Are people too stupid to be free, or too gullible?
Are they the same thing?
In defence of the ignorant masses, they have been deliberately dumbed down and corrupted by lust and greed.
People don’t learn anything they are not taught, and people are not taught to be responsible and informed citizens.
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” – Thomas Jefferson

With great sadness, I have concluded, based on many years of beating my head against the wall with know-nothing know-it-alls, that the vast majority of American citizens are just too stupid to remain free today. Unlike our nations Founders, or our Greatest Generations, current U.S. generations are simply no longer suited for freedom and liberty.
I know, it’s politically incorrect to use the term “stupid.” But as I explained to my kids, ignorance is the absence of information and knowledge. Stupidity is when you know better but do it anyway!

The zio-british government commissioned psychologist hans eysenck to do intelligence tests on children in the UK he found white children were far more intelligent but black kids were more sporty
so after the london race riots, it was determined to have ” positive discrimination ” to help black children catch up
but to do this they dumbed down the white kids
i saw many white kids leaving school at 15 and 16 years old unable to read or write
this means the government could the say
ah white kids are too azy to learn we have ti import in more foreign nationals to do the work
The other point is that black adult men do not stay in relationships
i am a counsellor for many in the london black gangs
and almost all have no father
white girls should take this on board as almost all white mothers with mixed race kids have no father at home
“The vast majority of American citizens are just too stupid to remain free today”.
They were never free in the first place. I don’t know when they ceased to be free. When you don’t know, or have some idea of what is going on, then you are living in the matrix of lies and false realities. If you mentally reside in a false reality, by definition, you aren’t free.
I believe I make a good effort to know was is going on. I could do much better, but then, I wouldn’t have a normalish life, but there’s nothing normal about me, because I can’t be my normal self when I interact with thicko sheeple.
When I say ‘thicko sheeple’, I don’t question their basic intelligence. Some sheeple are cleaver, but they still have implanted belief systems, and just as they get scammed, usually with savings or pensions, their prejudices get the better of them, and they have mug tattooed above their top lip, and thicko on their forehead. Through greed, they get sucked in by the scam, and they do this everyday with the fake news or political lines.
How many Brits or Amerikans consider, or as I do, wince at the fact their /my taxes are being used for war crimes, genocide, and willful destruction of distant lands?
The NWO treatment, financially, and politically, is an attempt to genocide the Russian sheeple, although Russian sheeple do have a better leadership and on balance, their actions are more moral, IMHO, and justified, because debt free, mega resources, with amazing prospects, it is their right to be the best they can be.
Thicko Western sheeple simply don’t grasp what they are supporting, and what they are paying for.
I think ‘thicko sheeple’ is a pretty mild lable. It is what it is. BN was ranting about Jews grooming their little lambs. I don’t give a toss about these sheeple, or their little lambs. Any one who has a functioning brain, and can read (I know many can’t), they have the gifts to be mentally free.
I’ve made a kind of friend in Scotland. They are shy, they are what you might call a ‘country bumbkin’, but they have a better grasp of what is going on than many of the so called, ‘Highly educated’. I would put this down to a meager education that has allowed them to see events for what they are.
I, and maybe you, can’t make our way though our short lives, bending over backwards to accommodate the thicko sheeple. Biden, his deep state, the UK deep state, they are dangerous, but the thicko sheeple masses, are way more dangerous, because this is why we’re on the brink of a hot WW3.
Take note: where are the peace protests, where are the middle class (not) professional activists, where the feck are they???
We’re on the brink of being completely expunged, obliterated out of all existence, and no one (it appears) is interested, no one understands how the UK, US and NATO engineered the Russian actions in UKraine.
As I said the other day, that military behind Putin were demanding a big escalation from SMO, to a full blown war in UKraine, and days later, there’s signals in Moscow and fake news stories saying this big change in status is coming. Make no mistake, if Russis changes their status in UKraine, then the destruction of UKraine could happen, including Kiev. And once again, I think Putin got it wrong. If tactical nukes had been used on day seven, this war would be over. Maybe now, Russia will use nukes.
