To what degree? How many people believe January 6th was an “insurrection”? I consider trump entertainment and I’m not American, but that is clear as day nonsense, which most people I speak to seem to believe. Most people also believe climate change is a real problem, CO2 is a threat, and vaccines are safe and effective. Wouldn’t you agree?
What you get is the impression that it’s a minority, and I believe it’s a manufactured impression. FE is larger than you think. Go look up polls and stats, it’s growing and ranges from 10% to 35% of people depending where you look. It’s just most don’t mention it in polite company for fear of ridicule.
In the same way when I tell people vaccines are untested for safety, they have the same visceral reaction, yet they will never go look it up for themselves. It really is how I ended up here.
Instead of guessing why people would lie or trying to figure out how these things work at scale (indoctrination, repetitive propaganda from a young age, keeping people addicted to their TVs and trusting the so called experts, along with compartmentalised systems and largely bought off politicians world wide which made things like a global lockdown possible), its a lot easier to make sense of consistency in claims of observable science and things they claim “we know”.
If you ever find answers to any of those 6 questions alone, let me know. People will suggest “it doesn’t matter”, but if Im supposed to believe such insane claims, the only way is with good evidence, which I don’t believe they have. Instead we have fringe, twist ourselves in a knots experiments to prove imaginary forces with incredibly inconsistent and broken theories and logical issues that most people have never taken the time to consider, so it short circuits their brains.
"Most people" My neighbor's beliefs, and he has no first hand knowledge about the climate but has beliefs about it, rightly do not update my Bayesian math very much.
It's not surprising to me that x % believe anything. Truth is difficult to ascertain. So I 100% agree that most people see indoctrinated. Nearly everyone is working from someone else's first hand data. Most people just believe what other people believe. Some people just believe the opposite of what everyone believes.
I'm still curious if Snowden is a violation of your world view or expected as he is in mine.
And haha this is lame I know and I’m sorry idk what my problem is but my perception has been that when I opened those links they were not giving a list of questions. But maybe it was the continuing long period of time after the timestamp? Haha I'm falling.
