Sadly many people are stupid fucking cattle. So stupid in fact that even when they are faced with the worst of it all, most of them will still be oblivious to just how fucked they truly are.

People aren't dumb, they just believe whatever is expedient at the time.

Many people just like sitting at home, doing nothing, avoiding stress and people. They got given a great excuse to do that.

I agree. I think this is very educational. When faced with a horrible worldwide disease, many people are unable or unwilling to face this fact. They argue the the facts they can see with their own eyes are simply not true, the cannot be true, they must not be true.

Would you say the 'elite' are right about the 90-99%?

Is it not that bad, or would you rather not give them any credit?

Sadly, yes they are right in a sense, but I don't think the masses deserve to die solely for being sheeple. I guess it's a Darwinian fate for those who make bad choices.

Realistically, most of the masses are not even qualified or capable of choosing where they fit into the societal hierarchy. That perspective is not exactly the optimal route to a life of blissful happiness. Actual reality is pretty Darwinian.

Let's not forget TPTB manipulated education globally for decades. Declining test scores year over year.

Forced both parents to work.

Children now raised in daycares.

Relocated the best and brightest away from their families and home towns through corporate career advancements, etc..

The public has been under corporate assault from a one-sided war for over a century.

This is victim blaming, (it was done to us) and it is possible to correct.
Although many in the public will fight to keep on their comfy chains.

I'm not confident that people who've tolerated all of this will suddenly become entirely different people, but I'd like to be surprised.

but I'd like to be surprised.

I'm choosing "optimism of the heart".

"Pesimissm of the mind" was chosen for me by the aggressive mask wearing morons.
