Reinstate the Smith-Mundt Act and maybe those numbers will change. We also need change in the education system because all it produces now is useful idiots.
To understand the psychology of the 80% followers, we have the Milgram Experiment and some other experiments that were done a few decades ago.
A simple one was the Asch Conformity Experiment, which demonstrated that most people are followers, not leaders. Most will not verbalize an opinion that varies from the "norm" if they think there will be a social backlash against them. They might secretely think something that is not in conformity, but they don't have the integrity to actually SAY it in public.
These explain a lot of what we saw during the Covid scam, as well as those who are obedient to their TV box and what "muh gubmint authoritay" says.
Also of note is the Stanford Prison Experiment. This demonstrated how "guards" (they were really students playing a role) can become psychopathic and drunk with power. Although both the "guards" and "prisoners" were students playing a role in the experiment, the guards became abusive and the prisoners began to believe they had no power to just walk out (it was role playing, after all):
And less than half of the remaining 20% have the intelligence needed to break down problems into their parts, see nuance, identify self-bias, and ability to see things from alternate POVs.
But you just try to convince someone who's in the 80% that they're not exercising critical thinking as they think are!
I would wager a high percentage of the 20% are Jesus believers. Believing we are made in the image of God, that He lives with us spiritually, and that He died to save our souls, creates a constant state of introspection through our communion with Him. Thus giving believers an awareness to constantly look for truth and correct themselves out of thankfulness and gratitude. God = Truth. To love God is to love truth.
IMO, If you claim to be a Christian but still fall for the psyops of this world then the world has you more than you have Christ.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. --Romans 12:2
Recently I needed to bone up on understanding my horse's hooves.
The best book on the subject is by a woman I know from Facebook. She is highly emotional and vocal Trump hater, totally out of her mind.
I couldn't buy the book.
I started thinking "that's silly." But then thought, no not at all. Obviously she has no critical thinking ability. So I couldn't take the hoof book as credible, even though it is highly acclaimed.
Interesting query regarding hooves.....I have a friend in VT who learned hoof trimming some years ago and was VERY good at it. The farriers were very hostile to this new way of encouraging soundness. She studied under a few very knowledgeable people and actually had information "downloaded" that was not otherwise known. My friend is a principled woman of God who loves President Trump.
If you have not researched highly sensitive do so. Ignore the crunchy granola garbage. This is a pattern in nature as well as humanity. Veterinarians Nuerologist and Psychologist all noticed a 20% difference in brain patterns. There is an effort to minimize the potential of the neurodivergent because they can’t stand the idea of losing control. This brain pattern is also highly resistant to propaganda and group think.
Apparently. Turns out 20% of the population both human and animal are literally wired differently. Brain scans show that different portions light up than “normal “ also sometimes it is a matter of the eyes with hypnosis of the visual type some people have extra cones and can see different wavelengths and they are harder to hypnotize.
yes^ thanks for posting this. I had the 80/20 stuck in my mind, couldn't remember where I got the idea. mystery solved;) And this explains So much! I think Q is showing us that we can't save everyone, some just aren't built that way.
I was around 8 to 10 years old when I found a book of Aesop's fables while visiting my grandparents. Even at that age I was FURIOUS at the townspeople in the story of the Emperor's New Cloths. I think I was angrier and more disappointed in them than I was in the Emperor's enforcers.
don't mind me, i'm just commenting to save the comment "Psychologist Stanley Milgram Found that 80 percent of the population do not have the psychological or moral resources to defy an authority's order, no matter how illegitimate the order is. Therefore, only 20 percent have critical thinking capacity. This explains quite a lot!"
I think most people have the capability to defy orders from authority when it's a sudden and extreme order. But these evil people don't do that right out of the gate. They just move in tiny steps, where even if you don't agree, it's so tiny of a disagreement that you just do it. And then it goes farther and farther until you find yourself doing things you never would have if it was the first order.
I'd think the percentage of people that can stand up to that tactic are even less. Being disagreeable is not always a bad trait.
Absolutely correct, the milgram experiment did exactly that - tiny steps of increasing voltage. The subjects were uncomfortable and reluctantly agreed to the order, rather than outright reject it. If the order was 1000 volts from the start, then the non-evil subjects will most likely reject it.
Whereas with COVID, the vaccine mandates happened way too quickly - less than 1 year after the pandemic as opposed to the original 10 years. You need a card to do anything??? Too sudden, too extreme like you said. Still, many accepted to take the vaccine for various reasons.
Hence Operation "Warpspeed"(?) to force the DS/cabal/globalists to accelerate the tyranny rather than slowly ramping it up over 10 (long) years of lockdowns; sickness; death; and moral, social and economic decay as was (alledgedly) the planned timeline, so "those who had eyes to see" couldn't help but see it, call it out, reject it and aggressively work to stop it.
Back in the 1980s I was shopping in a local mom-n-pop record store and they had that typical wall of rock t-shirts that you could purchase. One shirt in particular stood out… it actually stopped me in my tracks. It had an illustration of a television with the words that said KILL YOUR TV. I vividly remember my teenage-self thinking out loud “why would you want to do that?” But in that moment something clicked. And till this day I have never stopped thinking about that simple black and white t-shirt on the wall of one hundred other t-shirts.
