The battle is in and about people's hearts and minds.

It is not even possible to comprehend the extent of brainwashing, except to the degree you have been delivered from it. I am more delivered than the most, so I also see more than the most. And I don't like what I see, it makes me sad and angry. Feels like young Moses Sad

The battle has always been about people's hearts and minds though hasn't it?

I think the sad thing for me is noticing, or perhaps realizing, that most people in the USA are so positive that they are "free" and they are completely clueless to the fact that this country has it's own propaganda. It is tragic really. And then if we say something against the norm we are laughed at and ridiculed and looked at as crazy.

Oh come on mods, deleting my posts when calling out nonsense like this? There is a reason "normal" people associate Bitcoin with "whackjobs" when conspiracy theory absurdism gets to be posted freely on these forums.

On the point of people believing they are 'free' / conspiracy. As I'm sure you know, propaganda is legal in the US.

The US Govt asked Sony to help counter ISIS propaganda

Of course, many people may be completely fine with this, but obviously, this isn't the only example of the narrative being determined for an explicit purpose.

In the end it all comes down to... Faith.

May it be with you fellow bitcoiners.
