By "normie" I mean someone who maybe questions the 2020 election, or that thinks something fishy happened with JFK, but is not ready to accept the uncomfortable fact that democracy is an illusion and that global elites (sometimes together, sometimes in competition with each other) are trying to steer events, even if they sometimes fail, and even (yes it happens) the good guys win.
And don't say moon landing, flat earth, or 9/11 was a controlled demo...because those won't work.
I think the best one is the "military-industrial complex" which sounds like shit to a normie until you point out that Ike coined the phrase ,and framed the problem, in his farewell address.
From a "meta" perspective, for years I tried telling normies the most surprising and shocking things I knew. The plan was to jolt them out of their stupor. Even if they vehemently disagreed, I would at least capture their attention and they would surely challenge me to back up my outrageous claims.
Never worked. Not even once. Not even close.
Anything milder, where their defenses would not go up, they simply had no interest in: it was irrelevant to them, the past, confusing, unimportant and uninteresting.
I have concluded that metaphorically speaking each of us lives in a reality of our own choosing. Even if we don;t like everything about it, it's comfortable because we know what's in it, and there we'll stay. We fear, resist and attack those who seek to disturb us from it.
Only a few tiny fraction ever claw at the walls trying to find out what's really going on.
