I believe everyone here suffers from this.

It’s mind boggling. I remember after a few years of unsuccessfully trying to redpill friends and family about 9/11, coming to the realization that “holy shit, they can see it with their own two eyes and STILL call me crazy for believing mine. it REALLY IS mind control!” Ive been tweeked out about that concept for 20 years now, and the past 2 years have just fucked me up. I simply cannot fathom peoples’ denial at this point in time. It’s so much deeper and more insidious than “not wanting to admit being wrong”. As far as I can grasp it, It’s got to be something akin to black magic - a spell to keep people blind while staring right into the face of a staggering mountain of proof. I wish I could put better words to it
The reason they can't accept it is the same reason that betrayal hurts so bad.
When you are betrayed, your mind realizes that a part of your life has been lived as a lie. It has to re-evaluate all of the time that the betrayer was lying to you. If you've ever been through it, you know that it hurts.
With betrayal, you have no choice but to go through the pain.
But when it comes to 'accepting new facts' (the kind that lead to the same sort of re-evaluation and pain), you do have a choice --- and there is a subconscious pain-avoidance system that kicks in that (essentially) says, "If you don't accept the new info, you don't have to go through the pain."
The new info would undermine 'how they see the world' - and many don't want to go through the pain.
Think about how traumatic it has been for us to absorb everything that we have learned. Now consider that our learning was voluntary and incremental - spread over a period of months or years.
Imagine going through all of that upheaval involuntarily, and all at once.
The subconscious protects them from pain by disbelieving the upheaval.
Yep. Normies have to experience some degree of ego death to awaken and it’s scary, especially with their often fragile mental state, and all the brainwashing convincing them the government is trying to save them rather than actively trying to kill them.
One component of this phenomenon in my opinion is that people are dishonest with themselves. People constantly lie to themselves about so many things to protect their ego. But until they can be honest with themselves, they will be forever entangled in this matrix.
