Based on my many years of research, the average person seriously lacks in critical thinking. They just believe whatever crap the mainstream media tells them. The mainstream media is mostly propaganda. And the average person is very easily fooled by politicians and their lies. I believe 99% of people are just drones for the government. Basically just slaves to the government, believing in whatever the government tells them without critical thinking.
Only about 1% of the people really have critical thinking skills. These are the type of people who can see through the bullshit, and realize "hey that's just a bunch of bullshit. This is how things actually work". These people are often ridiculed for being "conspiracy" theorists or nutjobs. But majority opinion is not necessarily an indicator of truth. Many majority options have been proven to be false. For example, back in the middle ages everyone believed the Earth was the center of the universe. Even though everyone believed this, it turned out to be false, but the people saying that this was false, were ridiculed like Galileo.
Like the old saying goes, "the masses are asses". The masses are just easily brainwashed people who believe in whatever their leaders tell them without any critical thinking whatsoever. The masses are just smart enough to do a simple menial job, but too dumb to realize how badly they are being screwed over by big corporations and the rich people. They don't realize how badly underpaid or mistreated they are by big corporations for example. With those greedy frelling CEOs assholes making most of the money. These CEO assholes make 100 times more money than the average worker for basically doing nothing.
Of course, when the masses start to realize how badly they are being screwed over by big corporations and rich people, the rich people are protected by the police. And you can't even peacefully protest because these rich assholes have police protecting them. And they might even outlaw peaceful protests because they are such assholes.
Sorry to break it to you, we don't live in a democracy. We live in an oligoarchy which is ruled by a handful of rich people. The fact rich people are the actual rulers makes our country a plutocracy. Democracy is a joke. It never existed. And it probably will never exist. So spreading democracy through war in the Middle East is truly laughable.
I apologize for my pessimistic and somewhat angry attitude, but this is the crappy world we live in. The rich rule everything. The rich make the laws. The rich are your slave owners. This is a fact. Freedom my donkey. Mainstream media is the rich peoples' propaganda machine. And you are born a slave and forever will be a slave unless you join the super-rich class.
Capitalism is basically a pyramid scheme where a few rich people rule everyone else. The rich people have all of the power and wealth, and everyone at the bottom gets nothing. If that's not a pyramid scheme, I don't know what is.
So this concludes my rant. It went from talking about most people lacking in critical thinking skills to how society is unfair. But either way, life sucks. It really does. I sometimes want to end my life because I just think this world is such a terrible place to live in. There are really no opportunities for me to become rich and successful in this life.
I hate this world. I would just like it to end.
