Pattern recognition is an innate ability/instinct for most people. Schools try to overwrite that instinct with unquestioning obedience but it simply doesn't work reliably. Very few actually become true believers. Most simply keep their head down out of fear and societal pressure. Humans are herd animals in the end. Women especially.

That's why the state and media is constantly pumping out fear porn. Nuclear armageddon, world-ending pandemics, climate apocalypse, you name it. Terrified people don't dare to question the status quo.

Because cognitive dissonance is very uncomfortable for most people. It is much easier to hold to a lie told to others than it is to hold to a lie told to yourself. Eventually, the dam will break.

Most people refuse to deal with it, or even acknowledge it. They just ignore and keep playing real world sims.

The number of times I pointed out OBVIOUS inconsistencies and BS about the Covid vaccines to highly educated and qualified people, only to be met with the NPC stare was actually eerily fuckin creepy. I could see them just mentally go into standby mode in real time. Not arguing, not challenging anything I was saying, just making that stupid fucking face 😐

Runtime error.

Then a day or two later they’d be back at the office proudly declaring they’d had their next booster. Even when discussing everything now in hindsight four years later, there’s almost no self reflection or debate etc, just that same stupid face.

Good description. I witnessed the npc blue screen several times. All you have to do is present a very well-documented fact that goes hard against their programming. They literally shut down right in front of you. Because that’s how they can avoid shattering their whole world.

Yeah. Might take a while depending on the culture/people but it always inevitably happens. Even China seems to be getting pretty close to the breaking point.

Hilariously enough, for China it was a combination of the civilisation-ending "one child policy" combined with feminist-osmosis that seeped in from Western nations under the guise of encouraging women to compete in the workforce.

The biological imperative of hypergamy worked its magic, as Chinese men are now facing both a dearth of female options AND having to compete with them for social status. The women now get to be picky, have their independence, and make as much as their potential male suitors.

This has resulted in the young men in China finally waking up to realise that the soft-communist state they've been operating under promises nothing, leads to nothing, resulted in a surplus of 30 million extra males with no possibility of finding a potential mate or continuing their line, and that the system is rigged.

They've seen the patterns of the West invade their own culture and now I'm curious what they're going to do about it? ...Or will they wallow in porn and gambling addictions to avoid the inevitable crumbling infrastructure when their birth rates keep plummeting?
