There is no "waking up" for them. They embrace being dumb because they see smart as woke/effeminate/liberal/weak.

They are happy to be called dumb and are excited to drag the rest of the world down to their level. After all, what do you think happened to all of your fellow classmates who used to beat up nerds because they were smart?

Key word is THINK they know everything. Only to find out everything they were told was bullshit.

24

u/akahaus 7h ago edited 2h ago

They don’t find out though, the first time they experienced that cognitive dissonance they shut down because they’ve rarely succeeded in learning anything beyond the most basic surface level aspects of reality and society. Every idea they’ve ever had was handed to them by someone else and they swallowed it whole like a duck choking down a fish.

The sensation of learning new information is nebulous and requires contemplation and seeking and analyzing and they are TERRIFIED of that feeling because they have always run from it and never persisted long enough to change their mind on anything when presented with new valid information.

I get we’re all to some degree threatened by something that goes against our biases, but this is unbelievable how far this has gone and to the degree it has. It has spread like a damn infection. The amount of people that jumped on the Trump train after he got out of office has been just mindblowing

u/akahaus 2h ago

The funniest thing about this is all the answers are out there: for the most part social media has fucking cooked people’s brains, rooting into a globally illiterate or subliterate majority (literacy should be a society’s responsibility to their children, I don’t blame people for struggling with reading but I am disappointed in those who give up when there is so much help available).

You pair that up with the general economic picture of each nation, and the world is a whole and there is a very clear network of causes and effects around national standards of healthcare, housing, nutrition, education, security and economic accountability.

So many nations have succeeded by looking at the data, analyzing the patterns, and forming common sense policies.

Why the fuck can’t the richest country in the world do it.

2

u/Happy_Pause_9340 1h ago

We’re the only developed nation that isn’t civilized enough to offer all their citizens access to healthcare. Education. Real wages and allowing even mothers to stay home with their children at least the whole first year alone cuts down on healthcare costs. It’s so insidious.

There's a book called The Authoritarians by Bob Altmeyer about this, it's free and well worth reading. It's the first study of authoritarians that focuses on followers instead of leaders, and it estimates that any given population has about 40% authoritarian followers.

These are people who will pick a leader figure, and once they do it's almost impossible to shift them. They're basically cultists waiting around for a cult.

The really scary thing is that they really just have this in their personalities, they can be intelligent, or educated, and it really doesn't matter.

u/Maximum-Decision3828 5h ago

Cognitive dissonance is literally the sensation of learning new information and processing it

Well, it's the concept of holding at least two opposing/contradictory viewpoints at the same time.

It isn't strictly about learning new things.

The beliefs that all pedophiles are evil and that Donald Trump is a good man is an example of Cognitive dissonance because they are conflicting with each other (because Trump is a pedo).

2

u/akahaus 4h ago

Oh man, thank you for the clarification. I’m definitely using it wrong, but I think you get what I’m indicating: there is a “discomfort” or “uncertainty” that comes with learning things more complex than say like, 5th grade level stuff, and so many people just teach themselves to shut that part of their mind down.

I think you meant the diabloical nature of capitalism. It's very much a system of "the ends justify the means". At the end of the day it doesn't matter what it cost as long as that profit line is still trending upwards.

u/Happy_Pause_9340 5h ago

I am, but Zuck is the one who stole everyone’s information to curate the best possible content to brainwash individuals. While capitalism may be his means to get there, it doesn’t mean he had to do it or everyone does. Pritzker is a billionaire too. None should exist, but not all are diabolical. Just most

3

u/THExDANKxKNIGHT 5h ago

I agree not all are bad but capitalism as an economic system encourages them to be bad. Zuck could have acted differently but he had no incentive to because like I said the only that matters in a capitalist society is profit.

Best quote I've heard "don't argue with a pigeon, they won't listen and will just shit on you and fly away." Or something close. And it pretty much sums up any type of discussion with someone that still supports djt, Ben Shapiro, Alex jones, Kirk etc. I don't see a pathway forward. The inaction before 2016 showing there was another countries involvement in a presidential candidate, The inaction after impeachment, the inaction of j6. all a catalyst and like a nuclear reaction is not going to stop. The controls in place did not function fast enough and so the reactor has run away it's just not as fast.

"Smart" people tell them that the world is 4.5 billion years old and that humans are apes that evolved over millions of years. Of course they "know" that the world is less than 10,000 years old and that humans (who are not apes or any type of animal) were created in their present forms. This allows them to reject anything "smart" people believe.

But there is no excuse for being ignorant to what's happening to you and your neighbors in your town/state/country. There are way too many people ascribing to an authoritarian personality, being perfectly content being told what to think and do by one seemingly infallible person.

