This is the real problem. So many normies are just completely blind.

Many years ago I spent hours digging through a bunch of horrible quality audio files on some archival website that had many interviews with actual former slaves. The overwhelming consensus among interviewees was "they didn't treat us too bad." Slavery is not the cartoon we are taught.

Human farming is a mind game. Human livestock won't work or breed well if they believe they are trapped. People generally have to believe they are free & benefiting somehow from any arrangement. But some are stupid enough to demand more taxation in the name of "free housing" or "free healthcare" because they unconsciously want, or have been programmed to be, good livestock.

Excellent point Jeff

I’ve been pointing out to people lately that the Hollywood brutal slave master is not the guy who upheld the institution of slavery. It was the thousands of others who insisted “we treat our negroes almost like family”. Those people genuinely thought they were the good guys.

And it is exactly the same today with the coastal liberals who take for granted black votes in the Democratic Party but then change their entire demeanor when they are actually in the presence of a black person because they are so deeply uncomfortable

The amazing thing is also that you can show people the solution (ie bitcoin) and they will still strongly defend current systems that slowly but surely disadvantage them further.

While humans are extremely flexible and adaptable, we tend to love patterns and not look for the signal outside of the pattern.

Some even get it and see the flaws but don't want to be uncomfortable.

I’d like to listen to that!

At this point I honestly have no idea where to even begin looking again. Though I think they may have actually been on a government website...?

I remember listening to the fuzz & feeling a bit like I was looking for a glimpse of boobs on an unpurchased & scrambed cinemax channel. And I really kinda remember thinking it had mostly been a waste of time, aside from the conclusion that many of them really didn't believe they were ever all that mistreated.
