When you add televised propaganda, obedience and thought training in school, socially engineered manipulation (psychological operations), and various institutions that I needn’t name, working to ‘change’ society into their image. It is little wonder that society is despondent, apathetic, docile, and indifferent. Faced with cognitive dissonance, it is quite common to brush off information that contradicts our manufactured narrative we think is our own. Our irrational and simple minds are vulnerable to the fallacious rhetoric of our demagogues. Ideologues like Krugman et al are given special status in the media.
We are easy to manipulate. The intelligentsia need to take their balls in hand, throw off their fear of ostracism, character assassination, employment termination, throw off their partisan shackles, and get in the fight. These are the people that obviously need to be silenced, intimidated, and shackled (D’Souza). They can offer alternatives that threaten the manufactured narrative. The dumb majority are suggestible and easily managed. The authoritarians and other well meaning people are consenting to forced vaccinations. The propagandized environmentalists are almost as thoughtless. It’s about collectivism. We are marching toward a global totalitarian dictatorship, where faceless supranational bureaucrats manage their respective populations as they see fit. Sounds great. Sign me up.
