They only just found out that Biden is that bad with the dementia because of his fuck up at the NATO summit

Minor correction:
They only just found out that Biden is that bad with the dementia because [the legacy media finally reported on] his fuck up at the NATO summit. [And they've now been given orders to think this.]

That's the most absurd part. This could have continued, if the machine hadn't thrown ol' Joe under the bus.

Even with all his recent fuckups, those same normies would still be saying how great he is, if the media hadn't told them it's no longer Biden O'Clock.

I wouldn't say unthinking, more like not paying attention. normies care about living their lives by and large, as they should. however this means thinking about politics is not the path of least resistance, so politics often goes ignored. that's why so many people just believe whatever the TV man says, they never think to put the time in to investigate these things.

I consider attention a key component of thought. If you aren't attentive you aren't actually thinking, just stumbling from one reaction to the next like an animal.

but attention to what? There's a billion things we can pay attention to. Our friends, families, health, favorite games or shows, the micro-economics of dirt oval racing, etc etc etc. My point is that they choose to pay attention to things other than politics.

To thought itself. Mindfulness, for lack of a better term.

They don't have it. They don't "think" so much as they just move from impulse to impulse, reaction to reaction. Based largely on conditioning or incapability, doesn't really matter.

It's a little of both. I know very smart people with highly technical jobs who are political ignoramuses simply because they don't want to spend brain cycles on political topics. The smarter ones at least do not express strong opinions either way. They might fit into your definition, but far more people are either low IQ or criminally ignorant. Political philosophy is not so difficult that "living your life" gives you an excuse not to be aware. I must assume people like that are largely unthinking until something pokes at them. That something usually being an emotionally manipulative news report.

The really crazy part is, putting aside our feelings of Biden and his dementia, uh...we're seeing a coup against the "duly elected" (hahaha) President of the United States, in real time, on TV.

I wish our system had any sort of validity. But we just keep couping ourselves. We do not have a legitimate government, and haven't for over a century, probably. Our shadow leaders just don't generally physically kill the couped leaders. But we keep having bloodless coups that no one even sees.

You two hit the nail on the head. It's been fun poking fun at Biden's dementia gaffs more openly than we were allowed for the past four years, but I hope the normiecons and grillers can see how we're all being manipulated by the media that runs the country. That's the real story here.

Yup. I've been shouting it from the rooftops since this all started. Some people get it, but a lot don't. And, I understand why they don't, and can't even blame them, really. I said it in another thread: This is utter propaganda...but it's true propaganda, it conforms to reality, and it conforms to rightwing biases. Unless you're really paying attention, or have a finally tuned bullshit radar - both things normies by definition generally lack - you're totally primed to believe this.

Indeed. I think the precise turning point was the presidential debate, which was where it became so obvious that they couldn't lie to the face of normies about Biden's competency anymore. Sure, I know they aren't stupid enough to suddenly believe the earth is flat because CNN said so, but it had to take a screw-up this bad to flounder any trust that voting for biden was a good idea.

competency

I'm not a native speaker but is this a Mandela effect where the word "competence" doesn't exist anymore? Same for "relevancy", the -y sounds like some weird zoomer slang to me. I'm waiting for "performancy" to show up next.

– LauriThorne 6 points 1 year ago +6 / -0

According to Wikipedia, it's HR speak. Apparently "competence" is "what the job required" and "competency" is "what skills you have"

It's all made up so they can pretend to have come up with a new and exciting concept to trick companies into buying their bullshit.

– Vicious_snek6 3 points 1 year ago +3 / -0

the -ancy endings are actually a fair bit older. I think it's a load of HR and legalspeak rather than zoomers though that have brought back 'dependency', 'relevancy' and 'competency'

– MrHeretic 3 points 1 year ago +3 / -0

I don't know. I know that the word has been used before in legal jargon, as in "Not restorable to competency" before, probably for a long time. I do think the word "competence" is still a thing, at least.

I only partly understand how retarded the normies are, it's for that reason that monarchists actually have a strong argument over having a open democracy.

What was that George Carlin quote, Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

It's one of the reasons I'd be happy if we switched to a Starship Troopers way of voting, AI 'managed democracy' or just had monarchies again because at least they focus on legacy more.

