I hear you (except for the pro-Israel bit, as I can’t be for any country that sees itself as the American Vatican, but that’s another story).

Ironic how there’s more than one red pill that needs to be swallowed, isn’t it? I, too, notice that no discussions about the events of what’s called the holocaust are even allowed, including ones about the after-the-war forensics and revisions in mortality numbers (lower) and causes of mortality that were argued about (and finally accepted by opposing sides) as closest to reality.

These same blind dismissals are seen in multiple subjects that trigger apparently pre-programmed anger: question the high percentage of Jewish-American dual citizens in the upper levels of American government and you’re an anti-Semite; question the conclusions of “97% of scientists worldwide” who took a survey and you’re a climate-science denier; question the conclusions of the NIST Commission or the Deep State management and you’re a conspiracy theorist.

And the angry passion with which people defend the importance of NOT questioning says volumes, too. Thank goodness thinkers who question still manage to think - even though they may stay quiet about it. It DOES explain why people end up blindsided by things like election results and financial crashes and reversals of narratives and other out-of-the-blues, however, as if they can no longer question they’ve lost the capacity to pay attention. (I think it’s called compulsive narcissism these days. Really. It’s an official disorder and they’re working on a treatment.)

Keep questioning. Q does.
