The video is interesting, and I enjoyed the breakdown of the process of mind control, brainwashing, and manipulation techniques, but I'm always so offended at the inevitable "IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOOOUUU" shit that also pops up.
I feel like my presence on the outskirts of the political sphere precludes me from these mainstream attacks. At what point can any person confidently and correctly declare that they have come to their own conclusions? Am I to remain hesitant and unsure forever? That sounds like the brainwashing; "never trust your own thoughts, they might not be yours!!!"
I enjoy hoe_math a lot, but this is not his forte.
Do you know about the Dunning Kruger Effect?
So people can be simultaneously very ignorant AND very confident. I'll give you an example. Nuclear power.
Almost all normies know nothing at all about it. They have very strong, emotional opinions on the subject. It is currently being used as a big, scary election issue here in Australia for the federal election next month.
How much do you know about Nuclear Power? Nothing? More than nothing?
This week in YouTube comments I had people (dozens) confidently tell me that thousands of people had died in the Fukishima Nuclear Power Plant meltdowns and that there was widespread contamination.
Do you think that is true? Here. Without looking; how many people died from radiation related causes following the Fukashima nuclear accident? Pick any number between zero and ten thousand.
Do you still think hoe_math is full of shit?
I seem to recall that a few old people volunteered to take the suicide mission to clean up the dangerous stuff. They lived and died of natural causes or are still alive today I think.
I'd say 0 people died from nuclear fallout or radiation sickness.
How many was it?
You are right, if a little confused.
With the Chernobyl NPP meltdown there were four people who volunteered for a suicide mission to turn valves; which was utterly critical.
All four lived.
With the Fukashima nuclear disaster, a number of temporary workers volunteered to do work, including cleanup work. All of them were monitored and reached their maximum lifetime radiation exposure before being cycled out.
One person who was monitoring radiation levels in the hottest zones died (years later) of lung cancer. After the inquest it was found that radiation had contributed to his death.
In contrast, more than 35 people died due to the evacuation.
So the official number is one. One person died of radiation related causes.
People think nuclear power plants wor the exact same way as nuclear bombs, just slower. So when one melts down they assume it's the same destructive force.
Thank you Panda. May you have the best fortune trying to work out where to stick it so you may reproduce.
Wait till you find out that more people died from the treatments for radiation than the actual radiation in Chernobyl...
I'm not claiming expertise, but nuclear power that I know about is just steam power but the steam is made by radioactive materials. They add fancy names, but it's a water mill being pushed to make energy. DAM power is just a really advanced water wheel.
We are just medieval people with cooler looking tech.
Off my memory, I know the 2011 Tsunami was devastating and that many thousands did die from it. The power plant did not actually kill very many; my guess will be under 500 for sure, probably less than 200. I remember clean-up crews of many old people 'sacrificing' themselves to do the worst of it since the radiation couldn't give them cancers they would live long enough to see. Thousands would be an absurd number.
I think hoe_math is reaching beyond the scope of his original dating commentary and advice in a very esoteric way. The women whose videos he reviews and talks about may indeed be suffering from the kinds of psyops he mentions here, but bringing in a former FBI employee to buff up his credentials seems extreme and strange.
I differentiate strongly between "remember a specific number of deaths from a specific event" and "I no longer believe in the equality of races and sexes." One of these is my personal life experience and the other is completely disconnected from me and I have no idea how it ever actually impacted my life directly or indirectly.
I do still think he's full of shit by insulting me generically. It makes no sense for Dunning-Kruger to ratchet in one political or philosophical direction. There must be people more susceptible and less susceptible, and I reject the idea that claiming oneself to be less susceptible necessarily means being more susceptible.
In this video the subject of Resistant people are brought up who are very hard, if not impossible, to trick or brainwash due to their brain "sizzling." They're too aware of the techniques, ask too many questions, and are not agreeable enough to go along with others when coerced. Simultaneously, he says that saying "no one could ever make me do something I don't want to do" is me being vulnerable to the attack. It's blatantly contradictory. You cannot be both aware and vulnerable to the same attack. I know there are innumerable retards out there, but I hate having to sit through the lecture about probably being one of them the same way I hated sitting through the feminist propaganda spiel about "Men, Please Don't Rape" in my tech school.