You can’t educate someone to be stupid. If you think you can, then you no doubt believe that the people in the disconnected places are stupid because they can’t spout Virgil. A stupid person is someone who’d rather chop down a tree than walk around it. No, what you have in the public is greed, gluttony, selfishness and perversion, and the media has been teaching that ever since it began. And this idea of a citizen:
“people are not taught to be responsible and informed citizens”
Did it ever occur to any human anywhere that some people don’t want to be ‘citizens’? You’re born in some place and you grow up and at some point you realise what it means to be a ‘citizen’, but by then it’s too late. You’re already assumed to be one. No one asked. You never “signed a piece of paper”. You are one. Or else.
I never wanted to be a ‘citizen’. And now I’m a bona fide prisoner of ‘my’ country — a country which I hate.
This tells you what happens when Society gets WOKE, initialized by Jews :
WORD ON THE STREET: Ford fired it’s entire EV engineering department
580 engineers and their support in total
Rumor has it that the Mustang and Bronco were so bad they scrapped the entire EV project and are starting over from scratch. There is a report that mentions 580 layoffs of mostly engineers and a restructuring of the EV part of Ford but no one in the MSM is mentioning what word on the street is, and that is that Ford went anti white male “woke” for the EV project which as a result ended up being such a failure that they had to wipe out the entire thing like an etch-a-sketch. Back to square ZERO, not even square one.
This is at a very bad time because there are mandates that need to be met and if Ford can’t hire the right people to do it, they are going to go bellyup. I’ll give a hint:
IF FORD IS TO SUCCEED THEY NEED TO HIRE FIVE (5) OLD SCHOOL WHITE MALES WHO ARE OVER 50, LET THEM WORK AS AN ENTIRELY SOLO GROUP. 5 OF THE RIGHT OLD SCHOOL WHITE MALES WOULD DO THE WHOLE DAMN THING IF THEY DID NOT HAVE TO DO CONSTANT REBUTTALS TO “WOKE” BULLSHITTERS. AND DO NOT LET KAREN HOVER OVER THEM, TURN THEM LOOSE. MUSK SOLO’ED THE TESLA. WTF DID FORD NEED 500 “U.S. salaried” H1-B ENGINEERS FOR? TO WRITE SPAGHETTI CODE??? Ford is gonna crash like an H1-B created 737 if “Awake” does not replace “woke”.
FORD NEEDS TO FACE THE FACT THAT “WOKE” WON’T CUT IT WHEN “WOKE” HAS TO DO SOMETHING ALL NEW, NOT BASED ON THE WORKS OF FANTASTIC WHITE MALES THAT CAME BEFORE “WOKE”. Either Ford sucks it up and admits what made them great to begin with or ford DIES. It is as simple as that.
If ford does not wake up from being “woke” here is what I will say in the near future: “Woke” Ford died and I did not cry . . . . .

but by bodymass they are way ahead, not to mention amazing intelligence on par with crows and rhesus monkeys, can figure out how to open food packages even faster.
SAVE THE WHALES!
“People are too Stupid to Be Free”
You’ll get NO argument from me… particularly when it comes to THICK Brits… 🙄
“If tactical nukes had been used on day seven, this war would be over.”
If tactical nukes had been used on day seven we’d all be dead by now, and so would all the russians. When (not if) one of the lunatics in charge (as opposed to the lunatic masses) presses the button, all the other buttons will be pressed. Some tiny countries in south america may survive the initial blasts, but the fallout will get them too. All those muppets on here that say nuclear missiles are fake — LOL. And the unwashed masses are supposed to be the “thickos”.
One of the very few excellent articles that exposes the ignorant state of THE UNITED STATES.
SPIRITUAL DEAD SOCIETY AND THE PHYSICAL DEATH WILL SOON FOLLOW.

SO MORE FAT SO MORE STUPID !
Carl Jones you always make sense to me. Getting attacked as i do by family and people in general when i comment on msm the other side to a story they shout and scream their small controlled minds at me just yesterday i was kicked off microsoft news for saying ukraine attacked the russian speaking people in ukraine sine 2014 they all reported me for daring to say the truth and after i was banned they all congratulated each other on getting me banned. They have no doubt done me a favor as it seems pointless interacting with idiots
nuke me big boy: please don’t be a silly Billy.
