When you converse with westoids you know some of them aren’t dumb as bricks and actually question some things. But when it comes to questioning the mainstream narrative it is like they turn their brains off.
I was watching kurzgesagt and The hated one and they have a few political vids that make you die of cringe. These two very informative channels are fucking braindead when it comes to mainstream narratives. Probably the same case with every other good westoid channel.
Are westerners inherently dumb or something?
I think its just that their brains are wired to not question certain things. This was my experience growing up in the west and being a liberal leftist. While i was against capitalism and for communism, i just wasnt taught to question mainstream narratives on socialist states. I just thought they were undeniable facts and anyone who said otherwise was a flat earther type conspiracy theorist. It just felt obvious to me, like the sky is blue, its just obvious, questioning it is crazy. But then i stumbled upon “Loyal citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul”, and it changed me. The lies about the DPRK suddenly unraveled before my eyes. So i thought “if the claims about DPRK are false, what about the ones about USSR, Stalin, China, Putin, Assad, etc”. I researched and read a lot during 5-6 months, and arrived to where i am, convinced marxist leninist. All it takes is for the unfalsifiable bubble to burst and the gears turn on, bringing you outside of the western narrative.
We have such a similar experience it feels eerie lol
It’s by design. That framing is how they keep people uninformed and advocating against their own interests
