I know many intelligent people still unable to swallow the red pill.
It's not through their lack of comprehension of concepts, or facts.
It's something more that 'stops' them from seeing reality.

It's a willful blindness that is more powerful than reality.

Maybe it's time to use some magic, to break the spell?
Living your life and making choices based in a belief in a delusion, is a magic spell of sorts, surely?

As many of us know, frustratingly - that logical argument and facts - presented to those in a state of delusion - seems to be like water of a ducks back.

And why wouldn't it be?

The delusion spell is engineered to do exactly that.

Logic and reason, are the wrong tools to break the spell...

The spell can be broken of course, when reality becomes more powerful than the spell cast.

Unfortunately the circumstances that can break the spell are extreme real world situations.
The spell is stripped away from the eyes of the victim.
Look at socialism to see this in real time.
Sooner or later the delusion spell is stripped away from the eyes of the victim, as no food appears on the table anymore, or no more petrol at the pumps.
Reality will always break the spell eventually.

The trick right now though , is the breaking of the delusion spell before extreme life situations force it to happen.

How to do this is not through logic. It's through emotion.

(time to learn some lessons from the left – I knew deep down that they must have a use, somehow...lol).

Victims have lost the memory of freedom. The intoxicating feeling of independence.

They have taken authoritarian security to replace the 'freedom feeling', and now take that as the default setting.
They have been duped into letting the emotion of fear installing itself over the excitement of life itself!

Excitement of life itself is the default operating system.

100 thousand years of human evolution tells us so.
'Whats over the next hill..?' has been the motivating factor to our evolution, not ' I don't want to know what's over the next hill'
Excitement, not fear...

It requires the evokation of that memory of 'feeling free' to overwrite the 'fear spell' cast of authoritarianism.

Emotions evoke memories, not dry facts.

The facts are for later, to be used to prise open that mental fissure that has been created by the emotional chisel.

I don't know the way to force this crack of memory open right now, (I've only just come up with this )...I'll leave that open for others to help with that one..

I DO know this is a valuable and powerful tool to be applied in the informationwar... Somehow.
