Very true. They just have good social skills and or high charisma. You ever notice people love bad leaders though? Just look at any famous or notorious leader

It doesn’t say the second part lol

You fake intellectuals are stupid beyond belief, I’m not switching anything I always thought it was bad to listen to people. I was saying from the beginning people listen to others more than themselves. Also I never said listen to NOONE. You are just taking it to the extreme because you missed the first point in the first place. Also this isn’t an argument this is you all not getting that you can be a free thinker while primarily listening to your own instincts, intuition, and utilizing common sesne. Which was my complaint (people seldom do it) but that doesn’t mean listen to no one in the whole world. That’s why in my original post I never mentioned that extreme position.

That is a movie! Common sense is NOT referring to other people. It’s basically knowledge accumulated through observation, experience and obviousness (a dictionary will help to prove it’s closer to my explanation than yours). Like it’s common sense don’t put your hand in a damn fire. Good God, even you all seem like you are fiending to have others to tell you what to think.

People who think the Earth is flat listen to others; that’s why it’s regaining popularity as a theory. Even though it’s already disproven. I’m not saying it’s bad to listen to people ever, but they do not listen to themselves most of the time. Because they tune out their own intuition, ideas, and judgment. So those abilities are weak and lacking in them for never using them. If some of you don’t grasp this, you aren’t seeing reality in person. People are mimics, replaying the ideas of others. No original thoughts. I was trying to keep my post shorter, but next time I will go into maximum detail. Also, my emphasis was on people listening to incorrect people. Someone said there’s a difference between authorities and experts. A NASA scientist would be an “expert,” and they (governments, corporations, and universities) use experts as authorities in the field to push the idea or message, but that NASA expert is usually a lying shill for their masters or just incorrect.

Free thinkers who are responsible with research and actually getting to the truth would disagree. But I can see what you mean for the average lazy thinker who just believes something even their own thoughts without verifying it

I agree, only because the American people are weak (although ironically aggressive) people. They have contempt for their government but they listen to them wholeheartly - with complaints here and there of course. I actually hope the collapse is sooner than later. This has gone on for long enough

The immigrants are a scapegoat. “They are the source of your problems not us the government”. This tactic is nothing new. Some immigrants are indeed gang members but it’s a small percentage. Honestly though I think people are obsessed with Trump on a positive and negative perspective. This is also working great at keeping the population focused on themselves as the enemy instead of the corrupt government. The same gov that was corrupt during Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and biden. I’m hoping the American people get this soon or they are done for

Laws are created to keep peasants in check. While the people who created the laws break all of them.
