I'm constantly trying to convince somebody, usually a family member, that they need to turn off the television completely, especially the "news", and that it's only there specifically to brainwash them and manufacture consent in their minds.
This process is frustrating and seemingly futile, especially if they are over 40 years old. It's like trying to convince somebody that they are addicted to drugs; they are 100% sure that you are wrong, and they are also 100% sure that they are in control of the experience. It is endlessly frustrating.
Without being able to convince somebody to stop watching "news" it's impossible to ever convince them that they are being scammed continuously, e.g., pertaining COVID-19, etc. You could send them a fucking video of the entire government eating orphaned babies and then laughing while chanting "we want to kill everybody with poisonous vaccines and we worship Satan", and all it would take is one hour of television "news" to reset them back to their normal state.
Trannies make up 1/10 of 1% of the population. In my years I've come across maybe ~5 that I could clock and knew immediately. That's it. If you turn off Fox news, the "tranny problem" magically disappears. It's true.
While this is true, there are laws and new rules and cultural norms being currently fought around the identity of trannies, so the trannie problem doesn't just disappear if you stop consuming the news surrounding them, nor does it become any less of a problem to society at large.
I think it's more like, if all the folks turned their TVs off, these things wouldn't be able to happen to begin with.
