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.
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.
