Are people sheep?

[anna180]

why can't people think for themselves

[Lliam]

Most are. They believe the "authorities" in government and on corporate media. They always comply. They never question. Obedience is virtuous.

They like being told what to believe instead of doing research, keeping an open mind, and using their powers of discernment and logic to formulate their own opinions. Heaven forbid! Following the consensus, even when it is manufactured, much easier.

Just call something a conspiracy theory and watch people avoid it like the plague. It doesn't matter how many so-called conspiracy theories have turned out to be true. It doesn't matter that conspiracy theorists are merely fact checkers who question official narratives in an effort to uncover the truth.

"Truth doesn't mind being questioned. A like does not like being challenged."

i just seen on the news an 11 year old being arrested for making a prank i think there is something not right about this. Many things are not right but this is the first example i can think of.

Hell yeah and this site is the proof.. If you read the answers to most questions, most people seem to agree with each other.. Nobody ever seems to question anything or think outside of the box. They just blindly follow everyone else. They do whatever society, their religion, or the media tells them they should do. People have kids because of societal pressure from their family, their religion, or because they see all of their friends having kids. People believe that they are supposed to follow this life script by going to college and getting a career, getting married, having kids, and owning that perfect house with the white picket fence. So many people conform because they can't think for themselves. They let society make their decisions and do their thinking for them. They feel that they have to do what everyone else is doing. I've never been one to follow the crowd. I've always questioned things on why they are the way they are.

"why can't people think for themselves"
Propaganda in government schools has suppressed logic and critical thinking and replaced them with "critical theory".

Are you in America? If so, listen to the Green Day song American Idiot, that'll answer your question.

[anna180]

no i am french yea this song and also byob by soad it explains a lot

[gorydetails]

I think the past 3 years proved that a lot of them are.

[anna180]

people are letting horrible things happen wake up everyone why are children being put in prison why are people homless why are migrants dying.

[gorydetails]

I mean you asked a bunch of questions. I can only answer one of them but th answer applies to all. You’re a bureaucrat in charge of homelessness in your city. You have a budget of 20,000,000, a staff of 200 people and you make $350,000 a year. If you could come up with the perfect solution to homelessness, you’d lose your job and 200 other folks would be out of a job. What is your motivation to end homelessness?

[anna180]

being a good person and doing something good for others. not everything is about money.

[gorydetails]

Yeah, that’s a nice phrase to say because it sounds good to virtue signal to your friends. You lose your salary, do you think your mortgage company will accept you saying “hey, you know I have no more income but I did good for others”?

[anna180]

whatever

If you’re using the worn out term sheep, you’re a sheep yourself.

[MementoMori777]

Nope I think I'm human 🤔

[HeartFullOfGlue]

Well God said we're sheep

[anna180]

sheep and jesus is the shepherd i think not the government and media is the shepherd

[HeartFullOfGlue]

Yes, but I think he meant we as people are sheep who are gullible and are willing to follow anything.

[anna180]

he also says we should be wise and beware of the tricks of satan who is like a roaring lion. the bible says many things but nothing about letting ourselves be brainwashed by a government or the media or an unfair legal system. the legal system isn't good. its the legal system that killed jesus in the bible.

[HeartFullOfGlue]

We're still gullible, God only described us. That was his advice.

[anna180]

i get what your saying but god gave us free will and a good brain as well

[HeartFullOfGlue]

And we are still gullible

[anna180]

lol some more than others.

[HeartFullOfGlue]

Yup, and that's what separates people

[astrophelle]
