The Propaganda Machine has certainly worked in the US for the last 60+ years! We all suffer from some or all of the following mental disorders to a greater or lesser degree, but we all have been affected and this is the issue at hand!
Group Think
Stockholm Syndrome
Learned Helplessness (Hopeum can be a cover for this issue)
Normalcy Bias
Cognitive Dissonance
Confirmation Bias
That Ventura clip certainly highlights just how complete the snow-job has worked on the population at large (I wonder how many "keyboard warriors" that regularly post on this site took the Covid Vaccine? Most of the population of the world agreed to be used as a Nazi-Style test subject!
The usefulness of these disorders to the "Aristocrats" is to sideline most or all of us in some way or another. Each one of us must understand that we have all been affected to some degree (the 2 I see most among the Patriot community is/are Learned Helplessness and Confirmation Bias...with a close runner up Group Think.
That said...we all need to understand these disorders and look within for any evidence we may suffer from them. As long as we remain captive to these six disorders of the mind, we as a country will continue to be enslaved to the wicked parasites that have unleashed these disorders upon the world.

Honestly i think sites like this help encourage vaccine refusal and other types of resistance. You need a social group of peers that you would be ashamed to admit what you did-- to counterbalance the family, social, and work related "shames" potentially being wielded against us irl.
However, ideally, we shouldn't need a social group of peers to lean on and help us stand by our convictions if we had a society that was mentally healthy and didn't suffer from said conditions. We could all think and be strong in our convictions and be truly individuals...but that would be a perfect world.
Idk if that's totally true. Human beings are social creatures and it isnt a sign of weakness to want to belong to a group. Independence to the point of being a hermit isnt necessarily a sign of strength so much as social retardation.
It's good to be able to take care of yourself even in emergencies, but we shouldnt strive to be so far removed that we are unable to group with others even when it would be beneficial. That is to say, isolation for isolation's sake isn't a virtue.
I think one useful thing about religion is it generally weaponizes this aspect into group shame about things that are harmful to the collective good. As a society largely untethered from religious constraints, we are seeing firsthand the results of a pride-based culture.
And what we're reaping is dysfunctional marriages, broken families, public debauchery, rampant pornography, and a pandemic of sex trafficking to meet the demand caused by everyone pursuing their own gratification.
In my opinion, things were better when people would be ashamed to pursue these things because their peers would reject them.
Great reply! Thanks for the balanced and thoughtful perspective...I agree...definitely don't want to be too dogmatic in individuality...we are people created in God's image and we do need each other desperately!
I agree, it is a constant battle to keep myself checked and centered, a lot of introspective soul searching and constantly praying for discernment and not to be led astray.
I can still get roped in, but it's much less often and usually does not last long.
I am extra careful where Trump is concerned, he is very good and I am a willing participant in everything Patriotic.
As you said, confirmation bias and group think are extremely easy to get sucked in to!
