why do people not have independent thought?

it seems nowadays if ur a democrat ora republican that you automatically believe in everythign they spew. whether its the death penalty, taxes, immigration, healthcare, ubi, etdc.

People don’t have patience for nuance anymore. So everything must fit in heuristic soundbites as there is more information than ever to process for the average human. Ironically, this has created a reduction in dimensionality about the way we process this information, i.e., more information actually produces fewer distinct world views via sheer lack of mental bandwidth and processing exhaustion, and the result is party-line-vomiting, Kool-Aid drinking sheep.

They cannot all be Alpha thinkers like you, Nery. Most are Betas who want people like uncle Joe to tell them what to do, and they are destined to be muppets and cucks. I bet half of people haven’t even done two chicks on the same night on their buddy’s couch.

Echo chamber. Lack of diversifying news sources. Cognitive dissonance. News as entertainment. 24-hour news cycle. Clickbait. Russians. Geographic cultural disparity. Morons.

Not everyone has a very, very large brain like President Trump and many of his supporters!

I feel like the current political polarization and the hostility between the camps plays a major role. People seem to need to identify themselves with a group. Within these groups diverging opinions are frowned upon or not even tolerated. You’re with us or against us type of mentality.

i identify as mail because i receive a ton of it.

Funny that’s it’s not very contrarian to think every one thinks the same

actually. i posed the same exact question on reddit. and the majority said that its a loaded question to assume people think the same. then i busted out polls showing that people vote along party lines with various issues. and people still think they have independent thought. they’ll name an anecdote of certain instances where their beliefs run coutner to their party lines. its too silly.

also i read this interesting tidbit on lee kuan yew, which was the ex pm of singapore and imo is the greatest leader of the 20th century.:

tldr he accepts the gays yet will still persecute them if that’s what society finds acceptable

The first time Lee was asked a question publicly about LGBT rights in Singapore was during a CNN interview in 1998. The question was posed by an unnamed homosexual man in Singapore who asked about the future of LGBT people there. Lee replied that it was not for the government to decide whether or not homosexuality was acceptable; it was for the Singaporean society to decide. He also said he did not think an “aggressive gay rights movement” would change people’s minds on the issue. He added that the government would not interfere or harass anybody, whether heterosexual or otherwise.[128]

Lee next answered a question about homosexuality at a Young PAP meeting in 2007. The questioner was Loretta Chen, an openly lesbian young PAP member and a bilingual theatre director in Singapore. She asked if the current censorship rules in Singapore were too equivocal and where censorship was headed in the next two decades. Chen referred to a controversial play about Singaporean porn actress Annabel Chong which explored pornography and alternative sexuality. Lee was then asked if he believed homosexuality was a product of nature or nurture. He replied that he had asked doctors about homosexuality and had been told that it was caused by a genetic random transmission of genes.[129][130]

In Lee’s book Hard Truths to Keep Singapore Going, he was asked about homosexuality again. The questions touched on his personal views of LGBT, LGBT people adopting children and hurdles for LGBT Singaporeans. He was asked how he would react if one of his grandchildren turned out to be homosexual. He replied that he would accept his grandchild because homosexuality is a genetic code.[131] One of the questions asked was if LGBT couples could adopt children. He did not think LGBT people were suited to bringing up a child as they have no maternal instinct aroused by the process of pregnancy.[132]

I feel like this could have been posted any time over the last 2,000 years.

The idea that others don’t have independent thoughts, is not a independent thought.

Nery is clearly the great thinker of AF at the time. It’s a pity so many betas and cucks don’t appreciate his intellect, as they just want to reaffirm acceptance of their beta and cuckness.

i dont want them to appreciate my intellect. i want them to have better lives and understand how to think like a man. it comes natural to some, some need to work on it, and others look like they’ll be clueless forever.

the red pill mindset astounds me. they have their dicks attached but it seems they like any form of testosterone. its preposterone i tell you.

anyways, i saw a new porno genre called the blue pill. its essentially disgusting old men in their 70s paying for hot new pornstars that arent that well known yet. i hate to admit it, but i like it. i dont udnerstand why.

also i dont understand, so blue pill is blissfull ignorance of a fake life, while red pill is the hard truths. but there is nothing true about red pill. its just a warped mindset of beta males. while blue pill is getting what you want by paying for it, but im sure these old men know these young women have no love for them. i mean how could they, they lack vigor.

How much do they pay the cuck in cuckholding pornography to sit there and watch? I’ve always thought that’s one of those “earn your stripes” kind of duties you have to pay before you get to grow into a full on male pornstar.

^ you probably just get a sandwich or something when its over

I’m going to miss up voting you
