Anonymous Coward User ID: 6836720 United States 06/18/2012 01:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am so tired of how utterly stupid/ignorant/unaware the average American is. It is amazing to me that people are this detatched from what is actually happening in the world. I know it is by design and that people have been programmed and brainwahed and dumbed down but for fucks sake it is so obvious. How can they still keep their heads in the sand? Quoting: smokahontas I agree, It is very exhausting seeing all of these Americans with their heads in the sand and being totally selfish. |

I have watched her put all the facts together on some issues (9/11, soft kill programs, etc...). She gets an increadible anger & rage. When the immediate emotion and adreneline rush dissipate, the 'connection' (for example vaccines cause autism) mostly goes away; It just conflicts with too many other closly held beliefs. SHe's not willing to shatter a paradigm. She's very active in positive actions - trying to avoid GMO food, no HPV vaccines for the teenagers, very limited television etc. She can say vaccines & GMO food & floride have side effects. She can not say that the side effects are on purpose to manage the size and intellect of the population. Last Edited by Lemon on 06/18/2012 02:02 PM **I'm all out of bubblegum |

Nothing major has rocked "our" world...yet. And he is smart enough to appreciate his mate's dogged conspiracy theory lunacy. Prepping for everything is my job anyway so he indulges me in all of it. I think he has some fear, some futility, and some desire to live life with normalcy. I think we acheive balance this way. Now that is just my sheep...not every sheep. LOL. Got ? LMAO. |

Someone who is a full blown sheep please reply, its an honest question. Quoting: smokahontas It's all three plus a little doublethink. I watched my GF wake up this past year, and it is the best feeling ever. The basic problem stems from the fact they cannot comprehend their caregivers could hurt them. Mom and Dad are perfect! A mother's love for her son, and all that bullshit. My mother was horribad; that's the reason I woke-up. The masses have never seen how bad parents can really be. Since they lack that concept, every group with power must mean well. Why would they be in power then? It's a fucked idea, but it's how they see the world. Another issue is there is so much to learn and do, that people get overwhelmed. "I don't care how it works, as long as it works." I like using that as a slap in the GFs face from time to time now that she's aware. Used to be her favorite statement to use. The reason why is MUCH more important then the what you are doing. The average person fails to see the difference in this distinction. A lot of people don't re-evaluate their beliefs as time goes on. If you learn a new trick to cooking, you use it don't you? Most people learn quite a bit over the years, yet their beliefs and morals are the exact same as when they were children. It's almost as if they set the idea/concept and state "No information will ever change my view!", never to re-evaluate. My idea of right and wrong as grown since I was 10; I assume most people's do. Add in an aversion to seeing bad things and you have the masses in the current state. They really don't know they are missing anything, so they don't ask those questions. Kind of like when people first get into an electric, button start car: "You have to hold the brake to start it? Makes sense and a good idea, but not something I would have thought of to ask about beforehand." Don't judge others, but use your best judgement to keep yourself safe. Best doublethink out there, IMO. |

She just can't handle the new normal. I don't much blame her. She is likely less depressed or filled with anxiety as a result. She still lives like its 1979 or earlier. No clue what her offspring really have to deal with from day to day. Its probably a good place for her to be. But DAMN! |
