Love the discussion here. Thanks for your insights u/FractalizingIron 👈🏻
In an effort to add to the thought experiment, here are some things I believe. Quite a few others here believe them too. However, if I were to ask normies, RINOs, Commies, or Dems (but I repeat myself), they would all call me a Liar, a Conspiracy Theorist, a Domestic Violent Extremist, or some other trope.
Covid was sensationalized to make it a pandemic when it was not at all. Deadly, sure, just like flues, but not a real pandemic.
Vaxxines were not safe and effective and didn't stop the spread. In fact, they destroyed natural immune systems and increased health issues and death.
The 2020 and 2022 elections were stolen. I believe there is massive evidence nationwide.
The court systems are completely corrupted and defunct. This is due to bribes, corruption, and blackmail.
The number one and most powerful source of blackmail is diddling kids and/or killing them. This corruption controls the highest levels of power in the world.
There are many more. My point is that depending on the audience, they are either fully believed or completely discounted.
When Trump says things like Joe is Shot, I believe he is purposely using phrases with double meanings. This could be taken as tongue in cheek or literally. He often leaves doors open for multiple interpretations.
I believe he does this for multiple reasons: to communicate, to distract, to inflame, to provide legal "outs," and probably a few more.
One thing I think I know for sure is that we have been engaged in WWIII, an Information War, since at least 2015. This is a global propaganda war that is larger and more complex than it has ever been in human history.
Yes, we could say this all started before 2015. However, Trump (the Outsider) coming down the escalator was the equivalent of a Pearl Harbor attack on the Deep State. All of MSM, BigTech, and government has been on a full frontal Assault on us for going on 9 years straight.
[Yes, I realize Pearl Harbor was possibly fake just like 9-11, but needed some example to use.]
As always, our greatest weapon, which you have tremendous stores of, is our ability to DISCERN. May we all use this weapon so wisely.
I'll admit I'm a big skeptic on certain popular beliefs that do the rounds, for a number of reasons or factors that attach to them.
One, lack of substantial verifiable evidence. (Example, I am YET to see even one forensic analysis based in anatomy and biological knowledge arguing that the Biden guy is not the Biden guy. It's always a layman's argument. Laymen here meaning someone who is not actually trained in the field under discussion.)
Two, emotional charge connected to the beliefs. The level of emotional attachment to certain beliefs carries, I think, a sort of tracer element. I pay a lot of attention to the emotional dimension.
Three, utilization or promotion by disreputable sources including scammers, grifters, paytriots.
Four, lack of practical applicability to the so-called 'knowledge'. In other words, does it even matter? How so? Does it make any substantial different one way or the other, in practical terms of choosing actions in the current time? In certain cases, the answer is no, and yet people still attach very .... passionately .. to the ideas.
There are a few other factors, but when they are coalesce around the same thing, for me, its a rather powerful cascade of red flags.
I don't see anything wrong per se with having beliefs, but its also important to distinguish between beliefs and objective facts.
When Trump says things like Joe is Shot, I believe he is purposely using phrases with double meanings.
There are some cases where I think this is true, but I also think that some people read too much into it, instead of balancing their interpretation in conjunction with a framework like the one I've touched on above here.
People love to believe, and they love to believe they are right. It does a lot of things, from bringing comfort, a sense of security, warding off a variety of unpleasant emotions and issues.
But because belief is such a powerful thing, that's why I try to be as circumspect as I can with it, by running my beliefs through a framework of many different definition points to check and balance. Because if I believe something, then I'm going to want to translate that into conviction and determination.
And.... the enemy is ALWAYS out to try to convince us of certain beliefs that serve him and not us.... So, I tend to be wary.
Anyway, apologies for the diatribe!
Thanks very much for your interesting and descriptive comment! Very good stuff!
