It's not a question of intelligence, it's a question of time. Most people are too busy running their lives to seriously question what they see in every newspaper, every news channel and hear on every radio station.
I don't think busy is the right word. They're addicted to modern entertainment and therefore never take the time to learn anything that isn't put into the form of entertainment. Everyone does something during their down time. Most want to "vegetate" in front of the screen. It's such low IQ behavior. I guess the fluoride, food additives, vaccinations, and programming has worked beyond their highest dreams.
Exactly. It's not a lack of time. Its a surplu of distraction. It's almost as if it is designed that way. No...no...that would be a conspiracy theory.
If you think about it, we can probably all relate. There have been times when I've wanted to zone out and binge watch a TV series and all of this truth sort of takes a backseat. I do, from time to time, but then my conscience calls me back to sobriety. It eases the mind to distract it. It's quite like alcohol really, it doesn't solve any of the problems but it allows people to escape and not face them. If people can become alcoholics, the same behavior can explain people becoming willfully ignorant.
Truth is, if we can do it they can too. They simply refuse.
Reminds me of an NPR show ad I heard "We sort all the news stories of the week out for you so you don't have to."
Fucking morons want an authority figure to filter their content for them.
In reality though, they're not entirely wrong. There is too much happening in the world to make sense of it all. They just don't realise that their content aggregators are all part of the same oligopoly working against their interests. They think that by reading a few newspapers and channel hopping they're getting a broad overview.
Nah almost all of the news they get from the environment is so fucking obviously retarded, dishonest and agenda driven that the most rudimentary human mind would stop to make a masturbatory gesture.
Bullshit.
The average American spends about 4 hours a day consuming entertainment/media. It's willful ignorance or gross incompetence that facilitates this bullshit.
Maybe. But when I point out why they’re wrong and why niggers are not human they have no excuse for their ignorance