Unfortunately since I know you're in the UK, I know those retarded normies are the same as BLUE CITY retarded normies in the States, I know a few that it as took me years to convince yeah Biden's retarded. Just realising the mindset of normies is what made me more machiavellian in that fuck understanding, you can all fear me and be lied to with no remorse.

Had a family gathering last week and experienced the same thing, although thankfully my liberal family members only brought up politics a few times and the subject was quickly dropped.

But the last night we were together, my nephew mentioned how Biden said he was the first black female President. His Mom immediately got upset and defensively said; "No, no, that's not true." When my nephew insisted that Biden did say it and there's a video, she said, "No he didn't! If there's a video it's a deep fake or whatever!"

While this was happening, I brought up a search showing all the articles about it but she wouldn't look at them and stormed out saying we shouldn't talk politics lol

I was fascinated and horrified at the same time. It was so on the nose for how we view NPC's so yeah I definitely believe you OP

It is a literal crisis of faith for them. All their prophets, all their seers, all their thought leaders, all their experts knew that Biden was a shell of a man and then lied to them about it.

For a Christian, it would probably be like finding out God is real and all powerful but also does not care at all about humanity.

Hopefully, honestly. I just had the brave AI tell me "arguments in favor of balkanization". Not bad. I'd like to comment on each argument but if I ever got doxxed I'd end up in a gulag for sure. Anyway:

Arguments in favor of balkanization Increased Autonomy: Balkanization can lead to the creation of new, independent states, allowing for increased autonomy and self-governance for the regions and communities involved. Preservation of Cultural Identity: By creating separate states, Balkanization can help preserve the cultural identity and heritage of distinct ethnic or national groups, which may be threatened by assimilation or domination by a dominant group. Reduced Conflict: In cases where a multi-ethnic state is plagued by ethnic conflict, Balkanization can potentially reduce tensions and violence by allowing for the creation of separate states, each governed by the dominant ethnic group. Economic Benefits: The creation of new states can lead to increased economic activity and investment, as each state can develop its own economic policies and strategies tailored to its specific needs and resources. Democratization: Balkanization can lead to the establishment of new democracies, as each state can develop its own democratic institutions and governance structures. Prevention of Dominance: Balkanization can prevent a dominant group from imposing its will on other groups, allowing for greater equality and representation for all communities involved.

If you don't believe me, at this point, crows are smarter. We, those of us that have similar views often love to bring up Idiocracy, but I believe we are worse off than what the film predicted. Like I said before, for being so slow on the uptake, the normies are also arrogant for some reason. The whole day watching TV and being addicted to social media have done irreparable damage on them.

Humans are still under selective pressure in an environnent that makes retards too dumb to delay gratification and put a condom the more successful breeders, because their dumb spawn are provided for by more intelligent Whites who don't reproduce enough.

This will keep going untill the environment changes. With violently removing or preventing breeding of the retards, or when the retards starve en-masse when there are no-longer enough "ressources" ( productive Whites ) to leech from.

It's what huntards use to justify their recreational murder. "It makes the species better!" Except they don't do tests to determine which ones are the retards and losers, they just go by who gets unlucky enough to be seen.

Humans need to be hunted by real hunters. The species certainly deserves it for its

Can confirm. My father actually stopped speaking to me entirely for a few months last year when I told him that Joe Biden was senile and he said something along the lines of "Oh come on, don't tell me you believe in that fake news crap that those MAGA crazy people are spreading".

do not underestimate how retarded normies still are

I learned this the hard way by dabbling in normie spaces. It's bad everywhere, really. Normies really are more retarded than people think, and it's especially bad in female spaces; listening to the average wench open her mouth reveals that however bad you thought it was, it's actually worse than that.

TL;DR: Listening to normies prattle on about the state of affairs is the true black pill.

You'd think there would be some hope for enlightenment once the boomers die off/cut the cord with cable news.

My experience though is that the ones that abandon network news just immediately go from frying-pan-to-the-fire by switching to MSM news outlets online that they unquestionably start getting their "news" from instead.
