In my humble opinion, you’re brainwashed. That’s okay. I used to believe everything my government told me, too. Now, I believe NOTHING. I do my own research and go down that very ugly, very dark and scary rabbit hole.

Cognitive dissonance is an interesting animal Mark. Because, once you realize and understand that you’ve been lied to about something, you ask what else have I been lied to about?
And that is my experience. I’m 60, and I know I’ve been lied to about everything I was told is true and right. It is mostly, if not all, lies. The powers that shouldn’t be know exactly what they’re doing.
I know that the US government has lied (or distorted, twisted, exaggerated, or whatever) about many things, especially in the last three years.... and just about everything Covid.
But unlike you, I don’t believe that everything is a lie.
An interested party (fiction author, reporter, political operative, etc) can take any pile of temporally related evidence (public documents, event and appointment records, surveys, press releases, budget papers, recollections of those involved, etc) and build a case to ‘prove’ just about anything that they want. But just because someone can invent a scenario that explains something (or everything) doesn’t necessarily make it true.
I’m pretty picky about which rabbit hole I jump into because not all conspiracy theories are equal.
And I think that we’ve had this conversation before ....
He has a new nickname, I call him the $10,000 dog due to his impending surgery and his surgery about a month ago (he’s had a tumor in his mouth removed and more needs to be done in January). The vet tells me that his prognosis is very good and there should be no lasting issues.
But I’ll tell you something. I wouldn’t trade him for anything in the world.

There are no words for the insanity of humanity.
I don’t fully believe anything my government tells me, especially since Covid. And I don’t believe ANYTHING that comes from Hamas or Iran.
I don’t believe every conspiracy theory that I read either.
Some rabbit holes have a little truth in them, and some seem to have a lot.
But the majority of rabbit holes are just full of sh*t.

And it works (for most)!
It’s not “cognitive dissonance”.

Okay Mark! Can I please have your dog? 😉💕
Be careful what you wish for.

I simply couldn’t do it.
:)
Precious “fur angel”! He’s adorable…unconditional love!
When one of my cats was sick years ago, I would have sold everything I had for him. Animals teach us so much! God gave us animals for a reason.
Healing blessings to your baby!