A small tactical nuke, used on Mariupol would of left it no worse than it is today, and some of these nukes are much cleaner than those used on Japan.
The fact is, Putin got it wrong from the start. It should’ve been a proper invasion, and the main regime buildings in Kiev and other big towns and cities should’ve been destroyed from the start.
It was a mistake to put Russian forces outside Kiev with no intention of taking the City, only to hold UKraine Nazis in and around the city. Russian troops were outside Kiev 3 days in, and did nothing.
Now, Russia looks like they are going to call it a war, and that means big changes, least of all, Russian military hawks have won the day. And I still think there’s a high chance nukes will be used.
There’s strong speculation that Poland will enter Western UKraine, Russia will hit them if they do, and the US will do nothing. More likely the UK will send troops to fight Russia, because its the UK who wants WW3.
If, there’s going to be a wider nuclear war, the UK will be in for some extra special treatment. If they have one viable Sarmat, it will be heading towards to UK.
What’s new? The masses have been morons since the beginning of society. As long as a white-created nation institutes a monoracial State then this topic of the ‘moronic masses’ doesn’t have much relevance–for they would be indoctrinated to be prowhite fascists.. The primary purpose of the ruling Fascist Intelligentsia is to protect the health/existence of the race by prohibiting the ingress of Jews, Afro-Asian apes & other racial riff-raff into the nation, thus preventing the downfall of the State & race–whether they remain morons or not is irrelevant, but inculcating them with the correct perspective is important…
Yup, we lard-arse Amurikans sure are dumbed down and stupid after generations of being constantly fed fake history, fake science, fake news, fake elections, fake politicians, fake nourishment, fake food, fake religion, and fake morality. Huyuk, hayuk … we are so stupid we don’t even deserve the freedom to own anything anymore, like our farms, houses, pickups, toasters, and all those those things our higher ups wanted us to buy to make them more and more rich and powerful over us. We are so stupid we don’t deserve even the freedom to know what they are injecting us with, or to say “no” to anything they say or else they may terminate all of our privileges and then us. Huyuk … I guess we are so stupid now like the fat cows they have made us into that we don’t deserve any freedom any more. Yup, we have to do exactly what the higherups say because they have taken such good care of us all of these years, to make sure we don’t do anything stupid like waking up from all of their wonderful corporate media and government brainwashing and terminating them.
My only beef with this piece is when the author bleated out this turd, “I know, it’s politically incorrect to use the term ‘stupid’.” Politically incorrect?!? That the author did anything but mock and attack the whole bad idea of “political correctness”, a toxic cancer that is an enemy of truth and freedom, shows he is not immune to the stupidity he so readily points out in others. No sensible person should give the least bit of credence or validity to a program of control, i.e. political correctness, that should be relegated to the dustbin of bad ideas post-haste.
There is SO much wrong in that photo at the top I don’t quite know where to begin. Fat dad with his disgusting giant gut, face diaper, and shabby outfit is completely without dignity and needs to be removed from the gene pool. The poor kid with him is also exhibiting signs, even at such a young age, of developing a barrel torso soon to be a vat of blubber. Then the coup de grâce is, of course, the nauseating overstuffed tub of sludge simian street ape, who looks like 400 gallons of sewage forced into a 100 gallon capacity sack.
Face diapers have been a rare sight in my area for well over a year and a half now and there were plenty, like me, who resisted the slave mask of gullibility from the start of the covid-1984 war against humanity. It has been to the point at which anyone here seen with a diaper strapped to their mug is a clear sign of derangement on their part, signaling the sensible among the population to give the loony a wide berth.
