In my experience saying "most people don't believe it even when told" is closer to the truth. To my mind, this is a logical consequence of broad-scale propaganda that decries anyone who says stuff like this as someone who has a tin-foil hat on. You can have solid proof from reputable sources for days, but with most people you will never break through this mental block.
- borvel 7y agoAgree completely. Anything marginally unsettling uttered out of critical thought (or well-sourced material) is met with complete incredulousness. Anything to suggest sinister motives is laughed off. We are entering an age of mass hypnosis where people actually want to be asleep. Their world fits onto a 4 inch screen they carry everywhere, using a single finger to navigate it. They want to plug into the grid and never look away.
