I agree, many people are just sheep. Look how many took the experimental jab and then did did total freak outs about those who refused.

In recognizing the dogma surrounding this, it isn’t so much that they put exaggerated lies forward as the truth, but that they seem to garner so many listeners.

1) Communism/socialism will always be popular with those who believe they can get something for nothing.

2) Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

Very good post. Thanks.

Reminds me of:

Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better.

When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity.

To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed.

A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.
