Do people not question the government or media because they have no inner monologue?

How can you become self aware of the government & media's effect on you if you never develop the critical thinking skills necessary to ask questions and challenge what you believe?

The Era of Great Noticing has begun.
Modern liberalism is morally bankrupt and demonic.
Right wing politics is the new counter-culture.
Wincel: "I'm saying even the govt of China, while brutal at times, is NOT our enemy. Period."
Has Beowulf10 ever experienced true love? Where did he go?
Education is humanity's key to salvation.
The 2nd Cold War has begun.

Depends on the status of US national security, but yes.

We are their major military supplier/supporter to keep them dependent on us. China is doing the same thing by being the main supplier to African nations. China is trying to build and support an African NATO.

I've considered this myself since learning so many people don't have an internal monologue. And it doesn't just pertain to government. Here, take this Lipitor for your cholesterol. Fuuuk, where to even begin? Hey doc, what about triglycerides? What about statin drugs weakening muscle contractions, including heart muscle contractions? And why is LDL measured in a fasted state when a fasted state means LDL will be temporarily elevated in most people?

This unquestioning is disturbing. I give a pass if you're under 21-25 but holy fawk if you're 41 and just cede to things without question, and even worse continue ceding when the failure repeats. Like vegans that feel like shyte for years and keep it up, thinking if they take 26 pills a day instead of 25 they'll feel alright.
Yeah Buddyyy! Light weight! Light weight baby!!!!

What if the sky is blue because ( as above so bellow )

What if the Bible is right and there is water above and below us?

What if there’s a reason “they” want us to deny our God giving senses.

Some say we all had more senses back in the day, we tend to lose more and more every generation.

Seems to coincide with those who have a strong external locus of control ingrained, who blame everyone else besides self in the face of adversity. A mental shortcut of the weak to just ignore critical thought and free will, and instead often process what they are presented at face value, for better or worse. After all, it’d be hard work to use mental resources to think and look beyond that..

What’s really fun is that plenty of these very people are self described “free spirits” and “free thinkers”.

Do you think people were socially engineered to be this way?

It wasn’t too long ago when opioids were taking out so many & everyone had major distrust in Big Pharma, & certainly Big Daddy Govenment, now the left bends the knee whenever they are told & have become the party of pro-war & drug pushers..I don’t know when it seemed to switch, but they are more gullible then the right could ever possibly imagined to be.

How can the media and government do such a great job at influencing these people?

It is literal brainwashing bro. There is strong psychology at play here, which the DNC has mastered beautifully...
Brainwashing (also known as mind control, menticide, coercive persuasion, thought control, thought reform, and forced re-education) is the concept that the human mind can be altered or controlled by certain psychological techniques. Brainwashing is said to reduce its subject's ability to think critically or independently, to allow the introduction of new, unwanted thoughts and ideas into their minds,[1] as well as to change their attitudes, values, and beliefs.[2][3]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwashing
Somewhere along the way the DNC pretty much took control of the mainstream media, and I'll give you an example... Biden was caught plagiarizing during his first presidential run in 1988, he was ass raped in the media for it, and it killed his campaign dead.

Fast forward to today, and that same media celebrates when he eats a fuking ice cream cone.

And to this day we have a handful of posters here who still queef about covid... And don't you dare question it because they, and they alone trust the science dammit!

The examples are endless too... Kyle Rittenhouse is a racist homicidal maniac who executed three helpless black people in cold blood, Bernie Sanders really really has our best interests at heart when he wants to raise taxes, covid is killing hundreds of millions of people - even though it has a 99.99998% rate of survival, hundreds upon hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars sent to Ukraine is the best thing ever - which is odd because libs used to rage about US involvement in other countries affairs. Etc...

And on and on.Ad Infinitum...

That's what makes the NPC memes so good, they're real life.



Of course if you question or resist the programming though, you become a threat to democracy...

It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your knife: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be dead by sunup. Sleep tight mates, in your quilted chambray night shirts.

Even after reading the facts/stats, you still knowingly repeat leftist media/corporate talking points that supports policies that ends MAGA/Trump, etc...cause.. feels > math Thats not even debatable.

Pick One:

Trump
