It’s different hearing it explained without using the phrase “ Brainwashed” she kept saying didn’t or don’t want to be wrong which is true. Ive just never heard an explanation without the word brainwashed not being used ! It will actually help the nuts to listen because the word brainwashed is such a trigger for them ! Man do they freak when you say it and then they hear nothing!
But honestly isn’t admitting you’re wrong hard for everyone to admit? It cuts into pride. People are waking up, we have to have hope they are not all too far gone
It gets easier as you do it, these people have probably never done it....
Heck I voted for Bush twice.
4 times for me - both daddy and Jr. Bush. Then again, look at the other candidates we had to choose from.
True the other candidates were no good.
Me too, I was so blind
Absolutely! The first few times are painful, but then it starts to feel liberating. Once you let go of the idea that you know anything for certain, you're free to be a truth seeker.
Yep, same here.
" I voted for Bush twice."
So did I, and under the same circumstances, I'd do it again.
Has everyone around here forgotten what the alternatives were?
Amazing to see how wide-eyed she is in the video. She’s literally seeing the world in the light of the truth. I remember that experience and feeling!
It is hard at first, but once you realize it is ok to be wrong it builds integrity in your character. I learned this by working in IT. If you make a mistake own it. Your boss will respect you more...
She said one key thing,she wanted to have the same opinion as everything else. In 2016 Twitter was a leftwing circle jerk.....
She can do far more to wake up people that were like her,than anyone else.
Upvoted and reposted.
Totally agree. Excellent point she made on “not invalidating their fear.” She can truly sympathize with that and then untether it.
All of us have that very human tendency, which is the desire not to be wrong. The wonderful things about the Anons is that it cool to ask for “sauce” from someone. Or we say we don’t have the full picture up front or offer a statement as a theory.
People need to shift to understanding things as “I don’t believe that I’m wrong, as this is well tested”, or “I don’t understand how this is wrong”, or “I can’t conceptualize this alternative theory”. Take the ego out and realize we are all highly regarded, and that in terms of possibilities, it’s infinitely more likely that we are wrong than right.
Learning that a held idea is wrong is an opportunity, not a punishment or affront. Do we get that idea from school? Poor discipline?
I prefer using the word hypnotized over brainwashed
A friend of mine recently managed to explain his job to his father after 30 years. The problem was that every time he would mention a computer or application, his father’s brain would completely disengage, and the whole conversation would effectively not have happened - like trying to shift a car into reverse at 60 mph. He recently managed to explain everything as if it was using paper, inkwells, and USPS, and the light finally came on.
Trigger words are a very real thing.
Yes trigger words are a real thing as u say ! Didn’t realize how much until I used the word brainwashed a few times .
