General consensus is that normies are naive, brainwashed, believe everything the news tells them etc, etc... But is that really so? Maybe they are not as dumb as we think they are? Maybe most of them know it's a lie, they just choose to go along with the narrative?
Sure, there always will be some who are genuinely duped, but I'm not sure it's the majority. Like, when covid was going on, I met a lot of normies who publicly went along with the narrative, but privately it was obvious that they are not afraid of the scary virus at all. They didn't admit it out loud (even privately), but their actions were telling that (at least on some level) they know it's bullshit.
I find this thought a quite dark and depressing one. That would mean most of the people are happy to accept a lie and live with it just because it offers them some sort of benefit or simply because it's easier that way. Maybe this is why getting the truth out is not as effective as we'd like it to be. Also, that would mean mass awakening is probably not forthcoming, because there's nothing to awake from. Normies for the most part are already awake. They just don't care.
Haha, yes, this thread is starting to get out of hand a bit.
It's a very interesting thought about this backwards reasoning. Instead of honest evaluation and reaching honest conclusion, normie mind starts with the assumption "I'm a good person" and then goes through simple programmed motions "obey authority, listen to the experts" in order to justify it.
Other interesting thing to observe and which I've had first hand experience with is that some normies seem to trade obedience with morality. I won't go into details, but one of the most ardent covid cult follower I happen to have acquaintance with is also quite immoral in their personal life. So, it seems that at least some normies feel to have already justified by their obedience to authority and no longer feel the obligation for moral actions in their personal life.
I'm afraid I don't quite share your optimism regarding Trump though... Not to bash him or anything, but it seems he's also just a part of the establishment. Sure, decorations might change, their tactics also might change, they might even have some in-fighting going on, but I think he's one of them. Possibly always have been. There is no hope in political solution. Especially not in a person of a single man. That's all kabuki theater and psyops within psyops within psyops peppered with constant distractions in order to get public eye off the stuff that really matters.
There is a logic in what you're saying. I'm just not as optimistic as you, I guess... Also, Q is one of the most finely executed psyops in human history. I, for one, would definitely not seek truth in that direction.
