'Why Victoria Nuland is not distributing sandwiches to the police and protesters like in Ukraine?'
I can see someone obsessed with control, attempting to keep people locked down by whatever means, thinking about paying people to stay home, and how that would have only one possible outcome. And for a while that may have been the case, but the thought occurred to me tonight, and I may be completely wrong here but, that one of the things that keep people from protesting en masse is the fact that they have a job to keep, a schedule to follow and a livelihood to withhold.
Strangely enough, it was just this automatic continuation of ordinary
life that hindered any lively, forceful reaction against the horror.
[...]
That still leaves the question why no individuals
ever spontaneously opposed some particular injustice or iniquity they
experienced, even if they did not act against the whole. (I am not blind to
the fact that this charge applies to me as much as to anyone else.)
It was hindered by the mechanical continuation of normal daily life.
How different history would be if men were still independent, standing on
their own two feet, as in ancient Athens. Today they are yoked to the
details of their work and daily timetable, dependent on a thousand little
details, cogs in a mechanism they do not control, running steadily on rails
and helpless if they become derailed. Only the daily routine provides
security and continuity. Just beyond lies a dark jungle. Every European of
the twentieth century feels this in his bones and fears it. It is the cause of
his reluctance to do anything that could “derail” his life — something
audacious or out of the ordinary. It is this lack of self-reliance that opens
the possibility of immense catastrophes of civilization such as the rule of
the Nazis in Germany.
I also hope I’m not creating noise on this thread.
Regarding the discussion about race and so on, fwiw, it seems to me there is another point to be made in addition to the many good contributions here: namely that there are many things that can be true simultaneously even though they may seem contradictory on the surface. This is because there are different levels from which to think about something, different perspectives. A psychologist I know called it the "big AND" - it's worthwhile sometimes to try to combine two aspects by saying "this is true AND that is true", and see where this leads.
Perhaps one way of looking at it is that the information field is multi-dimensional, which means that if you have one data point that is true, it doesn't necessarily follow that another data point cannot be true simultaneously, because they don't occupy the same realm so to speak. Or we could think of different perspectives from which to shine light on the object we study. There are different levels of analysis, and it's easy to mix them up and get confused. Again, sometimes it's important to hold two opposing views in mind without giving in to the urge to decide, once and for all, which is true and which is wrong. I think this is an important thing.
Cell phone users and ‘smart’ technology addicts ought to realize there is a ‘universe’ of unknowns regarding human health, environmental impacts and other damaging issues that will materialize as a result of 5G not being studied carefully and fully, but being fast-tracked by the inordinate use of devices we lived without until less than 25 years ago,plus a restrained non-disclosure of 5G capabilities, which the U.S. military uses as “directed energy weapons”
How up-to-date the map is I can't judge, but here is the link: 3G / 4G / 5G Abdeckungskarte, United StatesIt would be cool if we had a REAL map of 5G deployment in all cities worldwide, altho I would first want to see where is it in the US... maybe (I would bet on it if I had extra $$$) we could see a connection. If you havent heard EMFs can be used to make people more agressive! I read few years ago, before 5G tech was made public, that police and military use it to make their personnel more agressive and obedient.
An illustration of the NPC's total lack of ability to detect contradiction in the narratives programmed into them by the media.
I've heard some people speculating that many people on twitter, just do it for attention and reaction - perhaps for 'clicks'? They seem to like stirring up trouble deliberately.The unaware are unaware of being unaware.
Apparently MSNBC never aired the World War Z clip:
You're paraphrasing Leon Festinger from Theory of Cognitive Dissonance (1957). I love the quote.The unaware are unaware of being unaware.

The original quote, to the best of my knowledge, is:Thanks!! I heard the phrase many years ago, but never knew its origin.
Others have riffed on it, such as Bruce Lee:"If you are unaware, you are unaware of being unaware."
"Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light."
