The people accept the world they are presented with! - Morpheus. The Matrix is real and it has most of them! How do we break them out of a jail, which they do not even know exists and will willingly fight to preserve!
Wow well said! I don’t know. I had high hopes 8 years ago that they’d wake up by now but just spent the evening with close friends where 4 of us are awake and the other refuses to wake up - drinks around a fire and she was fighting us all. Brutal. I don’t know what will turn these people.
in my opinion this is the moment in world history where the sheep are separated from the goats by extreme polarization. Those who are sitting on fences are being shoved in one direction or the other and must pick a side. Once they pick a side, they will hold onto it, as it has become a part of their identity.
For those who are wrong to switch world views they would have to have enough intelligence, humility and resilience to overcome the pain of cognitive dissidence caused by learning the foundation of everything they know and love is not just wrong, its controlled by evil on the highest levels. None of your friends who are pro Kamala (or anti-Trump) are willing, probably, to believe heinous crimes against humanity have been committed to enslave the world. It's much easier to call you names (like conspiracy theorist) or plug their ears and go "lalalala i cant hear you" than it is to accept that our government is helping facilitate the human trafficking of children for the cruelest of possible reasons.
People who are stuck in the propaganda loop and cant overcome it, they dont need education nor do they need to come to the light. They're too far along in their life journey. They need compassion and mercy, and if they're uncivil and turn into an animal when discussing anything of importance, then they need space to be alone and the respect you would give a cornered, injured animal, as they have been turned into animals by the system (The book of Pinocchio about the wood puppet boy goes into that on the island where all the kids turn into donkeys). In my opinion, this is the only way i can think of to give people "lost in the blight" a chance to come to the light. Nothing will catch them more off guard than love and compassion, and it will make them more likely to change their position, if they dont think they will be ostracized for being so wrong for so long.
I feel like Humility is the key! What you wrote just clicked that you have to be able to admit that you’re not as bright or perceptive or in control as you think!!! That’s the problem!!! These are all educated (whatever that really is or designates) and therefore they believe they are pretty smart. They’re reasonably successful so people believe in them so they can’t admit that they were fools. We were all fools once. Wow I really think this is what binds these people to the lies even when the truth has been exposed again and again! Thank you! This has bothered me for years!