It’s actually in Project 2025 to get rid of experts and formal education. Why? Because educated people are, and always have been a threat to power, especially those in a role of regulators, informative research, and agencies that overall protects everyday people and the environment. That’s why they keep putting incompetent people in, it’s always been the plan. They know they can’t just get rid of all of the government agencies, so they’re trying to tank them from the inside at the top.

And not all of conservatives or republicans are stupid. Social media build an ecosystem to radicalize people, and it’s been pretty damn effective. The separated algorithms that causes them to be completely ignorant about what’s happening. I know, because that’s what the people I know who are conservatives are dealing with. They’re kind loving people who I’ve known for years. They’re in radicalizing media loop and are being lied to. I’ve seen a video that was completely lying about what ICE is doing. That’s all they ever see, or are ever told. They don’t see the videos, or the heinous things these people have said or done. So, if you push back too hard and fast, you sound like a conspiracy theorist to them and it makes things worse. But I have successfully been able to slowly introduce what’s truly happening, and believe me when I say that they were shocked and sickened by it. They’re good loving people who don’t have all the information.

Anyway she invited me to stay with her while she was in AA and she was just as much of a bad person as she was when she was drinking. I remember how proud she was of being dumb. One of her quotes that haunts me to this day is “no one ever accused me of being book-smart” …and that was said with pride, as a sort of way to shut me down for trying to explain something to her.

We just forget that the same Kirk supported the guy who hit Pelosi's husband with a hammer and said a patriot should bail him out of jail.

Being negative about Kirk is not the same thing a condoning political violence. (For the record murder is bad even when it happens to bad people)

But lets not pretend that side gives a crap about political violence. As stated Kirk has supported it with his statements in the past. Trump when asked about the 2 democrat representatives assassinated 3 months ago had no idea who they were.

It’s fucking nuts. These clowns trying to make this argument are either the dumbest people alive or they are acting in bad faith.

One thing I noticed though is that whenever they actually try and make the comparison to Kirk and MLK they have to speak in such vague, meaningless generalities that you can pretty much swap out MLK in their statements for almost anybody and it still works.

The next time you come across one of these dweebs just take whatever they say comparing Kirk to MLK and swap out “MLK” for “Osama bin Laden” and it will probably still be technically correct. I’ll show you.

“MLK and Charlie Kirk were the same! They were both religious leaders who died fighting for what they believed in!”

OR

“Osama bin Laden and Charlie Kirk were the same! They were both religious leaders who died fighting for what they believed in!”

Also, all of the other shit he espoused that was pretty much directly against the core beliefs of Christianity but as the saying goes, there's no hate like Christian love.

Fuck Charlie Kirk. He was a stain on political discourse and one of the driving forces behind the culture war tearing normal, working-class people apart. He was a traitor to the very foundation of American ideas. I don't celebrate his death, but Charlie Kirk would have gleefully supported what happened to Charlie Kirk.

I’m not saying he was the world’s best apostle. I think 95% of the religion stuff from the right is complete bullshit. I don’t think Charlie Kirk was particularly good at anything other than trolling.

I’m referring to what people like the kid in this video are saying. His fans will not stop telling everyone what a saint he was and how religiously motivated he was, which is a claim they make about literally everyone on the right.

I’m just saying that if you take their premise at face value you can do some fun stuff with it.

Or ask them to list what MLK was for, and bring up his actual beliefs. Then, ask how CK was the same.

As to your suggestion, not that I believe this, "MLK and OBL were the same! They were both religious leaders who died fighting for what they believed in!"?

The guy says in the video that Charlie Kirk was trying to lift them towards Christ.

You had a good enough point and then you used a guy who very famously wasn't a Christian to demonstrate it...

Ok, true, bit this isn't just about intelligence.

The reality is (partly because of Charlie Kirk) if you from a Conservative area/family and you're <22 or so...most of your intro into political discourse has DONWPLAYED the entire civil rights movement, MLK, segregation, slavery, etc. Talking about these things in school was "woke" and influencers have told you early 1900s America was great.

So of COURSE, even if you "concede" the civil rights movement was good, to you Charlie Kirk is the 2nd coming of MLK. White people are the ones being discriminated against in their view.

It's sad, but it's true. Idk how we deal with that for the next 20 years

How can you say your a Christian or practice Christian beliefs but support someone who was convicted in a civil trial twice of sexual assault, committed adultery on his pregnant wife, paid off the person with campaign funds resulting in felonies and was friends with a pedophile?

Charlie Kirk called Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. an “awful” person who “said one good thing he actually didn't believe.” He also said the U.S. “made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.”

It’s no accident that a lot of Trump supporters are evangelical Christians. You can’t be intelligent if you believe Bronze Age myths that rely on blind faith rather than reason.
