Tbh I’d say they are too trusting rather than dumb in some cases. Also some are actually blinded by fear, having to countenance the idea that everything you know or believe in has been a lie is a helluva thing to get your head around.
When I first got to Iraq there were so many explosions. One somewhere in the city every hour it seemed. This was near the end of the war when we occupied Bagdad.
I remember flinching the first dozen times. Then I got hit really close one night. Other side of a wall about 3 chu lengths away if you know what that means. Maybe 50 feet.
That one was so loud and concussed so hard I bounced in.my bed.
I waited for my heart to chill out and rolled over and went back to sleep.
After that, I was totally numb to all of it. Gun fire, IDF. My pint is you can get used to absolutely anything given the right set of circumstances.
This is true. My fox news neocon parents won't accept it. I've told them everything, shown them everything and its still just like, "I don't think that's true, sweetie". As they slip back into their lazy-boys with the premium cable box, tune in and drop out.
But that’s life, right? Geez, we should have learned as children that not everybody is trustworthy or honest. The bullies who stole your lunch money? These “normies” need to ask themselves, “What if . . ?” To me, if there’s even a sliver of truth in what we’ve been trying to show them, do they really think it’s better to play ostrich than to meet the deception eyes open? A whole generation (or two) raised to believe they’re entitled, so that they’re primed to be enslaved.

Conditioned.

What do you do with that level of demoralization?
Wait for hospital bills
They still claim neither one of them have taken any shots. I wish I could say I believed them.

Agreed, but the plain fact is that they have not been taought that way. Failure to parent is at least 50% of the problems we have currently.
How much better we'd be off right now if people has said to their children:
-Get off that computer, go outside!
-Stop mutilating those bugs, that is wrong.
-Eating people or babies is always wrong!
-Don't worship Satan!
-God is real!
-Money isn't everything!
-Death isn't fun, but its ok.
-You, boy! Respect women
-You, girl! Respect boys
You aren't special, but God loves you anyways.
You can be happy in your life without being rich.
-College is optional but recommended.
-Going into debt for the vague promise of a slightly better job is stupid.
These are all on the money.
I'm not sure children need to be told that eating babies is wrong.
Based on what we're seeing now, maybe we should cover our bases....
You’ve got it.
Exactly.
