I think about this a lot; God help me.
I understand why people accept the narratives the MSM and the Establishment spoonfeed them. I do.
It is practical to do so for many reasons. First of all, there are only so many hours in the day, making it neither practical nor desirable to spend hours fact-checking everything you hear, even on important matters. Almost everything we believe, outside our direct experience, comes from sources we trust.
Have you been to the moon? How do we know that our little robots have actually landed on Mars? Does Paraguay exist? I haven't been there, after all. It could all be a hoax! But I trust that my beliefs reflect reality, because I trust the testimony of others.
Have you measured the diameter of the Earth? I haven't. I have a pretty good idea of how to do it with simple tools (the Greeks did it millennia ago), but I accept what I was taught because I have no reason not to.
More often than not, we trust these sources because others do, which again makes sense. It's not like we can investigate the background of everybody we listen to, so we look to others around us to suss out who is reliable and who isn't. Jane and Joe trust this source, so why shouldn't I?
In the same way, trusting the Establishment makes sense until you get slapped in the face with evidence that they are full of crap. After all, they are the Establishment because a sufficient number of people have allowed them to be, at least in our society. They are credentialed, elected or selected by respected people, and considered authoritative.
So that's why people tend to trust them.
What I cannot understand for the life of me is why people do not become enraged with the white-hot fury of the sun when they are confronted by the fact that they have been betrayed--utterly betrayed--by people they trusted. It is an absolute mystery to me. Everybody in America by now should have realized that the Establishment has betrayed them, and yet few people are outraged.
One of the memes you see all the time is, "You may hate the media, but you don't hate them enough."
That is absolutely correct—100%. You cannot possibly hate them enough because they betray you daily. They aren't mistaken. They aren't incompetent. All day, every day, they lie to you, knowingly and with malice. They sometimes tell the truth, but only if they like where it leads you.
Why aren't more people furious?
“The vaccine was only sold as lessening disease, not preventing transmission” 🤥

I asked this of a friend who truly believed that anybody who didn't wear a mask or get vaccinated during the pandemic should be put in a concentration camp, as was suggested many times by public figures. He also believed that such people should be denied health care because they were endangering everybody.

Now that it has been shown conclusively that masks don't work, social distancing was a scam, and that the vaccine is dangerous for many people and does nothing to prevent infection and transmission, is he angry that the MSM and public health officials conned him into becoming a fascist?

How is that possible? What moral lacuna exists in people's souls such that this is not enraging? The powers that be played you like a fiddle and manipulated you into being utterly hateful out of fear, and you shrugged?

A son moved his chair next to his mother to comfort her at the funeral of her late husband. He was told to separate. This sort of authoritarian inhumanity must never happen again.

First, I would feel shame for having been driven to such extremes; second, I would beg for forgiveness; and third, I would form a lynch mob against the people who did this. Not only did they turn me and others into monsters, but they set us loose against people who weren't taken in and were trying to help everybody by telling the truth.

There are people--more and more each day--who have woken up to what was done to them. I salute them and forgive their transgressions because they have repented. We all deserve grace. Let he who is without sin...
But there are way too few of them.
The Covid tyranny seen in Australia & around the world was unforgivable. There must be accountability.

The same is true for people taken in by the Steele Dossier. For years, people were spoonfed lies, yet aside from Trump supporters, nobody seems to care. They may have lost a bit of trust in the media, but hardly enough. Worse, they get taken in by lies perpetrated by the same people daily.
March, 2021. CNN breaks the news that the Pfizer vaccine is 100% effective in preventing infection and sickness in 12-15 year olds.🤔

Considering that Pfizer later admitted to not even testing the vaccine for stopping transmission at this point, 100% is a pretty good result. pic.twitter.com/mBMXYG4464
Many of these are basically decent people. Most of them are. Yet they still open the New York Times and nod along sagely as the paper prints casualty figures put out by Hamas, read stories written by admirers of Hitler that the paper employs, and think that they are well informed.

These are good people. Who have every reason--now, after COVID, the witchhunt against Trump, and all the other hoaxes--to know better.
Is it as simple as "It's easier to go along?" Is it really that simple?
Still the best video of the entire plandemic. Ahead of it’s time!! Still hilarious too!

The alphabet fever is breaking in Europe, although it has a long way to go here in the States and Canada, and I feel confident that the people who lied about "gender-affirming care" will not be kicked out of polite society, not jailed, and not pay a serious price for the incalculable harm they have done.
Nor will the people who bought into this and hurled expletives at those of us, like J.K. Rowling and Christopher Rufo, who tried to save the children whose lives are being destroyed. Ordinary people have been taken in by this evil hoax, lives ruined, and life will go on for most people.
They will shrug. Oh well. So it goes.
And they will buy into the next hoax.

What is wrong with people? I honestly want to know because, for the life of me, I think they should be enraged and demanding retribution, justice, something to balance the scales of life.
