Oddbean new post about login | logout The dissonance of a smoothie is hard to over state. My folks had a newspaper on the table.. i noted the full page piece of US propaganda framing Kamala as the saviour. I noted it out loud, to which my old man responded “id rather her than trump. Trump will lead us into ww3” So strange non americans taking such strong positions firstly secondly; “bro. There are so many wars right now and is trunp in power?” My sense is that the “establishment” deepstate blue team does propaganda better and incredibly there is no limit to which the smoothies will stop falling for it.
I think people (smoothies? 😁) just want to follow a large group and will say they believe any nonsense in order to do that, "red" or "blue" doesn't really matter. Of course this means they don't actually "believe" anything at all, they aren't interested in reality - and to be fair its a lot easier that way.

Ignorance is slavery
We all smoothies to some extent when we were young. It’s just sad and frustrating that when we wake up and open our eyes that we rarely are able to wake others up. Same goes for a lot of others areas in life. Same with bitcoin of course😕. Keep marching on.✌️
“In a January 2003 CBS poll, 64% of Americans had approved of military action against Iraq; however, 63% wanted Bush to find a diplomatic solution rather than go to war, and 62% believed the threat of terrorism directed against the U.S. would increase due to war.”
