#brainwashed masses

“normie workers dont want to form collectives”

... source?

also thats largely meaningless under capitalism because propaganda/upbringing is obviously a massive influence on peoples attitudes

most women used to think voting/working was ‘unladylike’ and frowned upon it as well as early feminism

why do you think that was the case?

I just read a message I got from a fellow tumblr user “explaining” that bolsonarrogant of Brazil is actually a really good and honest guy, and I should ignore anything from that “communist” newspaper, The Guardian UK.  Riiiight.  I’m sure bolsonarrogant’s endless scandals and fuckups, including burning vast swathes of rainforest, ignoring science, insisting plague vaccines will turn people into alligators, and allowing/causing (it’s the same thing, really) the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Brazilians is all simply fake news.  First of all, a dear friend lives in Brazil, so I am well aware of what goes on there, and she is no “communist.”  Second, The Guardian is about as far from “communist” as a paper can get.  Shit, they *endlessly* ragged on Labour before the last UK election! Third, from all trustworthy accounts, bolsonarrogant is a sub-equatorial merkin von bankrupt analogue.  I pity everyone who buys into his thoroughly corrupt, ignorant bullshit.

I would also like to know how TF this person was able to send me that disturbing message (to which I was unable to reply!), seeing as I have msgs turned off for all but mutuals. WTF, tumblr?!

1 Religious effect creates brainwashed masses no concerns

Sane world is no longer submissive. People want freedom Religion creates brainwashed masses Sometimes religious effect takes on a lot. Once it happened to me when I was working in a Muslim country. I was doing well among the rest, till I said I am an atheist. All were shocked, ever since. It was not […]

Rick DID NOT sleep with Jessie and Michonne NEVER STOPPED being a bad ass and NEVER WILL.

Was talking to a co-worker today.  Nice girl.  And the following things came out of her mouth.  

- I don’t know if I want Michonne with Rick because everyone he’s slept with has died. - I don’t know, she was so badass...

Now...she’s a casual viewer.  Good grief, that brainwashing thing is real.  But, to clear a few things up--

- Rick only made out with Jessie.  One time.  And it was lousy. He DID NOT I repeat DID NOT sleep with her.  And if he had? The show/showrunner/directors/writers/everyone thought it was so unimportant/inconsequential, that they didn’t bother to leave one drop of evidence of the fact anywhere.  So that just circles back to RICK DID NOT SLEEP WITH JESSIE. - Michonne is STILL badass.  She’s hopping out of bed buck ass naked, wielding a sword and slamming basic bitches down like it ain’t nothing.  Then was up and at ‘em for the Savior raid.  Like, wtf.  I just don’t get it.

Does. Not. Compute.

"(S)he's the teacher, (s)he probably knows what she's talking about! Stop arguing." NO, FUCK. YOU.

Do you know I fucking hate? Blind trust and complete obedience. In the past few weeks I have been told off several times by my classmates for arguing points against teachers such as the use of "an" in front of words beginning with H such as hotel or hospital. We were talking about idiolect, dialects and the like and my English teacher genuinely believed that words beginning with H always had "a" instead of "an" in front of them. I made the case that while grammatically correct "an" has fallen out of fashion in speech, which I find disgusting. However I had a conversation with my teacher about this and after about five minutes a classmate of mine, let's call her "brainwashed sheep #81,000,000" or "BS" for short, piped up and screamed at me "shut the fuck up, *my name*, I think Miss knows a lot more about the subject than you, considering she teaches it." At this point I was angry. Especially as this happens in several subjects, a couple of times a week. The funny thing is I'm right 95% of the time and our friend BS knows about it. She evidently cannot deal with the fact that a student is of a higher intellectual level than the teacher and has a greater knowledge and understanding of many of the subjects that we are being taught. The problem lies in that students these days are not taught to be individual think for themselves, they are taught to blindly follow the person at the front of the room no matter what they say no matter how ridiculous they are taught to follow guidelines to the millimetre and to not ask questions. They are taught that whatever comes out of the teachers mouth is gospel and this is bullshit. I am so extremely happy with the way I was brought up because I was told to question everything I was taught not to be another brainwashed shoot in the horde of the human race I was taught to have a mind of my own and think for myself and it saddens me greatly that people these days just become another faceless statistic. I hope something is done about the education system in this country soon or we are just going to become the most pointless, most dependent on others and least intellectual country in the world, fuck that, Fuck this, fuck you all.
