have pondered this exact thing (we're all awake). We wonder why we have overcome it so easily and for others it seems they want to smother themselves in the lies. We've narrowed it down to a mix of a few things: genetics, faith/we are chosen to be awake, stronger wills/stronger minds, etc. But who really knows?
My sister (who I’ve been trying to wake up for almost 3 years) told me that it’s bc it’s too scary and difficult to accept that our world is run by evil people. She said she wants to believe that most people are good at heart or else she would be miserable in life. I told her that her utopia won’t be reality until Jesus comes back. That was a year ago she said that to me, and I’m still trying to tell her info. She’s very slowly coming along
Good luck then! But you're right, if people were all still really good at heart Jesus would not need to make a return. We all know He WILL make a return, which means that the majority of people right now or sometime in the future will not be good at heart and will be outright evil. It's, sadly, necessary for Jesus' return. Humanity must fall once again like it did with Adam and Eve for Jesus to come back.
I don't know. I've thought about that myself but there has to be something to explain it and I have not found that out yet. At this point, they are rapidly becoming a threat
