    I do know with certainty how you would or wouldn’t act in a situation like that, because you are a human being and human behavior is both predictable and programmable. Which the ruling class does. All the time. Because it is the truth whether you like it or not.

    You’re welcome to go read a psychology or a marketing book and find out all about it if you want. Go read a history book and go learn how regular, upstanding people just like you and me out in Germany got schnookered into supporting the wholesale attempted genocide of the Jewish people. Go step outside and go to a protest here, in the U.S. today and as they and the counterprotesters come to blows, try to convince yourself you’re anything more than a susceptible, imperfect, fallible human being like the rest of us.

    If you say you know with certainty you’d never support or commit genocide, you are saying you’re immune to propaganda, lies and manipulation. And misinformation while we’re at it.

    You are not a perfect person and you are just as capable of committing atrocities as the people you look down upon are.

    Humble yourself. Grow up while you’re at it.

      Chill yo. Humans are inherently good. None of us want to have a bad interaction. So we try to win-win cuz that’s the easiest and best outcome for both parties and for me. See?

        No you’re not. A cursory look at the world around us reveals that. Being told the truth might make you feel bad, but bad feelings doesn’t make a statement any less true. And I certainly won’t lower or debase myself by telling you what you want to hear.