I don’t remember if that shirt was associated with a certain band or if it was just a counter-culture slogan that the owners of the store liked to sell. I was into the LA and OC punk rock scene at the time so it fit with my current ethos of F-the establishment. Ironic how modern day punk rock is a bunch of pussies who kowtow to the establishment that we were railing against way back when. Believe it or not I was a born and raised conservative who had to keep my mouth shut amongst my friends. Even tho at the time I agreed with *almost everything the scene stood for (minus their stance on abortion). Here we are today and the MAGA movement is more punk rock than the scene I was a part of 30 years ago.
I adopted the KILL YOUR TV as my mantra from that day forward and months later George H. W. Bush would give his famous “Thousand points of light” and “New World Order” speeches leading up to and during his presidency. One that I voted for… but would always associate “Kill your TV” with.
We talk about 1871, but it was also clearly fragile before that to have the CW kick off.
It occurred to me yesterday, maybe one huge reason for the seeming downgrade in style between 1790 and 1860 was because there had been a shrinking in wealth while trying to recover from kicking out the central bank?
The issue with the Art. of Confederation c.q. Constitution is, that it requires, as Washington noticed in his farewell address a rigorous adherence to love for freedom and virtue and externally, a shying away from special relationships.
The mess we are in is in that address perfectly described.
What then is the basis for a better functioning republic? a well informed engaged public. Which requires: free thought!
Free thought is inhibited by a system of debt-money. However, when looking at history, you will notice that money is being undercut by trade-banking concentrated in foreign locations as in City of London, Frankfurt, etc.
A President that understands these dynamics, is capable to navigate this landscape, cutting off the influences that undermine the better functioning republic.
We are no there yet. We still have to solve 18-36 Trillion dollars, depending on how this debt is defined. Afterall, being indebted to the FED, is simply a matter of repatriating dollars to the FED. .....
Got this from someone after they plugged this info into AI, found interesting.
Maybe there’s also a tie between these things and general scarcity/abundance and in a population’s area over time.
Yes, there are several biological and evolutionary traits that can explain why humans tend to follow the herd or go along with the crowd:
Social Conformity:
———
Evolutionary Advantage: Humans, like many social animals, have evolved to live in groups for survival benefits such as protection from predators, sharing resources, and mutual assistance. Going along with the group reduces the risk of isolation, which historically could mean vulnerability to threats or exclusion from necessary social support networks.
Mirror Neurons: These neurons in the brain fire both when an individual acts and when they observe the same action performed by another. This mechanism might facilitate mimicry and learning behaviors, leading to conformity.
Fear of Ostracism:
Social Pain: Neuroscientific studies have shown that social rejection activates the same areas of the brain that respond to physical pain, suggesting that avoiding social exclusion is a strong motivator for conforming behavior.
Cognitive Ease:
Heuristics: Following the crowd can be a cognitive shortcut; if many people are doing something, it might be perceived as the correct or safe choice, reducing the mental effort needed to make decisions in complex environments.
Information Cascade
———
Group Knowledge: When individuals see others making choices, they might infer that those individuals have better or more information. This can lead to an information cascade where people follow the behavior of others, even if their private information suggests otherwise.
Peer Pressure and Social Identity:
Identity and Belonging: People often conform to gain acceptance or to strengthen their sense of belonging to a group, which is crucial for identity formation and self-esteem.
Neurobiology of Decision Making:
———
Dopamine and Reward Systems: There's evidence suggesting that being part of a group can be rewarding on a neurochemical level, with dopamine release associated with social inclusion and positive group interactions.
Cultural Evolution:
———
Cultural Transmission: Human culture evolves through social learning, where individuals learn behaviors, norms, and values by observing and copying others. This cultural conformity helps maintain social order and coherence within groups.
These traits aren't about blindly following the herd but are mechanisms that have evolved to balance individual needs with the benefits of group living. However, in modern contexts, these same mechanisms can lead to negative outcomes like groupthink, where conformity can stifle innovation or lead to poor decision-making.
Understanding these traits helps in acknowledging both the benefits and the potential pitfalls of herd behavior in human society.
An even smaller percentage are leaders. The Japanese in WWII used to weed out any of the prisoners that showed any sign of leadership. The rest were as docile as sheep.
If they’re black, it’s because they’re trained to stand up to authority if a white person is in authority. I had to deal with this in the public schools. If this not the case then it’s just people that don’t want to be held accountable.
Certainly to some degree there is truth to this but there is many a weak flower wishing to fall back on such claims as a crutch that excuses them... As the Nuremburg trials showed we give them a inch and we pay hell like recent years have re-confirmed.
This is the only positive and daresay, amusing thing about the C19 Plandemic. As we hold our breath and wait to see the long-term impact of The Jab, I find a bit of comfort that the monstrous fools that implemented the plan allowed the most critical-thinking, ornery MF'ers to be unaffected by their poison. We are un-rulable.
Reinstate the Smith-Mundt Act and maybe those numbers will change. We also need change in the education system because all it produces now is useful idiots.
Not so "useful"... just idiots.
Not just idiots, useless eaters, as dictated by the WEF through our illustrious Dept of Education.

