Kind of reminds me of New Age believers waiting for their Aquarius Age. There are differences, but the very basic idea is quite similar. Namely, that there is some chosen in-group that will get special treatment and will end up in The Good Place if they follow some particular doctrine and do the right things this doctrine is telling them to do. For christians it's belief and prayer. For newagers it's positive vibrations, celestial consciousness and other similar stuff.
Reality, of course, is that everyone will get buttfucked if TPTB gets away with what they're planning for us. What actually could help would be to stop waiting for some kind of saviour, realize the actual situation we're in and to plan ahead accordingly. Prepping, withdrawal from the system as much as possible, organizing local communities with like-minded people... Those kinds of things...
Not only nazis - communists had a similar operation as well. Operation Trust. It was almost literally the same thing. As if secret agents working in secret to bring down communist regime, while in reality it was the other way around.
Just sit tight and trust. Everything will be a-ok. Any day now. Just two more weeks.
My God, people are gullible!
Yes, being right is a hell of a motivator and for some admitting mistakes or being wrong is almost impossible thing to do.
Also, I think it might be connected with my original post. Namely, that this is a question of blind trust vs critical thinking. Seems to me those Q folks operate mostly on trust and belief. It's just that they trust different authorities than mainstream normies, but the very mode of thinking is not that different. Normies trust and believe in mainstream media while Q folks believe in Q drops and their interpretation.
Or in other words, being on this side of the fence does not necessarily mean critical thinking is involved. Sometimes it's just a belief in different authorities than those on the mainstream.
My worldview also has changed dramatically over the last few years. Just as you say, almost my entire way of seeing the world has crumbled to dust and now I'm in a process of stitching together a new one. Is that easy or comfortable? Of course not! But I can't continue to live in illusions and pretend like nothing has happened either.
Ah yes, backwards reasoning. I've seen that a lot. To be honest though it's not limited only to normies, a lot of non-normie people do that as well. Especially Q types of people. Absolutely no matter what happens in the World it will all be twisted and turned over and backwards in order to fit already fixed conclusion that good guys, white hats or whatever are in control and we should all just trust the plan, which is going along well. Just two more weeks, guys!
Those are some good points. Especially about normies of past being normal not because they've arrived at it themselves, but simply because they were told to behave normal.
One way of looking at it is that they've kind of outsourced most of their critical reasoning to some other entity and as soon as some other information arrives their subconscious gets its defenses up in no time. Actual reality or truth does not matter that much anymore. What matters, however, is whether that new information contradicts and/or threatens outsourced one. That's why ridiculous stories about Dobby are ok and even welcomed, while serious information about real life issues is a big no-no.
I do not really see what's the conspiracy here. Stupid people are everywhere - that's not a surprise nor a secret.
On a lighter note, under his name it reads: a bit more than a dummy. I think Kiril might have overrated himself a bit.
So basically some part of population as literal unconscious NPCs. Hmm, could be... I'll check out that link you provided.
Still, I find it quite hard to comprehend the possibility that they simply can't. After all many of them are nice people overall, intelligent, with good sense of humour etc. It's only when the question of defying authority arises they kind of lock up. Almost like they have some red line in their minds that is simply not to be crossed no matter what.
If so, then that's probably the reason why they don't look into things. Perhaps unconsciously deep down they know that if they do look closer, that inevitably will lead to questioning authority and their established beliefs. In other words: uncosciously they know that at least some of the conspiracies are true. They simply can't bring themselves to accept that.
Yes, blind trust in authority and not looking closely into anything seems to be their default mode of reasoning. Or in other words: it's not that they can't, it's that they simply won't look closer into things. They have been conditioned to trust and that's what they're doing even while staring right into the face of completely contradictory information.
You are right as well. Laziness, cowardice and seeking personal gain are all involved. I don't think all of them are making conscious choice though. Some - maybe, but probably not all of them.
It's not only about larger conspiracies and lies - they believe various stupid and obviously false trivia as well. It's like one day they read that drinking too much cofee is bad and they tell it to everyone. Week later they read that coffee is good for you and they parrot that as well. No critical thinking or pausing to reflect involved. They simply believe any information that comes from their designated source of authority. Blind trust and not looking into anything is their default mode of reasoning.
