FULLY recognizing (even to yourself) your gov't is responsible for genocide takes (1) a high degree of intellectual integrity and (2) ability to take negative social pressure in your stride. Neither (1) nor (2) are too common in people especially not (2). Also in order to come to the TRUE conclusion you must be "half-way" there, so the distance between your reading of reality to where you are now (in your mind) is not too big. When you put these 3 things together you can see why it is not straight forward for person X to come up with factual info as it is. All this WITHOUT the massive propaganda which they mount from the other side - which has all legacy professional media on their side - with no limit to the amount of money or expert psychological warfare which they have tons of experience with - this is literally their profession - controlling our beliefs. With every new disaster this cycle of battle on our minds begins all over again - to those who are still "on the fence".
Great discussion guys. Thanks as always for your efforts and perspectives.
The bubbles breaking is hopeful, and Alon made a good point that we are more mature - need a lot more shifting out of consumerism and dumbed down ness, but a good amount of people are lifting their heads up out of the sand.
