They like to make us think we are marginalized, but in my experience the people I talk to (when I do bother to strike up conversations) are almost always either open to or already into conspiracy research.
I have to wonder about selection bias though. Am I just talking to people I vibe with already? It stands to reason I'm not seeking out the blue haired climate change activist to make friends with.
But even for instance, when I meet someone randomly in the visa line as a tourist, I start talking to someone and they are rarely your typical San Fran covid nazi. They are like "yeah there is some evil people controlling this world, I think they did this shit on purpose, etc". Seems like a lot of people get it overall.
Although I had one experience in Mexico where my entire group were entirely libtards going out together (like 7 or 8 of us). Could just have been bad luck since it was right after the vax roll out and people were traveling again. But generally speaking, guys or girls, few were total anti-conspiracy karens.
EDIT: Another possibility: it is the Lord's blessing keeping me away from those people.
The tide is definitely turning in general “conspiracy” awareness and people being open to discussing those topics more than in the past (like white replacement “theory”), but the majority of people are still the walking dead. I think once boomers die off en masse, the majority of people will be awake.
I also seem to meet a lot of people that see through some to most of the nonsense, even had others bring up weird weather and haarp, nearly applauded!
I don't think White Boomers like to discuss conspiracy theories.
I think the people that can and want to socialize are the people who are open to reality.
The people that want a specific narrative despite reality tend to hide in their echo chambers and cubicle apartments.
The majority of the sheeple are not able to handle reality because they worship wicked crypto-Jewish kabbalists.
I think it's correlated with intelligence and then if you're also such and prefer such then it might create the sample bias you mention
I think the coronacircus guy once nailed it when wrote: It's not what people know, it's what people think other people know!
They keep everyone in check by making us believe the majority all adhere or believe certain things.
I've certainly had experiences with random people where they're keen on what's going on. However, I do think most people are just NPCs and could care less about what goes on so long as they can feed themselves and their families (a noble cause, but not good for future generations)
The sheer irony when you're directly challenging me for exposing the greatest conspiracy that ever walked the face of the earth. Your name checks out at least.
