There are very few things that actually frighten me, but this does. Propaganda and brainwashing scares me to death because it works and almost anyone over 65 is proof of that.
It's absolutely astonishing. I know guys in their late 60's and early 70's who were high-level executives, lawyers, doctors, etc. Guys who built successful businesses, own multiple homes, all that stuff. And they're buying into the scamdemic 100%. I mean, some of these guys are scared to death of the coof, won't travel, don't see their grandkids, and can't wait to take an experimental vaccine based on a technology platform never used before and that ended up killing the test animals it was used on. If anyone had told me ten years ago that even half of this craziness would exist today, I would have concluded they were on LSD or PCP or something.
There are actual studies on propaganda and its effect on people. Level of intelligence is not a bulwark against it. There is no difference in how smart someone is and propaganda success rate.
I'm willing to bet there is an opposite correlation of those who are educated in history tho.
If you know what you believe, why you believe it, and have a strong set of immutable core principles by which you strive to live your life, that goes a long way toward being resistant to propaganda. This is largely independent of intelligence (barring any obvious mental handicap). It is also something religion provides, and why Marxists hate it so much.
