Comfortable people don’t start, maintain or complete revolutions. Shit’s gonna have to get really really bad really really quickly for anybody to actually seriously mobilize against the reality of the insanity that you live inside. It’s just so fundamentally corrupt and broken at every possible level Anyone suggesting that we need some kind of relatively small skin procedure when the patient has stage four skin cancer is still living in a dream world

There is a difference between agitation and demoralization. Demoralization often has the opposite of the intended effect. People shut down and stop resisting, they defect to the other team, they abuse substances or in extreme cases they self-harm, all because they are convinced that resistance is impossible. None of this advances your revolutionary goals. Demoralization is collaboration with the enemy.

  I reject this concept that there’s some kind of intentional demoralization happening here If people feel demoralized it’s because they can’t generate the rage necessary to turn information into physical action If someone is overwhelmed by it then that is a indictment that should give people pause and ask “why is my response to fear to freeze fawn or flight instead of fight” Ultimately if the plurality of humans roll over and die when encountered with overwhelming force, then so be it and that’s the result, and they will go the way of Neanderthal If people are not enraged then they are being intentionally ignorant and ultimately theres nothing to save

    Your very competent opponents have studied this problem and found that people can be manipulated through careful application of psychological warfare techniques. Ultimately your position boils down to “I would rather lose than alter my tactics because humans don’t behave as I’d like them to.” Your opponents will happily oblige you.

      I think you seem to be missing the point that the citizenry is the problem To quote carlin: The public sucks If the citizen is so devoid of capabilities that it can be manipulated into killing itself then the citizen does not have what it takes to survive

        You claim that you’re trying to wake people up. I think you should be more honest with yourself. You’re mocking the people for their own failures as they go under.

        I’m not a screen so stop projecting My hope is that people wake up but I do not have any confidence that that is actually going to happen, as I stated You use the word “mocking” but it’s inappropriate here - a better word to use would be “challenging” or “agitating.” Ultimately if my life is surrounded by a bunch of robots who can do all the things that are necessary in order to move the epistemological foundations of reality forward that’s more than I could say for any collection of humans. After over 40 years of experience as a human I can tell you definitively the humans are the number one problem in the world.

        Well I guess we have the same hopes and frustrations, the difference is that I try to encourage people who are aligned with me. Motivated people with encouragement and a positive mindset can accomplish much. Demotivated people retreat to their homes and wither away. Right now the demotivators are winning.
