      "One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. Its simply to painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves that we've been taken. Ounce you've given a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." Carl Sagan

      Only that the "evidence" is within each "creature", it's called "LIFE". It's not funny how some use their blessed faculties to dismiss the "Provider" of them. It can only mean that they are in service of "the disrupter" that produced all the confusions with the manipulation of "the written word" with the added love and admiration of the mayhem it produced, thereby creating leagues of "fallen angels", the "horns from a cheating wife, the "arrowhead tail" from the backstabbing and betrayal to "oneself".

In "researching" one need to be "unbiased", it was easy for me, since I started as a 10 y/o child, rather telling was "the forbidden", "the tree of knowledge", in "believing" man's convenient doctrines, the mind don't engage to let the Divine guide towards where "truth" can be found. Let Bill Maher be, we can only respond for ourselves, we learn as we go, hold no grudge nor take prisoners, the laws of "compensation" functions unabated.

That’s not how a dictatorship works, it’s how a democracy works. Dictators lie to your face and claim to win elections that they clearly lost. Trump claims to have won this election with his 72 million votes. But considering that Biden got over 80 million and 80 is more than 72, that makes Biden the winner. And the fact that you’re in here trying to claim total bullshit in an area where only real facts matter, that makes you a looser. IN MORE WAYS THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY COUNT.

    This cult was started (I’m editing this to fueled) by Fox News in 1996. My parents and my brother fell into it, watching Fox News from morning till night, and no other news. It was sad to watch and even sadder when Trump saw/seized the opportunity to be the cult leader. The cult was already created, ripe for his bullshit. I kept hoping they would see Trump for what he is, but it never happened. His following actually grew. It's the largest cult that ever existed and it terrifies me as to what they will do next. As Bill said, we just have to keep reminding them who they used to be and that there is a whole world out there beyond their television.

      Yeah, and we need to start complaining to the other news networks. I only see stories about how Trump is horrible and about the virus. There are other stories out there. By limiting the news to those two subjects we give the naysayers fuel to point fingers and tell their followers that the main news networks are bias. Just look at Fox News' website and you can see all sorts of stories even if half of them is B.S.

    • @vipertact
      @vipertact 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I agree however it was the bias of news networks prior to 96' that gave birth to Fox News.
      A more balanced media that separates facts from opinion when doing reporting, would not give conservatives the feeling they are being ridiculed and left behind.
      Those sentiments were the bed-rock on which Fox News was built.
      And Bill Maher himself addressed the fact that while conservatives argue their case in CNN, liberals won't set foot in Fox News.

      Fox(Faux) News isn't to blame for the beginning of the BS that we have inherited. That all started with "The Moral Majority" bullshit in the 1980's when they started threatening even good political leaders, brow-beating elected officials and brainwashing people into sheeple with it's damn commitment to constituency contacts. It went from spreading the bullshit and hoping enough stuff would grow to feed the sheeple to mixing and spreading the ashes of the political careers they destroyed in with their bullshit to finally not being able to wait for their lies to grow and bear fruit so they just started feeding the sheeple the ashes and bullshit directly and TELLING them on fox news that not only does it not taste bad-- it tastes good! And you want more of it! And what's more YOU should be feeding it to you kids too! They taught their lies so well that the next generation grew up believing them as the truth and that's how they've went from urging and thus getting Republicans to go from march stepping on the streets but on and on until they are now Goose-Stepping down every Main Street across America...

Things got noticeably worse as the Tea Party started to gain traction. It may have been 1996 or so when the R party got up and left the table - no more negotiating, only want to rule, no interest in governing. Ever since, Rs appear bent on sabotaging government so they can tell their cult it doesn't work.

    As someone who has been duped into cult membership, I can say that the method Maher is describing is effective. The more people criticized me or the cult, the more strongly I clung to the cult. However, when people showed compassion and through their good examples revealed to me that people outside the culture weren't lost or misguided but rather normal and even good people, it started to break down my conditioning. I would add one thing, leaving a cult is a long process. Indoctrination doesn't go away after a few acts of kindness. It takes lot of time, so be patient. I've been cult-free for almost 7 years now, and I still see the Indoctrination rear it's ugly head and I'm still working on reclaiming the person I was who they tried to destroy. Compassion really is the answer in most situations.
