Making The Masses

“Making the masses” It amazes me at how willingly programmed children are. I recently asked a group of high school students a series of questions ” conspiracy theories” is what they called them. The group consensus from twenty high school students on all of them were in total agreement that I was wrong. For example; I asked them was global warming a real threat or a made up story to push a agenda. The out rage at me questioning such a thing was instantaneous, “*laughter* YOU THINK GLOBAL WARMING IS FAKE?!! *laughter* ” This kept on for about ten minuets actually developing into a bulling tactics and name calling, Pressure on me that I should tow the line and agree with everyone. Not a single student gave me any evidence or examples other than the manufactured ones that the schools have spewed to these kids since they were in elementary school. ( glaciers are melting, forest fires, its getting hotter, cus its a scientific fact!) I asked them to make me a believer and show me proof!

The next question I asked was; The moon landing in 1969 real or fake? The shock and open mouths was deafening. ” OF COURSE WE LANDED ON THE MOON!!!” I then told them that there is some controversy whether we ever made it to the moon, and has been for some time. Recently Dmitry Rogozin of Russia commented – “We have set this objective to fly and verify whether they’ve been there or not,” said Dmitry Rogozin in a video posted Saturday on Twitter. I also commented about my doubts, especially since it was a race against the Soviet Union. We were trying to show military strength and superiority. I commented, lets put you in 1969 cosmonaut outfit, and launch you in a early rocket designed by Wernher von Braun that had no real plan for a safe return… Would you trust the technology? Or would it be easyier to set up a big spectacle of a rocket launch, then film the rest in Hollywood and claim victory!  The pack mentality except for one student ensued… The one student did extensive research and attempted to convince me that I was wrong. I am very proud of his independent thinking, and his persistence to find the truth, whether agreeing with me or not.

The point of the exercises that I do with these students is a critical thinking, think for yourself, dont tow the line learning. The public school system has been feeding the kids a steady diet of what the government construes as  facts. They have stopped engaging students, students have stopped having their own opinion. The group think/ bullying if you do not tow the line has created the heard mentality.

The point of this story is, I am very worried about the sheep mentality of our kids and young adults. We need to start engaging kids about very important subjects. I simply was asking these questions because I knew I would get a quick and easy reaction, versus a talk about politics. If we can engage kids and turn the narrative around, that the liberals have been feeding these kids for far to long, maybe this country can last one or two more generations.
