We are “herd” animals which even Aristotle knew. Eddy Bernays (Freud’s Nephew) who wrote Propaganda put psychological control over people into newspapers and adds to literally control our “thinking” since 1910. We have had agitprop since JP Morgan bought all the APs and own most of Hollywood to control what we “think” is true. We erased God (banned God) and now only allow propaganda in schools and TV-—which only controls emotions (and how we vote and “think”). We erased Reason and now only use Emotions and Rhetoric to control our “truth” since wisdom and true education (Classical Curricula) has been eliminated.
We LOVE to feel like we are part of the GROUP. WE HATE REJECTION.
They use this principle in kindergarten to destroy Free Will and Individualism in our children-—to brainwash them into group think. They will be unable to think coherently since emotions will determine what they “know”.
People who are not embedded with Virtue (the ability to think for themselves (Classical Education), will be able to go against the mob think, because they are filled with Wisdom (Truth/God) from experience and readng the Great Books which is habituated, so they can not easily be controlled and “persuaded” by lies and misinformation.
“Trust” maybe for a moment—but not until they always verify with original sources. When you have embedded Truth from early childhood (male/female paradigm where individualism and Free Will and understanding of self and natural instincts only occur)-—you will be able to detect fraud to an extent. (It is called having Common Sense).
The Wisdom and Classical Education (tools for thinking critically) have been removed from children INTENTIONALLY-—so people like above can influence the herd “think”.....and make them literally jump off of the cliff.
People who can not “think” and are easily persuaded by anyone into irrational philosophy like socialism/ Herd think-—mob philosophy is always EMOTIONAL ONLY—It is ALL emotional manipulation.
Great post. Once in awhile a disruptor comes along. The founding fathers were disruptors, Trump is a disruptor.
