I don't think there is anything that can red pill the left. If the last week hasn't, nothing will. The gov could be escorting you in chains to a camp and your neighbors would be saying it's for your own good. Only suffering remains as the future. It was inevitable with this culture. So .. let's get it over with.

Black-pill antidote: Even in countries where neighbors do look the other way as camp escorts happen, for years...

Eventually the preference cascade takes hold, and those people stop the tyrants. And that's with the more rebellious by nature types having long since been jailed or executed.

So yeah, the sheep can be awakened. Always best to do so before the purges though.

"Preference cascade?'

You mean they run out of people to purge so they keep moving the goalposts to be able to purge more?

If the secret police and the censors are doing their job, 99% of the populace can hate the regime and be ready to revolt against it - but no revolt will occur because no one realizes that everyone else feels the same way.

This works until something breaks the spell, and the discontented realize that their feelings are widely shared, at which point the collapse of the regime may seem very sudden to outside observers - or even to the citizens themselves. Claims after the fact that many people who seemed like loyal apparatchiks really loathed the regime are often self-serving, of course. But they're also often true: Even if one loathes the regime, few people have the force of will to stage one-man revolutions, and when preferences are sufficiently falsified, each dissident may feel that he or she is the only one, or at least part of a minority too small to make any difference.

This is a description of a preference cascade. It's not what a tyrant wants or does, it is something tyrants are incapable of. It's a group awakening.

Alot of that is becuz they never hear the real news. They're brainwashed that anything other than Legacy media isn't legitimate info. Anything on alternative sites like Gab, MINDS, Odysee, Parler is fake nonsense by extremist loons.

And ya, even after Reality mugs them and kills their pets, they may blame Orange Man.... but alot are waking up. Imo, this GameStop stock thing might wake more up to see who the elites are and it's THEM. We have a Uniparty that both parties have to fight off
