RE: Are we all useful idiots ?

in #blog5 years ago

I believe that all those who support this or that ideology, or all those who strongly oppose this or that ideology, are useful idiots. Like all those who support a specific group of people, or all those who oppose specific groups of people.

Because they are manipulable, if someone is conservative (for example) it is easy for the rulers to deceive them with a dichotomy and predict what they will do. If someone is anti-conservative (on the other hand) the same thing happens. The same with all ideologies.

And if you support this or that specific person, it can be Trump or Putin, Hillary or Bernie, it does not matter, because you will be dogmatic, you will be a useful idiot, because these people can do something that hurts you, but you will accept it because you support them. On the contrary, if you are anti-them, you are manipulable because they (powerful people) only need to put their face in something that you thought was good to demotivate you.

We are all idiots, and useful for something. The question is whether we are idiots useful for others, or idiots useful for us, and if we fight for (or against) ideologies or for (or against) leaders/politicians, then we are useful idiots for others, if we fight for ourselves and for what we believe is right, then least we will be useful for ourselves.

I don't even know if is understandable what I said.

Sort:  

Yeah that sounds about right. Hell I might just be one of those useful idiots that always thinks everything is a scam myself.

Maybe I'm sort of like a flat earther - another one of those people who think they have some inside info when really I just have a pole up my arse making me jump up and down. Better not go there!
