A viral WalkAway video shows that reality wins in the end: An articulate young woman could no longer take the cognitive dissonance between what she was told and what she knew to be true

Georgia H describes how, as a teacher, she was force-fed the narrative about systemic racism in America. However, when Georgia was actually in the classroom, and again when she was working as a nurse, there was a chasm between what she was told and what she knew to be true – and of course, a chasm between what she knew to be true and what she was allowed to say.

Eventually, the stress of that cognitive dissonance (or doublethink) was too great. George H solved it by walking away and then telling others about her intellectual journey.

What’s especially nice about the video is that, once Georgia realized that the narrative was untrue, she was able to see Alexandria Ocasio-Ortez for what she really is: A completely uninformed, goofily appealing mouthpiece for a narrative that has no relationship to the real world. Georgia saw that the Democrat party was “a vapid laughing-stock.” She knew that thinking people should be embarrassed to be a part of it.

It’s an excellent video. If you watch it, be sure to read the notes that Georgia added when the video went viral.

Also, as I’ve heard it, reality is that which - when you stop believing in it - is still there.

Thanks for mentioning her added notes, they weren’t there when I first watched this.

In particular, her #10 aligns with my comment where I first saw this, that she would probably be getting marriage proposals as a result of this!

> 10) i would LOVE to get out of LA! holy moly i think about it every day! my dream is to meet a SENSIBLE guy and hightail it to texas. yeehaw!

Hell, if I were younger and not married, I’d propose!

I meant to attribute to Theodore Dalrymple. It’s a famous quote.

The effect described is the motivation for its cause.

The goal is to create this state in people, as they become highly manipulable.

Abortion is a good example. You force cognitive dissonance onto someone by having them commit that act. They become highly motivated to avoid reality and very malleable to those who support their dissonant state.

At some level, the creation of cognitive dissonance is a conscious act. The leadership of the “movement” knows what they are doing. I doubt that AOC knows. She is just a bartender.

This has been a very tough year for patriotic singles.

“REALITY! Existence...Exists. A = A”

And that is the Achilles heel of postmodernism, cultural Marxism and multiculturalism.

The notion that everything is a social construct, that you can make up any rules for living that you like, that you can shape reality to suit your whims and that those rules and fabricated realities are as good as any other is patently bogus.

Simply stated, THEY DO NOT WORK in the world of reality.

Our rules for living and value systems haven’t come out of thin air or some pipedream of an intellectual at an ivory tower. They are the result of millennia of years at the school of hard knocks known as living and figuring out the hard way what works and doesn’t in the real world.

These lessons were put in poetic form by Rudyard Kipling in what has become one of my favorite poem.

After viewing this the feeling is Republicans should go into our Universities and start rescuing young people who have been drawn into these toxic group think situations.

We don't have to pull them out of the democrat cult - but they need to know 'we're there' when they're ready to leave...

Watched the whole 47 minutes. Actually pretty good. She uses “like” way too much though. It gets annoying.

But her message is otherwise clear and should resonate with some of the younger crowd.

RE: After viewing this the feeling is Republicans should go into our Universities and start rescuing young people who have been drawn into these toxic group think situations.

Folks like Charlie Kirk of Turning Pint USA, Candace Owen ( Hope she gets well from Covid-19 ), Dinesh D’ Souza, Dennis Prager, Ben Shapiro and Ann Coulter are doing just that.

Unfortunately, the mere fact of their stepping into college campuses sometimes endangers their safety.... but they’re still courageously pushing on.

That’s a habit of millenials in the USA. I wonder how they got that linguistic habit.