I had one such sighting this week. I was away from home all week for a work assignment that took me to the St. Louis area. The location fortunately turned out to be a rather decent close suburb of St. Louis rather than in the depths of that wretched city itself. Anyway, there wasn’t a face diaper wearing lunatic imbecile to be seen UNTIL a colleague and I were returning to the hotel after dinner and a couple drinks in a crowded restaurant of diaper-less freedom lovers. Checking into the hotel was a 40-ish woman with an attractive figure and looked great from behind. Then I got a look at the front and saw she was sporting one of those absurd cone-ish N95 face diapers. My colleague and I literally laughed and shook our heads. I saw the same woman the next morning in the hotel fitness center, where she was on the treadmill with, yup you guessed it, a diaper still strapped to her face. I imagined her best course of action in life at that point if she were THAT far gone would be for her to go to the roof of the hotel and throw herself off.
Early on, the colonists in America could read at high proficiency, including law, write well, handle their own contracts and law suits, etc.
There wasn’t much to read in those days: Blackstone’s Commentaries, Shakespeare, the Bible… All requiring 12-13th grade reading level.
All without compulsory public education, which was the Marxist foot in the door and very good for the Jews.
The fact is that people are not free. The elites (the chosen) have long realized that stupid people are not worthy of freedom, which is why they have created a false facade of democracy. The two-party paradigm is just an emotional seesaw which keeps the exploited masses obedient and engaged.
Proud Amerikan: I’ve met thousands of Amerikans in my time, and from all walks of life. From a humble Miami nurse, to billionaires.
There are Amerikans, who come from all hoods, and some are very clued up. But they live in fear, and I do not exaggerate, because one slip of the tongue, and their lives are literally in the dumpster.
I remember talking to one Irish investment banker who lived in so called middle class Amerika. After 9/11, the US sheeple seriously got into adorning their homes and gardens with multiple flags and draping US bunting all over the house and garden. One day he was approached by two neighbours, who kindly laid into him, why he wasn’t complying with the sheeple code of practice.
He felt so uneasy, threatened, that he went straight to Wallmart to buy one if these BIG patriot box deals. So he covered his house in crap, because he travelled a lot, and he feared for his families safety.
I mentioned a nurse. She was black, and she was totally clued up. She and her wider family used to come to Europe every year to soak up the culture.
So, not everyone is a sheeple, but many are trapped, and they can’t even talk about it. And this was the case in pre WW2 Germany. They knew Hitler was bad, but they did nothing, out of fear. Maybe there are Brits who feel this way about Boris, but stay silent?
To be honest, i feel like an alien in the middle of my surroundings – family, friends, colleagues – almost all of them are tripple vaxed, deeply hypnotized and dumbed down by TV, fake news, entertainment…If i ever try to explain something, i’m the one who is evil, deluded and deluding. The world nowadays feels like a very bad acid trip to me and only death will be the final liberation from this insanity.
Greene is a Jewish name; calling the rest of the population stupid or “thicko sheeple” is some sort of wank, a bit like expressing a wish to use nukes on some part of the Earth when you yourself never even learned your own language.
@ heinrich
Ford need to hire those guys from the 60s in nasa. They really knew how to roll ’em.
There are many causes for the collapse of the West mainly because we have allowed our inferiors and enemies to rule over us as Ezra Pound stated “democracy” allows the jews to rule. After years of trying to wake people and campaigning for nationalism i came to the conclusion that separation is the only answer a South African friend says that they are looking at a Boer Republic maybe some Americans can resurrect Aryan Nations ? But Europe is lost apart from a number of French and maybe Hungarians but thats it. Covid and Ukraine has just shown how stupid the Goy are, Natural Law will have its way.
“Are people too stupid to be free, or too gullible?”
Most people by default believe in freewill and freedom. They think if they ditch the idea of freewill, then no one can be held accountable. That’s because they have misunderstood everything. They believe power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely; and lack of freedom translates to slavery! There you have it, Satan won! With such a mindset you are his foot-soldier, battle of hearts and minds already lost!
So what is the alternative, you may ask!? I have explained in details, but going to give you a compact version:
Human “Will” or Awareness is perpetually and continuously under the effects of forces of attractions and to a much lesser degree forces of repulsion. By default all around us there are things that our “current self” likes or prefers, but at the same time we can imagine our own improved next version, our “future self” which we can only reach by abstaining from lesser attractions and moving towards further distant and dimmer attractions.
