“ Some folks who have the same upbringing, have learned to use such to their benefit, like: detecting when the mob around them is tripping on BS narratives doing their best to dodge scrutiny.”
Well said, and 💯% accurate. I have married into a family made up of Ex-Pentecostals. I can tell you they all have baggage from that cult. One manifestation of that trauma is that about 50% of them, despite claiming to be more free-thinking, fell for all the propaganda concerning Covid.
I think part of it is just where they are in their personal journey. They are very ego driven right now after escaping the religion and hate all things involving religious motivations. So when they perceive advice from the “Right” as religious/conspiracy theory, a very clever way to paint with a broad brush, their brains turn off.
Science is now the infallible institution in which to put their faith. Also, the amount of research necessary to actually make heads or tails of information coming from multiple sources and remembering who contradicts what they just said a week ago, a mont ago, a year ago, ect is very mentally exhausting at times. Even so, if you used those skills to deconstruct a religion then you can do the same with the Media/Big Pharma, ect.
For those of you who automatically believe “The Science”, Boston University has created a new, deadlier strain of Covid by combining Omicron and the Wu-Han strain. How nice! It’s more deadly as it kills 80% of the mice infected and it spreads like Omicron…
Through this latest experimentation a lie about Omicron becomes very clear. Remember the Media forecasting doom and Fauci and the powers that be, along with Big Pharma, pushing booster due to the Omicron Variant? As it turns out, time and again the lab mice just wouldn’t die with Omicron exposure. They got the sniffles and got over it.. So where exactly was the danger from Omicron?
Again, you’ve been lied to. You’re being lied to over and over by Institutions who don’t give a shit about you. You can start being objective or you can just blindly join the Science cult.