Yes, and I've been noticing it plays quite nicely into the Q crowd as well.
Don't worry. White Hats control everything. All the polititians are replaced clones. Real ones have been arrested and executed long ago. Just enjoy the show and trust the plan! Everything is under control. Yada, yada...
Damn, I've been literally told that Gaza is being cleaned up by White Hats (who control everything, obviously)! Something, something about tunnels, trusting the plan, being in control and such...
Shit people believe these days is absolutely crazy!
The main question no one of those believers have properly answered, though, is this one: If literally everything is fake and staged, then what is the point of it all? Why go to such insane lengths to fake absolutely everything if the good guys are already in control?
Well, some social mobility does exist, but it is much (much) smaller than you might think. Absolute majority of people will die in the same class they were born.
Also, that is not quite what I meant. What I meant was that all (or almost all) persons of any influence are there deliberately, because of their class and approval from above. There are no self-made celebrities. There are no self-made influentical politicians. There are no self-made multi-bilionaires.
Sure, you could manage to become a moderately successful music producer (for example), and you could even manage to make a moderate living out of it. But you will never ever become an A list celebrity if you're not from the Families and if you're not vetted and approved by them.
Another bit to consider: All presidents of the US are related, including Obama and Trump. They are all relatives. This is not a secret. My point was that the same extends to celebrities, business figures, all other politicians and generally to everyone of considerable influence.
It's astonishing how normies are still maintaining that there is no conspiracy. This right here is a conspiracy in plain sight. Openly admitted. Everyone has to conspire with us. Every government, every large corporation. What is not to understand here?
If Xi and Putin were good goyim, they wouldn’t be trying to sell us on another world war, would they?
Or they both are in on it... I'm still torn on this one. Are they really enemies or is this all just a theater to push for globalist agenda and steal some money along the way?
The longer this shit drags on, the more it seems that they're trying to create just what Orwell predicted: Permanent war in order to divide people, create constant fear and hate, drive the war economy, along with extreme reduction of living standards, ever increasing control over the masses and ever increasing power of government.
It's actually quite shocking how extreme hate propaganda has become in Eastern Europe. Referring back to Orwell, they've almost literally created a Goldstein figure and daily two minutes of hate is essentially a thing. Open expression of hate towards Russians is not only tolerated, but even promoted on an official level. Now they're also reinstating conscription. The general direction of it all is so fucking obvious I can't even...
Oh, yes, attention span is a big part ot it. To make it as short as possible is also one of the goals of this constant flood of information.
Of course some people will be more inclined to think deeply and some others won't. The point is that it's the general direction what matters. Currently general direction is to think as little as possible up to the point where all your critical thinking is essentially outsourced to someone else. Sure, some people will resist it (like us), but most won't and that's the real purpose of it all.
Yep, I too am kind of a know everything a bit guy (except that impalement thing of yours) and I too prefer to find information on my own.
Also, one other thing I didn't mention in OP is energy consumption. In addition to fucking up our brains, this information overload consumes enormous amounts of energy. Consider all that gigantic amount of energy poured into endless screaming contests and repeating the same things over and over again on a daily basis. Imagine what could be achieved if not for this waste of energy.
Basically, fruitless non-stop consumption and generation of information is just as they want it to be. Masses are too exhausted and brain fog from constant info buzz is too heavy for any meaningful change to happen.
This is a very good find indeed. Didn't know about that.
Yeah, I hate those tickers as well. There's really no other purpose for them except to distract and prevent occurence any clear thought. As soon as you start concentrating on some topic there's an immediate distraction in a form of a ticker. And then there's adverts and various other unrelated bits of information all thrown at you in a haphazard manner.
Lately I've started to ask people I visit to kindly switch off TV when I'm there. Or at the very least, to avoid that thing they call the news.
I agree. Internet used to be this wast place where you could find all sorts of interesting and unexpected stuff. To some extent it's all still there, but now you have to really want to find it, you have to have some determination. Back then all this stuf was easily findable on the surface. Now, however, simply searching for something will give you nothing but big mainstream sources and AI generated lists.
I think it's a bot.
