    Surely you know they’re just using that as a way to get people to accept it. They don’t care about the children - except as a source of revenue.

        we know that it’s always either “think of the children” or “terrorism” but a huge majority don’t, so we need to say it each time on the off chance that they pay attention beyond the headline… for once.

          I’ve lost faith. I’ve come to realize there is a small minority of humans with the biological capacity to be individuals and think critically. I almost wish I were one of the “normal” people. I’d have a social life and a job.

            the truth of the matter is that they just aren’t aware and only they can make themselves aware; a truly bitter pill.

              This is probably why civilizations collapse after 500 to 900 years. The morons become the majority, then only the smartest and healthiest survive the fall, wonder around for a few hundred years trying to pull it together, then the cycle repeats.

                there are morons for sure, but i believe that the overwhelming majority are just not informed and my own experiences with studying american propaganda thanks to things like the freedom of information act has convinced me that they were intentionally not informed to benefit the epstein oligarchy.
