Fear. The sheep have been brainwashed with fear. And they were literally told by their FNM puppet masters that any information not approved by FNM is dangerous misinformation and should be ignored.
A difference between NPC-types and us is that many of us, at least, have never accepted that "ignore the other side" BS. Never. Not since I was young. If someone tells me to not listen to what someone else has to say, that's a signal that I need to listen to what that other person has to say.
If the system has been good to you, if you’re entrenched in the club, if you have a cushy or relatively stress-free life because you’ve bought in, if you’ve made it, you won’t have any reason to think that this same system has a grand plan to kill you. That’s why people who have different, darker opinions are labeled conspiracy theorists. These cushy people think we’re loons because the system has worked out just dandy for them. It doesn’t compute that something nefarious could be behind it. Meanwhile, they’ve got myocarditis and we don’t.
Yup. We saw it. Why didn’t the rest listen?
