I had to tell my guy today who keeps calling Putin a POS
“Baby, you’re listing to the same media that up until last week was pushing COVID down our throats that Putin is bad guy, why do you think they’ve suddenly stopped lying when it comes to this?” (he’s super conservative but isn’t seeing the forest through the trees on this)
That's why it's important to look at every data point we receive from as many perspectives as possible. If you assume they're all lies we may miss something. If we assume they're all true then we're fucking retarded. Reality lies somewhere in the middle in most cases. Narratives are like currency. They only function as long as there is a belief in them.
You all have my blessing to steal my content all day and all night. It's hard to be impartial and not let our bias shape our reality. Even the most self aware people will still do hypocritical things. I'm still on mobile so it's a pain in the ass to post. I realized that knolls law thing a long time ago when I first got introduced to Reddit. Sharing content I'd come across with people familiar with that industry would often times result in them debunking it and completely countering the top comments from the thread. Then I found myself believing the very next thread as if it wasn't the same approved narrative of the day allowed to reach the front page.
Keep pointing out the facts, the comms, the inconsistencies, and the media lies in a low-key way. Over time, she'll start seeing them for herself whether she wants to or not.
I told my girls Mother about US funded biolabs there about a month or so ago.
On Friday she says to me "They are saying in the news that there are not bio labs there"
I say "YES! And that is how you know there IS US bio labs there."
She says "Ahhh, I see!"
Me and my girl have been red pilling her for a while, and it is great that she listens and learns.
She has refused the mRNA Vax, and is now watching all her friends her age that did get the shot come down with all kind of issues, some minor like weakness, dizziness and exhaustion to more serious issues ranging from heart problems to reoccurring cancers. She told us "You guys were so right about that experimental vaccine, My Doctor kept asking me if I wanted it and I told her, NO THANKS it is still experimental." Her doctor told her "it is absolutely NOT experimental"... She said "Prove that to me then." But ,after that her Doctor dropped the subject and is no longer insisting that she get the shot. Has not even mentioned it in her last visit.
I keep thinking that with all the info coming out on the daily, that normies are going to have a mass epiphany. I know cognitive dissonance is powerful, as are all internalized ideas, but holy jeez, some folks just won't (not can't) get it. Had a gig with a new server last night. I mentioned some "conspiracy" type of ideas and she interjected " Wait, not like Qanon stuff, right?" I told her "There is no Qanon, there is Q and there are anons." Talked about the difference between the media coverage of BLM protests and the Trucker Convoy. "They're all racists" she says. Racists with bouncy castles, lol. Can't wait for the EBS and Giant Voice.
The exact reason sheep always need shepherds to protect them from predators.
When the shepherds become evil, you get what you're seeing today.

Oh man that's the worst. I wince whenever someone who's mostly awake slip right back into the matrix
It's called Knoll’s law of media accuracy

That would do well to be its own post

I just spoke with a co worker about this. She is a sweet, lovely woman but thinks I am batshit crazy.
Tell her: "Bless your heart"

Tell her you appreciate that she is listening and paying attention!
they don't like wingnuts because you don't need a special tool to use them, just strong enough hands.
That written conversation is why I just don’t talk to anyone anymore. For real, my life includes my wife and kids, that it and it just fine by me.
Libs and logic are mutually exclusive
And don't allow them to call it "gain of function." It's "Bioweapon Development;" nothing more.

Sorry but most normies don't know about any of this. You give them wayyy too much credit.
Normies just think Putin is an evil dictator and attacked Ukraine because he's power hungry.
It's easier to lie to someone than to convince them they've been lied to.
