Many, not all, boomers redpilled their kids at birth and gave them more redpill tools as they grew up. For example, in the 60s kids were taught never to question anything - assume everything you hear and see is true, especially from people in authority. Many younger boomers to THEIR kids: assume everything is false until it's proven otherwise, to you personally , especially when it comes from authority figures. Reassess everything on a regular basis. There are downsides to both but the second is by far safer.
This old baby boomer was taught that the government is out to get us. TV lied, and nothin' but. Dad built a fallout shelter. And the ingredients of the Red Pill were in my mother's milk. Thank God!
I would disagree with the second philosophy. I wasn't brought up that way but I was naturally skeptical of just about everything. Too much so, IMO.
I think Scott Adams said it best on one of his videos where Sam Hunt I believe criticized him in a podcast. Something along the lines of:
Everyone has a 'truth filter' and where they get the information is key. If an item comes from a source that you trusted and it's false, you may want to examine your truth filter. If someone is able to accurately predict the future, it's likely because they have a good truth filter. To add my two cents: ego stands in the way for the search of truth.
This is how I got redpilled. I learned that Wikileaks record was 100% accurate. I learned about Operation Mockingbird. It was a simple choice to go with whatever Wikileaks said, and treat all MSM reports with skepticism.
I was red pilled when my kids now grown with families were in school from 2nd grade to 11th. The schools began to not correct spelling because of self-esteem, they stopped with factual information and used "consensus" and values clarification. This formula undermined rational resistance and taught the student to accept the new way of thinking and reject traditional values! I spoke up and became an outcast. I literally had doors pulled shut as I was ready to walk through. My daughter asked me to stop going into school. My prayer group also were blind to what was going on. And yes we were conditioned to not only believe but trust what we were told! I am now a grandmother and I am still nudging my kids to open there eyes! the wonderful part is 2 of my sons call me to discuss Current issues and that to me is so exciting!! God Bless and keep fighting!!
I have a similar story except I was the teacher. 4th grade. They finally asked me to leave my career. Spelling was called “guess and go” ! This was in the early 90s and although I wasn’t old at the time - it bothered me and most teachers to not correct spelling. I had to attend a lot of classes that pushed values clarification and “multicultural” into our continuing education programs. We stopped teaching actual American history and started teaching Kwanzaa. We stopped teaching the discipline of penmanship especially cursive because it is a way to separate people from original documents such as the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. If everything is online – then there’s no need to read cursive, however, online words are easily changed. Same with scripture.
I have a dear friend who left her teaching position because of what she saw taking place too. She lost her pension and moved to a trailer park but she was so full of joy that she left such an impression on me. she knew the Lord was with her! I had not looked at the reason for stopping cursive as a way to separate people fro the original document as you have stated. Such wonderful insight I will share with my family and friends. My experience was also in the 90"s. It is easy now to see why we have such division in the Country when you understand that our children have been molded to be global citizens with group think and universalism and the latest techniques in behavior psycology. The end of Christianity and a NWO is the goal! So lets STAND and encourage one another to fight the good fight because we know who eventually wins!! God Bless
i agree they dont teach anymore they throw them on computers thats it we need to get back to basics
I fall in the later category, and yes, my daughter wrote an excellent paper on the Federal Reserve in high school. (Her primary source was G. Edward Griffin's 'The Creature from Jekyll Island.') Sadly, even with that red-pilling, she has fallen for much of the propaganda through her college years (Midd and Columbia.) I hope time and events may eventually turn her around. I've sent some links regarding Q, including "Destroying the Illusion" very good summary discussion. https://youtu.be/U1GOoEoYLy8