If decades of advertising and peer pressure to smoke and drink didn't work, to drink coffee, to date, to buy consoles or games, to Save Democracy and Vote Blue, to support our Greatest Ally, to watch the newest Marvel movie, to get the shot, to do so very many things that untold billions of dollars have been spent trying to make me believe with zero success, what exactly has succeeded? I'm just too ornery, too distrusting, and too paranoid and suspicious.
The answer is one person died of radiation related causes.
A number of temp workers did duties, including clean up. Their exposure was monitored and they reached maximum lifetime radiation exposure or something close, and then were cycled out.
And you are wrong. Germany has decommissioned all of its, useful, safe, completed nuclear reactors because of normies emotional feelings about nuclear power, under circumstances where energy generation was a national security issue in aftermath of Germany being cut off from Russian gas.
Activists loyal to the Green party changed the reports to lie and reverse the findings and claim that the last remaining reactors could not be run safely within guidelines. I am sure they felt they were accomplishing a great good.
The left and women are emotional thinkers and not overly self-aware. hoe_math has a number of videos on "Levels of Consciousness" which is a useful concept to understand when thinking about the Theory of Mind and mental development, rather than just intelligence.
Women and lefties tend to get stuck on something close to level 3 of the seven levels. This is why Socialism is so attractive to them. It offers a complete solution that fits with their simplified mental worldview.
Advertising has worked just fine, especially on women. Everything from DeBeers selling women the image of a glamourous diamond engagement ring to encouraging them to be the most promiscuous of any generation since the stone age.
The Democrat party is successful specifically because this kind of emotional thinker is swayed by simple, emotional advertising and manipulation by fear, uncertainty and doubt.
Women make up the largest voting block and single women are the largest part of that minority. The Democrats have been fucking ruthless in rolling out social policies that encourage women to stay single or divorce; and as a result have been able to rely on their votes to stay in power; so they could roll out more policies that encourage women to stay single or divorce.
Just look at the number of women who passionately support abortion. University educated women, as a rule, tend not to get pregnant. Poor and black women, especially black women, get half the abortions.
Almost all single women get emotional and demand to be freed from the social consequences of having an unwanted baby. They are lead around by the promise of consequence free promiscuous sex, without understanding that is what they are protesting and voting for.
So there you go, that is two things. The end of nuclear power in Germany, thanks to decades of propaganda by the "greens" and making almost all women in the USA single issue voters with regard to abortion.
I agree hoe_math could explain himself better. He gets more clear and more brief as he works through ideas and practices his presentations. But I don't think he is wrong.
The phrasing is annoying, but I just take that as "never be afraid to maintain a healthy skepticism and check claims." Sometimes that also comes down to "don't be afraid of admitting you were wrong."
You don't have to admit you're wrong if you just don't talk shit in the first place.
He's speaking to the general audience. Hoe_math is a popular redpiller so not everyone listening is necessarily on the 'outskirts of the political sphere'. Maybe they're only starting the journey.
Yes and no. IMHO, the ideal is to not hesitate and continue to act based on what you think you know. But also make a habit of questioning how you came to know what you know. If you come across a piece of "common knowledge," especially about history, that you realize you actually picked up from a lifetime of it being a trope in pop-media, correct it or at least revise your certainty around the point. Then continue acting without hesitation.
If you think you're uniquely immune to propaganda, you're probably a great target for it. Willingness to re-evaluate positions that you strongly held is the thing that counters it. And re-evaluate doesn't mean you change your position. It just means tracing the steps you took to get there instead of being dogmatic about it.
I certainly don't think I'm magical and unique, but my presence here is the result of the many years of realizing "oh, they were just lying" over and over. I've done so much reevaluation that I'm not sure how to hone down my belief system any further. I started a thousand mile journey in a different era, and 700 miles down the line I realized I was being led the wrong direction and had to backtrack decades of my beliefs about people and the world.
I do not think I am very good at describing my positions, and rant and ramble a lot while flickering between different ideas. I tend to overuse metaphors and analogies to try getting my point across. It's the result of having to undo so much of what I was taught in my childhood and adolescence.
I would highly recommend setting an hour aside and watching this. While I knew a lot already having read books such as A State of Fear by Laura Dodsworth and Free Your Mind by Laura Dodsworth and Patrick Fagan, it's interesting to know the psychological rationales and biology behind brainwashing and control.
It confirmed what I already knew about one psyop that is being used to push a moral panic that is currently on going in the UK but getting global attention. One around smartphones, social media and the manosphere. We've currently finished the media blitz that went around Adolescence and are waiting for a large event that will prompt the Government into the new law they had in mind all along.