Here is a documentary on the Milgram Experiments (1962). It was to test how obedient people can be to authority:

Lots of TV shows highlight this too. Kill the smart ones, leave the dumb ones.
Is this why some people can't be hypnotized nor see those stupid Magic Eye scrambled pictures?
Asking for a Fren.😉
I can't be hypnotized. Tried for pain MGMT.
Apparently. Turns out 20% of the population both human and animal are literally wired differently. Brain scans show that different portions light up than “normal “ also sometimes it is a matter of the eyes with hypnosis of the visual type some people have extra cones and can see different wavelengths and they are harder to hypnotize.

And that's why it's so fucking important to have the critical thinkers, the 20% to be the ones leading.
Things like DEI were specifically meant to throw that balance off
I was around 8 to 10 years old when I found a book of Aesop's fables while visiting my grandparents. Even at that age I was FURIOUS at the townspeople in the story of the Emperor's New Cloths. I think I was angrier and more disappointed in them than I was in the Emperor's enforcers.
That's the genesis of my username.
Edit - and that was over 50 years ago.

And remember that one guy who was extremely distressed about applying the shock but was bullied into it
They're basically exploiting the sunken cost fallacy with people's morality.

Boy what I would learn over the next 30 years.
The underlying issue is that this experiment has been done in the 50-ties. The love of freedom and virtue had already been eroded, despite the optics.
This issue lies at the heart of everything, and we have it seen played out in 2020 with Covid and the measures/ mandates.
We talk about 1871, but it was also clearly fragile before that to have the CW kick off.

Wouldn’t that be … basically a blip of DEflationary pressure to do so?
What would be the fallout from that?
I guess it is.
A grand party of deflationary pressure. It causes a new realignment of state interests around the world.
Many times I feel like I'm part of the 'black sheep' crowd or considered 'rebellious' because I dare to question what I see and hear.
I'm honored to be among those of you who would have said "no" to shocking their fellow humans.
Love all you deplorable 20 percenters!!! Sup?

I guess most of us are 20 percent erst. Meed a shirt and hat that says, 20%er.
Idk if I believe this. Every time I watch cops or random videos of body cams, I see nothing but people defying authorities order.
If they’re black, it’s because they’re trained to stand up to authority if a white person is in authority. I had to deal with this in the public schools. If this not the case then it’s just people that don’t want to be held accountable.

But I HAD breakfast this morning!!!
Covid was fucking eye-opening. Jesus
I mean....look at what happened & how SO many people acted / reacted during the pLandemic....
We're literally one newscast away from 1930's Germany.....not exaggerating in the slightest.
