We also need to keep in mind that the extreme (and fake) headlines are there to sway peoples opinions.
The news making these quacks seem like the main-stream (and normal) people is not a good thing.
Excellent point.
And stupid people don't automatically fall into the 'whackadoodle' category. There are some very stupid, content people out there who simply aren't triggered by much of anything. Hence, my comment about laziness. And/or the fact that a lot of people just DGAF.
If you watch the news or participate in hivemind activities - you will very likely always be triggered. The news is a product and it's primary output falls into two categories: outrage and fear mongering. Watch any news item anymore, or read the headlines on videos - they are all generally labelled/designed to provoke one of those responses. Go test it out. Seriously. It's quite obvious when you check it out. Of coutrse there are exceptions, but they news is has to be extreme to get clicks, but also, it's where the propoganda lies. Covid? Fear mongering. Look back - they got it ALL wrong - was it intentional or on purpose. Trump? Outrage. Now, imagine then toll on the human mind while being force fed fear and outrage for weeks, months, years. It's literally like a disease in what it does to you. Too bad not enough people have figured it out - but more and more are.
fear and outrage - it's what they are peddling. There are tangible costs to the human population for people that consume this poison - the more they consume - they end up like this dunce, they end up at "No Kings" protests, or any protests. Stop consuming the poison and it all becomes clear. The dude that runs ICE was given awards under Obama - doing the exact same job under Trump it's somehow "Nazis and concentration camps."
People actually fall for this shit. The good news is more and more and more people are waking up - but is it too late to save this country? COmbining our military with Israels is the biggest mistake of all time and, sadly, is probably the last straw for us. It will always be war going forward.
