Thanks for that info. It really is very easy for me to overlook the fact that a great many people just don’t have time to find stuff out, as they’re too busy trying to make ends meet. Your remarks suggest that it’s essential to have some respect and sympathy for those who have been deceived rather than just feel scorn and anger at them, as I admit I often do.
Also, it brings to mind the idea that maybe I have a responsibility to try to inform people who haven’t had the leisure to inform themselves, in a friendly not antagonistic way. So I’ll give some thought to how I might best do that.
I suspect we’re facing a propaganda war that will go on for years and maybe decades. When one considers that the cigarette industry was able to gaslight and bamboozle the public for a solid half century, that seems like a real possibility. If we want to thwart the globopsycho agenda, we have our work cut out for us.
