We make a lot of excuses for people who are still moving with the program. Rationalizing their behavior with things like "I once was one of them" or "They're too scared to face the truth".
But were you like one of them? Are they really scared to face the truth?
I think the vast majority who are still sleeping are incapable of seeing it.
Many, if not all of the major religions around the world speak of "the chosen" repeatedly in their scriptures.
This is something I think may have been lost in translation through out the centuries. It's always been described as people who believe and remain steadfast. But is that really what it means?
I know religious folk (Christians, Muslims, Sikhs etc) who just do what they are told by their particular church/mosque/temple etc. No real critical thinking, repeat actions only out pure fear or habit.
Ask them about covid, the deep state, mass manipulation, false flags, weather manipulation, royal families, banking schemes, demonic possession or whatever else and they will look at you with blank eyes or just immediately dismiss everything you say.
I truly don't believe the majority is capable of seeing "it" nor will they ever.
They can be molded into behaving against a particular system but they can never truly think for themselves. Lots of people on this very site are like that. They were all in to the system prior to Q and then went all into Q after and now fervently defend it just as normies defend government. Not that Q and government are synonymous, but rather the behavior in both followers is similar.
One of the largest ever NPC gatherings just occurred in the 18 hour long line ups for the queen of babylons funeral. They stood there like bots on a line for 18 hours just to nod or wave like an idiot at a billionaires rotten corpse after paying for the rotten corpses funeral themselves during a recession lol.
"The Chosen" could mean anything. I'm not convinced we understand what it means but it sure as hell ain't some religious NPC.
I don't think Free Will is the concept you described in your OP.
Free Will is the ability to make a decision to do or not do something.
But you are talking about critical thinking.
Free Will might or might not be a result of critical thinking, depending on the person and circumstance.
But they are two different things.
Everybody has Free Will.
Everybody also has the human ability to engage in critical thinking, unless they have a damaged brain for some reason.
But many of the non-brain damaged people who have the ability to engage in critical thinking, choose (Free Will) to NOT engage in critical thinking, for some reason, and instead they defer to what other people tell them to think and do.
Why THAT occurs is what we should be exploring.
Propaganda is powerful. Over the past 2 years, we have witnessed one of the most powerful propaganda efforts in human history. We can even go back 6 years and add in the anti-Trump propaganda along with the Covid propaganda.
Many people fell for the propaganda, but not all. Why is THAT?
The so-called "Big Lie" seems to work on a lot of people. Even the big lie of the "Big Lie" is ongoing propaganda. Joseph Goebbels, in writing about the "Big Lie" said that it can only last as long as the people can continue to be deceived by their own government. The fact that he was talking about the British government, and especially Winston Churchill, is hidden by today's propaganda claiming that he was bragging about what the Germans could do to their own people. No, he was talking about how the British fooled their own people and the world through their lies about the Germans.
So ... why do so many people fall for it and NOT question it, even when someone draws their attention to it?
The people still wearing face masks are doing it of their own Free Will, even though they have been deceived. But WHY are they STILL deceived after all this time? Lack of WILL to engage in critical thinking. You could say that is their inability to follow "Free Will," but WHY do they chose THIS (critical thinking) as the line drawn in the sand that they will not cross?
They demonstrate Free Will in most aspects of their life -- but NOT rational thought when it comes to questioning the people they perceive to be "authority."
It is a SLAVE mentality. WHY do they have it?
I think it’s a little bit of the sunk cost fallacy in action with some of these people. Even if they’re shown undeniable proof that they’ve been lied to, about the vax, Russia, Trump, history or anything really, the cognitive dissonance of not only accepting they’ve been lied to, but they’ve perpetuated it, or even worse wrapped their whole lives around it, they’d rather live in a state of denial with their heads in the sand about the matter, to protect their own pride and self worth, than untangle the lies their lives have revolved around and face ostracism from the perceived group think.
That’s what the great awakening is all about, making it okay, even acceptable to break from that false group think narrative that the media has weaved for decades now.
Interesting.
That’s not even including the inevitable and somewhat painful thought process of “if I was lied to about this, what else have I been lied to about?” and the rabbit hole that it can lead to, that a lot of us here and even on places like /pol/ have gone down, and having that illusionary fabric of reality called the matrix destroyed for themselves. Many NPCs can’t handle it, and subconsciously refuse to entertain the idea as a form of self preservation.
Ignorance truly is bliss.
