The author later gave an example and what needed to be done to break the cycle further down in the article.
I've had a few encounters with people like this. Once they're "locked in", nothing sort of major trama can break it. And yes, you can actually show this person to their face the reality and they will deny it. Its fascinating and very disturbing at the same time.
I guess that ties in with what happens to a liberal, once they’ve been mugged.
For those that didn’t read the whole article, the author said that entire countries during WW2 that had been taken in and had their minds transfixed by their leaders basically had to be DESTROYED and SHATTERED in order to break the cyc!e. The only reason those nations still existed was due to the mercy of the victors.
How would that work here?
Yep, people who have actually suffered under communism and/or socialism can speak of the horrors they personally experienced and the listeners will call them liars. Yeonmi Park posts often on Facebook of the atrocities she witnessed in North Korea and gets such comments. I believe that some of the comments are by North Koreans with fake accounts, but many others are useful idiots.
