I do remember the panic over Satanism that never existed and was never happening. And I’ve seen an increase in mass shootings that seems roughly in line with the increase in toxic male role models. I’ve not seen any particular increase in racism, in fact I’d say that’s dropping as more people recognize that race isn’t actually a thing. And the whites are roughly as extreme as ever, especially the ones that believe too literally in concepts like good and evil.
Bannon is an idiot. Trump is a greater idiot. People who were easily manipulated in exactly the same way using precisely the same playbook as in the 1920s and 30s (and, indeed, as in every prior century) voted for idiots at the behest of idiots because they’re idiots. No power (or Power) involved, and no voices either, just confirmation bias and assholes willing to leverage it to get into office.
As for that other stuff, a fine example how your brain which knows nothing is representative of public knowledge. I don’t care what idiots vote for. I’m talking about lawlessness and the threat to our public trust.
You’re distrusting of public knowledge, and yet you accept as factual a police training video from the 90s? You’re worried about public credulity while simultaneously engaging in it?
I’m commenting because cognitive dissonance is precisely what is being resolved when someone thinks of others as mind-controlled sheep and themselves as not amongst either the mind-controlled or the sheep.
Lawlessness is the natural state of humanity… the only laws the public should trust are those of physics, but to do that they’d need to be sufficiently intelligent to discover and recognize those laws.
I am commenting because I am not a member of a species that is yet that intelligent. And neither, clearly, are you.
