    are you like, dumb?

    trades are dead. We don't need any more of those people.

    We need to extract every bit of intelligence we have hidden in the masses and then throw the rest in the incinerator.

    We need people who can do things that machines can never do in order to grow our economy.
    Too bad we've spent the last thousand+ years making everyone as stupid as possible on purpose.

  2. Why are you so stupid to talk about Donald Trump when the problem is the system he works for? How are you better than the people you talk down to when you are both transfixed by the bouncing red ball, even if for different reasons?

    What's astounding is your devotion to deluding yourself into believing you are better than other people. By choosing a context where neither side will be proved wrong, you feel safe in your judgement from afar, never having to put yourself to the test and seriously entertain any potential refutation.

  3. You are naive like a middle school boy writing a paper for his teacher

    What does happiness matter at all? You say it's your favorite thing, but how do you prove you like it more than suffering? You can say it all you want, but that's no proof or explanation.

    The greatest satisfaction for a human is not happiness. It is the application of all of his faculties, instinctual, learned, and self-taught, the product of the potential for human intelligence, that gives him satisfaction even when he suffers.
    So it is with all creatures. They are satisfied because of the fruit of their suffering.

    Maybe everything you say as applicable and true, but not without some work around it. People will need another compulsory activity besides work, and it can't be watching TV or playing video games. People need a REAL challenge or they start to go insane and getting fixated on grotesque, cheap substitutes for things that provide fulfillment (like 99.99% of everyone you ever see in your life).

    This is exactly what I'm talking about. You forget psychology is real when you have something you want to believe.

    I think you're forgetting a fundamental rule of human existence. I choose to render it as "people say all kinds of shit".
    Hearsay is not evidence.
    It doesn't matter how many people say it, there are too many potential reasons for them to lie.

    And yet I point out an incredibly obvious proof which no one will attempt and you refuse to even acknowledge because "everyone already knows the truth we don't need no evidence or rational thought"

    The issue of the holocaust is far beside the point: peoples' minds are broken. They have zero attention span for rational thought. This makes them nothing but extensions of the will of their leaders/controllers/owners. They will do, say, and believe anything their superior wills on them.

    Hearsay used to be a good hint as to the truth. That age is gone. "Where there's smoke there's fire" is expired. People have been stripped of their independent nature. You can't trust anything anyone says outside the traditional scope of human life.

    If everyone saw Jimmy punch the cop at the party that's one thing.
    If everyone saw Hitler make a conspiracy to take over the world and exterminate all non blue-eyed whites, then you know everyone is insane because you can't just spot something like that. You have to put it together from an immense body of evidence.

    Good advice. It's just that it takes intelligence to accept and use this advice, which most people do not have to begin with.

    People are not being bred for intelligence or independent thought. They are being bred to listen to and believe authority.

    You can't tell people to be smart when society is designed to make them stupid. When society depends on these people being stupid to function.

    And yet the evangelists hesitate to bring any proof of this documentation.

    It's almost like their outrage at skepticism was designed to prevent too many rational people from contemplating the evidence.

    People like to have things dragged down to their level. But this is utter insanity; you can't demonize people, ;et alone those who are closely related to you, without thoroughly investigating the matter for yourself. You have to serve justice to your fellow man, you have to do due diligence to investigate your own character, and you need to be informed to deal with politics.

    But all of this turns out to be too much work for people who have all their physical needs taken care of and nothing at all to do really. They would rather be entertained than to think about anything "yucky".

    It's not a few pieces of "bullshit" floating around that is perverting democracy.

    It's the purposeful mis-education of the masses.

    The elephant in the room that no one is mentioning anywhere, because it is so forbidden to say, is that the public is literally stunted in their mental growth. In other words, they are stupid. They are likely to believe things they here without any rational analysis. They are used to believing things they hear because of the pressure to fit into a competitive society. They don't have the ability to analyze things under this kind of pressure.

    It used to be that this all worked fine because the media was under tight control. The vast majority of what people would hear through "official-seeming" sources would be nothing other than the official narrative. Now, with the internet being everywhere, forces other than the establishment are able to have a say also.

    The beer-hall talk of days past is now being broadcast, and it is causing problems for the establishment.
    And it isn't all 'drunken nonsense'. It's rooted in people's experience, and that enough is some justification for it to be called true.

    Advocating for anyone to have a license to decide for everyone what is true and what is not is utter insanity.
    Being tempted to jump to a conclusion because it seems like "it would be for the best" is not an excuse.
    In life you often have to choose between strength and death, though in the modern world death seems suspended forever.
    This is one of those choices, and in this case, death is not that far off.
    Freedom is at stake here. If it falls now it may never rise again.

    Facebook is not some genius invention. It is the people who use it that make it; the product itself contributes nothing but space. It's an interface to a public forum. Why should it be censored?
