Bonhoeffer's Theory of Stupidity - 5 minute video that explains why you can't wake people up by using facts on them. Also, stupid people are worse than evil people.

🧠 These people are STUPID!
Speaking of liars, here's my other research in to this stuff. (but this Bonhoeffer video definitely capped off the whole thing)
The Big Lie - How to Enslave the World

I always wondered why the leaders lie so easily and so often. Well, totalitarianism is built on lies. It's why they censor, cancel, etc. anyone telling the truth because only a little truth will tear down their wall of lies.
This leads to massive propaganda that completely overloads the followers to the point of mental illness.

The followers have no curiosity so this makes them stupid and they just follow what their lying leaders tell them without question; because life for them is easier that way. ("useful idiots") In many cases this does cause mental anguish, but they reach a point at which they think they have a good understanding of what they need to do in order to be comfortable again. (though it is twisted and wrong)
MASS PSYCHOSIS - How an Entire Population Becomes MENTALLY ILL

(This is a timestamped link that talks about "psychotic insight", but one really should watch this video completely and perhaps multiple times. It starts a little slow, but quickly picks up pace.)
Why the Left think they are better | Peter Hitchens

So, why can't you break these people from the "spell" they are under? Not only do they think their ideas (given to them by the lying leaders) are better than yours, they think they're better than you (I assume because they support "the current thing").
Bonus video.
Why is the VICTIM Mindset So Attractive? - Baggage Claim
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMWo-dTNGiA
persecution complexes are rampant and I wish the people claiming persecution knew how weak and defeated it makes them sound when they are using the victim card to try and seem strong.
You’re right but we can give special consideration to the millions of decent people who really have been persecuted by the commies over the past several years.
not if they are weakly claiming themselves persecuted. True victims are evident. People looking for social cache can grow up.
