What continues to amaze me is that people fall for it, over and over again.

Told a mrówka the other day "Think how many times US intelligence has told flat out conscious lies in recent years? So why should you believe them when they tell an obviously bullshit story about the Nordstream destruction?"

Maybe I shouldn't be surprised. If you realize that you are ruled by sociopaths, then you have to make hard choices, choices which can lead to very serious consequences, especially considering your relative lack of personal power.

If you go with the flow, you can avoid those consequences for the time being.

Franz Fanon's teachings on cognitive dissonance also come to mind.