Human is constantly bombarded and bamboozled by immediate closer attractions (pleasures and comforts) so much so that we are blinded to the stronger pleasures and attractions that are distant and so appear dim and less interesting.
In this sense we are slaves of what we like now, and to move towards what we may like in the future we need to let go and look away and abstain… in short we need “Willpower” and that is primarily developed by abstinence and other forms of resistance and non-indulgence. In yet other words, we are slaves of our current version which is an inferior version of ourselves!
Note that a will that has no power is essentially no will at all. Our choices that are in sync with our current self require no resistance. What about freewill you may ask again?! Well our will is never free from what it likes in its current version. And as clarified we are never free, in fact when you become your improved version, you will have a new target, your next version yet! For this reason, any man who becomes “content” with what he has or what he has become is invoking the wrath of God on himself!
The biggest sin (self-harm) is to be “content” at any given moment. But Satan in religious velvet silk robe comes to you and says: “But greed is bad! Be happy with what you have! Greedy will burn in hell!”
Jesus ع would then come to you in bloody tattered rags and say: “Greed is only bad if you want the same crap all the time! Why are you so content, you should have all the greed there is to reach God.”
Please pay attention to what I am about say:
Similarly freedom does not exist, there is only power. What you seek in truth is independence. The missing piece of puzzle in this equation is: “Sacrifice of Power”… God, Divine Leaders or any man and woman of understanding would Sacrifice his/her Power to protect independence of his loved ones, subjects and slaves!!!
You ask then: “WTF, you just said Slaves, even if I let go of freedom concept that does not mean you can brain wash me into believing in slavery!!”
Calm down! Take a deep breath…. now… Let us clarify!
There is no escape from Slavery…. because of unavoidable Power and Domination Hierarchies. Some of it is easy to understand. You maybe a doctor, but to get your car fixed, you will have to trust a Mechanic and pay him. This is all over the place, we can’t be specialized in every field. Besides naturally we are born having a father and mother, and young children are truly their slaves, yet due to love, it is father and mother that are slaves of their children.
So as in Master and Slave, slavery is not a bad thing at all.
Watch out wise words ahead: It is not a loving act to free/release/neglect your slave/child/creation unless after your have empowered him/her/it.
Again, a man/woman of understanding is one who “Sacrifice his/her Power” to protect the independence and well-being of his/her subjects/slaves.
Now this language and figure of speech may seem weird at first, after all you have lived your entire life with mental idols such as: Freedom and Freewill and Knowledge, etc… delete these fake shadow concepts and your mind calculates much faster with clarity!
If by “knowing” you do not imply “seeing” then your knowledge has little value. Correct definition of knowledge is: An intermediary (such as text) to transfer sight or angle of view to others.
By now you should understand that our Will can only be independent if it is powerful. Human core/soul/will/awareness has two primary and basic functions:
1- See
The domain of logic, wisdom and witnessing the truth. The pitfall here is Duality.
2- Seek
The domain of pure absolute love, abstinence from lesser loves and pleasures. The pitfall here is Freedom.
You don’t need any other confusing concepts such as: Belief, Believing, Knowing…so that then you have to deal with blind-belief and blind-knowledge…the fight between heart and mind, etc…. just ditch them all.
You need to think, understand and see using divine/real lexicon and locution. Key words are:
Power, Willpower, Independence, Master, Slave, etc… If you are really that allergic to the term “slave”, use “disciple”, but that term does not do justice!
There is a lot more on politics, the concept of Imam (divinely chosen human leader), but that will take many more pages. Besides you should have a lot to sink in. And some may argue that I am very arrogant! They might prefer Les Visible who advocates “I don’t know” approach as a sign of humility and being down to earth. Suffice to say I am a slave myself my neck was created thin so that my head would be chopped off easier in the way of my master. What arrogance? The glory of the banner under which I swing my sword demands such self-assured style of writing!
Did any of you read my comment on Freedom of Speech VS Power of Speech!?
My two rials
If I didn’t know better, my two rials, I might easily have taken your fascinating post as an exposition of Bushido. There are elements of Shinto and Confucianism in your advocacy.
