I have been thinking about the difference between evil and unknowing. It is to easy to characterize everyone as either good or evil. I think there is the unknowing. So there is good, evil and unknowing. I started thinking about it when that Kanye West spoke out.

Thinking about this, I'm wondering if the "unknowing" group is larger than the good and evil groups put together. Most people haven't a clue what we see every day here on FR and other conservative sites - they are, to some degree, trained robots that have been misinformed through their entire schooling years by teachers that also likely fit the bill of being "unknowing".

You're not babbling - you're on to something here.

Cognitive dissonance

In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort (psychological stress) experienced by a person who simultaneously holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values. The occurrence of cognitive dissonance is a consequence of a person performing an action that contradicts personal beliefs, ideals, and values; and also occurs when confronted with new information that contradicts said beliefs, ideals, and values.

In A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance (1957), Leon Festinger proposed that human beings strive for internal psychological consistency in order to mentally function in the real world. A person who experiences internal inconsistency tends to become psychologically uncomfortable, and is motivated to reduce the cognitive dissonance. This is done by making changes to justify their stressful behavior, either by adding new parts to the cognition causing the psychological dissonance, or by actively avoiding social situations and/or contradictory information likely to increase the magnitude of the cognitive dissonance.

More here, in short it is hard for them to come to grips with what is going on, fear of flying as it were

I know Wikipedia has it’s issue, this is the most complete description of the state of mind found typically among Blue Pill folk

The ‘unknowing’ group really do know. They have covered their eyes to avoid having to ‘SEE’ good and evil! The world would tell you and people want to believe that there are truly 50 shades of gray. There are not.

Christ tells us we are either for Him or Against Him. He also tells the scribes and Pharisees they are servants of their father the devil.

Paul tells us in Romans that we cannot live in God’s creation and not see that He is the Creator God of all! We cannot plead ignorance (unknowing) in the last day when we stand before the judgement seat.

Based upon these teachings, one may claim ignorance of good or evil, truth or lies, but as God’s created beings, in His image, with a free will of mind, body, spirit, we are without defense.

We are at a point where all must choose ye this day whom you will serve, Creator God or a cheap lying unsuitable imitation?

Thank You. Maybe the purpose of Q is the unknowing? Move them from unknowing to knowing, then they must choose a side.

...good, evil and unknowing...
______________________

While teachers, for example, can simply be showing their inculcation (altho I’m not convinced of that), Kanye West has been mega-successful and a billionaire for at least a decade. He’s married into the Kardashian Kabal. All the Ks get publicly nervous and upset whenever there’s a hint they may not be good little progs.

A thought: all members of the K Kabal are over-leveraged, even with their success. That means, they don’t still have those billions free and clear sitting in a bank vault and need to keep bringing in the millions in income from cosmetics and music production...both of which depend heavily on positive customer perception due to loads of competition.

Kanye has spoken out before...remember, he did so onstage and was suddenly whisked away to *rehab*. Lots of things to consider: he was slipped enough drugs to to need detox. He was not an addict, but was having his mind put right w/drugs that are not heroin. His debts may have been cleared as an inducement. He then looks at his present balance sheet and decides to spread what he knows now that there is a glaring spotlight on the industry and the controllers. He knows POTUS has his back.

I just don’t count him as unknowing. His threat is that he DOES know and could name names.

Again, teachers: not the brightest cadre, but bright enough to protect their pensions and other perks by going along/getting along and disseminating the inculcations.

The true *unknowing* are the students and the viewers/readers of the MSM. The Kanye fans and concert-goers. The women who idolize Kim K and the sisters, watch the TV shows obsessively and buy her cosmetics in order to look like them. Ks are all about *The Brand*. I’ll go further: I think Kris K pushed Bruce Jenner into transitioning in order to add to the K brand cachet with a shout-out to the trans market. Maybe not, but it wouldn’t be a surprise. Just like I think most of them hook up w/black actors/musicians/athletes to cement the relationship with that market segment.

Caveat: I’ve never watched a Kardashian show or listened to more than a clip of Kanye. This is how they strike me from the outside.

I have known prog activists from League of Women Voters and teachers and they are not original thinkers, but will mutter under their breath about “Careful who’s listening” and “You don’t know what you’re up against.”. Most are not innocents.
Case in point, I overheard a couple LoWV congratulating each other for getting Rahm elected in Chicago.

I think huge numbers of people need to know they no longer need to fear the power. I think POTUS knows that and so does Q....that is the source of the constant references to freed slaves. Maybe POTUS encouraged Kanye to be a Moses-type figure.

Lots of work today & the rest of the week. Will be off and on, as usual, so if anyone wants to discuss this, realize I might not answer for hours.
