Neither are you. Sorry but I'd much rather trust people who have spent their lives studying something, than someone like you who spouts pseudo-intellectual psychobabble rather than engaging in actual conversation.
What makes someone an expert is the fact that they have spent decades studying a topic much more deeply than anyone else ever does. What on earth makes you so sure you know more than people who have dedicated their career to study and analyzing a problem? That's what some might call hubris. It must be nice to be so self-assured about topics you don't really know much about. Debate is easy when you can hand wave anything away that you disagree with. It's not effective, but it's easy. For you anyway, it's quite frustrating for everyone else.
Any time someone presents you with arguments, you type up a page long wall of text that amounts to "no one can know anything for sure except that everything anyone tells you except what I'm telling you now is politically motivated". It's ironic because you're spending a lot of time telling us not to make everything so political. But you seem unable to engage in debate without bringing politics into it.
I'm perfectly okay. I'm not sitting around all day fuming about this stuff or looking down on people around me. I am a pretty happy and well adjusted guy and this stuff doesn't take up a lot of my mental space in my everyday life. But when I come on here to this forum, I come on here to debate topics, as that is what it's for. This isn't debate though, I'm not even sure what it is. it would be nice if you actually responded to any of the points I'm making rather than just repeatedly ignoring my points and telling me I'm a sheep.
You sure you havent come to just parrot propaganda in order to satiate your desire to get one over someone else who doesnt have the same beliefs?
I disagree with the narrative. Thats not changing. I am a student of social sciences and my speciality is group dynamics and political influence. I wrote a 235 page essay on group dynamics, specifically the behaviour of mobs and groupthink. I also study personality disorders as well as abuse studies, mainly narcissitic abuse although I have researched psychopathy and sociopathy in both societal and domestic settings. A bit about drug addiction too and its biological basis. I also have studied the Chinese societal transformation over the last century and its well documented ideological direction change, along with brainwashing that was rampant in order to push for complete control. Similiar stuff to regime change that we all know happens under tyranny. I also study psychotherapy, mainly those who have been victims of gaslighting and that includes political also. I have dealt with several clients who were victims of this for ousting corruption in positions of authority that led to sex crimes being committed on the victims.
You have been brainwashed if you believe you cannot know something unless its expertise in that particular field. Our brains are not so rigid. There are crossovers as well as diverse learning styles that correlate with multidisciplinary integration. My perspective is social sciences primarily.
What makes me so sure? The fact that never in the history of our humanity experienced anything like this and when we have its been on the history books as tyranny, oppression, authoritarianism/totalitarianism and ideologies that are counter to our societal foundations and identities. The fact that never in the history of our planet have we tore up the history books, science books and demonized common sense, rationality and reasoning. And when did, we lived under rule of the church and we killed "witches" and "exorcised" people of "demons" while the priest class intepretated scripture most couldnt read because most were completely illiterate and were kept from basic skills that aided them in basic functioning of life. The last times things happened similiar to this we lived in dark times. Just because we live in the modern world with conveniences doesnt imply we are not facing them now. And if you think dark times just happen like this, you deserve to be a slave to its narrative. You make your bed.
As I have said I dont believe it. You dont like it and you dont like my way of explaining myself. Thats a reflection of you, not me. If there was no narratives like this, I wouldnt be commenting. I am not the person continuing them. I am saying they stop when you stop believing in them, much like cult dynamics. I am saying this doesnt need to happen and that it is wrong and people need lots of help to heal them due to the torture they have endured. Then again, some people like to experience that and this is connected to our innate human desire to enact masochistic fantasies and be dominated and be in awe and submissive to a superior person/entity other than ourselves. Think religion, think cults, think BDSM and sub/dom relationships, think the social hieararchy we have in place and where the average person stacks up.
Some people want to be dominated and want to be told what to do. In psychology this is both good and bad. Its good as a child as it infers submission to elders. It can and often is negative when we grow older as we seek out our deep inner juvenile tendencies to find the superior other who can replace or improve upon our relatioship with our parents as a child. Thats why many adults are dysfunctional, because of their broken relationship dynamics and expectations with others and usually what we call mommy or daddy issues. Lots of people have that and then project it onto an even bigger entity, like God, or government, police, authority roles etc.
Your manipulation fails. You expect me to placate you and entertain you within the context of YOUR rules. I am taking you out of that area and it pis*es you off because you cannot control neither me or my opinion. I am looking beyond it whereas you want me to stay confined within it where, obviously, I am wrong either way. In terms of psychotherapy it would something similiar to detachment and challenging the clients presenting issues. Sometimes we blame others for our own reality. And sometimes we need reminding it is indeed OUR reality and OUR responsibility. My responsibility is to make sure you know its all coming from you, and not me.
I dont want this, you do. You are pushing, not me. It is the projection of your inner world predicated on your conditioning related to current events. Thats your sh*t to deal with, not mine. We can converse all day but forcing the debate to take what we all know is the only path, and thats what the mainstream narrative is, lets not pretend there are choices, we are all made to believe this is happening whether we like it or not (conditioning/brainwashing/gaslighting), isnt going to work.
You brought the fight. I just disarmed you and made into what it really is, a slanging match. I simply cut the facade and got down to the main point and thats society attacking itself while the world changes around us and changes happen we didnt want, need or ask for. Pretty silly really how desperate you are to negate from that.
If people dont like the fires they start, they shouldnt start them. Why when you get challenged for it do you try to gaslight the righteous responsible members of society for doing so? Thats all this. Starting fires and then through mob mentality and its pseudo-anonymous benefits believing you wont be isolated from the group and reprimanded while the group gets disbanded slowly but surely.
I have studied these areas for almost a decade and a half, a decade and a bit if you count my "official" academic years. I deal with this kind of stuff on a weekly. Its my bread and butter and the field of social psychology and sociology (kinda) lap this stuff up for breakfast. Its what many people wake up to immerse themselves in. Thats why it happened, only the worse among us woke up to enact the environment that spurs on the behaviour en masse. Then it spreads like wildfire as per mind contagions do.
