dont be disappointed. adjust your expectations. Most ppl are most times mostly just repeaters. society wouldnt work otherwise. History shows that this is the norm. People say things to fit their social and psychological needs at the time. They dont usually really mean it even if they think they do at the time. When the next bit of programming / instinct / impulses come along there will be a new thing. New state doesnt have to agree with the old one. Can be total opposite since the core function of the repeater is to repeat and to defend the repeater network.
Makes them predictable but also means is futile / unkind to argue with a repeater. They are enthralled. They will attack you en masse if you mess with repeater protocols.
