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.
