How are you shocked that people don't even know that the last three years happened? Of course they don't know that the US is weak and dying. Bread, circuses and lying media/censorship. Hell. My grandfather believes the Ukies are resilient and are heroically resisting Putin and that Netanyahu is the right man right now at this moment in time. The youngest of my family are so tuned out and just play videogames and think Ukraine is fine.
That's what surprises me most. People legit erased the covid, lockdowns, the death jabs, the overall tyranny and the helicopter money with inflation from their minds.
It's like they are suppressing the memories, a response to trauma like they were raped so violently, they disassociated. I still see some though who wear masks in their cars, their mind completely broken. It's honestly...bizarrely terrifying how weak they are.
I'm theorizing because it looks like it. Ignorant and demoralized would fit too.
I don't know either. I try but I have a hard time empathisizing with people that fell so far off into insanity.
@Zeb @Momther do you think it's a trauma response and "normalcy bias" or are they truly just ignorant and propagandized? I don't know.