Yes, we are all enslaved to something, some idea or entity or person or thing or whatever. But do not think slavery is just for us “little people.” In fact, there is a saying about those who are the most enslaved think they are free (sorry forgot who said it), and guess who thinks they are the most free? Why, the criminal psycho elites! Therefore ipso facto, they are the MOST enslaved! Are just what or who are they enslaved to? SATAN, who does NOT give you a choice!
“In defence of the ignorant masses, they have been deliberately dumbed down and corrupted by lust and greed. ”
No,,, the info is out there. They are willingly ignorant and lazy. No quarter from me….

@andyay
It seems you’ve not read any of my comments against Duality in thought. I am against duality based eastern religions of Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism.
Duality in Opposition is easy to understand, but when you understand Duality in Unity you would never think of Yin & Yang as the key to understanding the entire picture; there is even clear evidence of Duality in Unity in the physical world. Furthermore there is no reincarnation (only one type can exist) as believed in these duality based religions. This can be proved in a couple of effective ways, particularly by the logic of Essence-Time (in contrast to Space-Time) argument.
I also believe in importance of selfless emotions, whereas the aforementioned religions categorize all emotions as egotistic emotions. I’ve explained the issue of emotions before. And also explained the fallacy of the Greek philosophy of “balance” too.
So you tell me on what matter do I agree with them exactly!?
Forgot about Karma… yeah I usually speak of Collective Karma to show the weakness of this idea. So as you see on every major point I have disagreements with these religions.
In dumbing-down, dysgenics over several generations is more important than hiding facts and spreading lies, so I am not interested in the elite’s targeting of the masses on the grounds that they are now unaware–THEY did this, so they can live with it and I am not “nuking” anything
Two world wars (‘kill the best of the goyim’) and decades of socialism (the appeal to individual greed and paying the worst to breed), have resulted in a sea of genetic garbage. The mass are fit only for extermination.
Two rials makes us dig into the bed-rock of logic where the West has not been for a while unless you read Hume, Kant, Leibnitz, the Scholastics, Russell, and some other philosophers, and it is not easy, but my personal version of Taoism has a yin, a yang, a medium, an origin and a solution, at each level and cannot simply be accused of dualism. I haven’t even decided that infinity, plus, zero, minus, minus infinity, should not be zero, minus, one, plus, and infinity. It is hard to juggle these unreal players which are the headings to the things I see as real, but I can say, at least, that the words “power” and “freedom” were both absent from my vocabulary but not my sentiments–rials might well be in some sophistry that serves Islam.
@ my two rials
The comparison I meant to draw was not of a theological nature. Bushido and Confucianism are not religions (although some would argue that the latter is.) Shintoism is polytheistic and pantheistic, so completely distinct, of course, from Islam. It was rather, certain attitudinal loci that seemed to me to be shared among the aforementioned. (I didn’t mention Buddhism, Hinduism or Taoism at all, though.)
It was in your philosophic proposition that contemporary notions of slavery are a misconstrual, that I discerned a likeness of perspectives. Neither Confucian nor Samurai would dispute any of your substantive contentions. They too, would similarly recognize the honour that there is in service and both also advocate for selflessness in defense of the maintenance of the order of things, in so much as it is within their delegation of responsibilities.
Although Samurai is usually translated as the “way of the warrior,” it is my understanding that this is an idiomatic rendering and that the etymological root for “samurai” derives from the verb “to serve,” therefore, “the way of service” is the more authentic nuancing. In the Samurai chivalric code, Bushido, the five key principles you list in your post; power, willpower, independence, master and slave are all absolutely central. They too might be unhappy about “slave” and would probably prefer “servant.” So I was thinking about a similarity in ethical prerogatives really.
I can equally perceive aspects of Stoicism in your words, you know.
Salaam.
@ heinrich
Do you have any sites or links about the truth on the Ford story ? Couldn’t find anything at Jim Stone .
Anonymous–turning the masses into garbage and then saying “Look! they are garbage, we should exterminate them!” is a double-whammy and not fair. How about “they lowered their standards, let us raise them again!”?
