First, I am Catholic, and so is this other guy.
I responded to him and asked, "Do you remember how you felt when the first news about Catholic priest abuses in Boston broke, a couple of decades ago?"
He replied, "I was sort of numbed with disbelief."
"Okay," I continued, "and have you ever thought about how such a scandal could exist for so long, not to mention other scandals? Have you ever thought about the power structure at the top levels of the church administration that manipulated things to keep all the scandals a secret?"
"I guess I never thought of it that way," he replied.
"Well, " I said, "do you think that the the Catholic church is the only entity in the history of the world to have a power structure, and secret scandals, etc.?"
Silence.
"And so," I added, "by simple extrapolation, I am confident that a relatively tiny number of people in the highest positions among the governments, corporations and other institutions are all busy pushing their agendas, and protecting their secrets. And if that's true, it's probably just as true that an even higher level of controllers are orchestrating things to their advantage and to further their agenda."
Deer in the headlights stare.
Hopefully they keep going instead of relapsing like I've seen others sadly do.
Agreed, I know several people that once redpilled, and started to learn some truth. They submerged themselves back into non reality even deeper because they can't handle the truth. These people won't make it to the end, they are party of the 4-6% in my opinion.
That's not necessarily true. It often takes people several shock waves to change their deepest foundational beliefs. They might have their eyes opened and then retreat back to what is safe and familiar. This might need to happen a few times before they are wiling to accept the new, unwanted reality.
Kind of like how you might hit the snooze bar on your alarm a few times, trying to get back to that deep, comfortable sleep you were in. But you've been jolted awake already so your sleep isn't quite as deep. Each new jolt wakes you up even further. It's just a matter of time before you accept that you have to wake up.
Basically, the sheep are efectively cult members who worship the great tell-u-vision deity. These 80-90% of the population are in a totalitarian/suicidal cult of the injection -- they should be treated as cult members, like in the Jim Jones suicide cult in the '80s. Impossible to change their minds, period. It is simply not worth trying to convince them of objective facts. He recommends letting totalitarianism keep on growing until it blows apart and breaks down of itself, like the Nazis did in the '40s. Totalitarian states can never continue forever, because of their internal contradictions and the nature of human beings.
So "another 2 weeks"?
This is not historical. The Nazi regime was not destroyed by internal contradictions (it had none). It was destroyed by being conquered by the Allied powers, its homeland bombed out of recognition, and its leaders being tried (and sentenced) for crimes against humanity. I don't think we want to "wait" for a World War to end our oppression.
And it doesn't help for members on this board to express anti-Semitism and sympathy for Nazism.
You're right, and I plan to keep at it with him.
