11/ People who are dismissed as 'conspiracy theorists' are often well researched and simply ahead of the mainstream narrative.
Define "often". Because in my experience, people who are dismissed as conspiracy theorists are often absolute morons with a very poor grasp on the subject. But those retard's heads will nod along with this one because it's exactly what they want to hear (even though it's utter horse poo).
12/ Most people value safety and security more than freedom and liberty, even if said 'safety' is merely an illusion.
Is he referring to those mask-wearing, socially distant sheeple on the left, or the homophobic, xenophobic, transphobic, anti-democracy Trumpanzees on the right? You choose! In actual fact, nothing in 2020 demonstrated what he claims, as much as he wants to believe otherwise. It's not a black and white issue where people care about absolute freedom over the safety of the community, or vice versa. This imbecile just has no concept of subtlety (which is a growing trend).
13/ Hedonic adaptation occurs in both directions, and once inertia sets in, it is difficult to get people back to 'normal'.
This reads like someone who literally just heard of the phrase "Hedonic adaptation". It has been found in numerous studies that it's actually not difficult to get people back to "normal" after positive or negative events. That's the entire concept of Hedonic adaptation. So I'm really not sure what the hell he's talking about here. Do you?
14/ A significant % of people thoroughly enjoy being subjugated.
Another repeat of #2 and #10. Instead of "at least 20%" or "most people" it's "a significant % of people" though. Who's he referring to here, though? Gotta be Trump and his cult of lunatics, right?
15/ 'The Science' has evolved into a secular pseudo-religion for millions of people in the West. This religion has little to do with science itself.
Ah I never tire of the "Er, well Science is like a religion too!" chestnut that these poo-weasels like to trot out. Another meaningless statement with nothing to back it up.
16/ Most people care more about looking like they are doing the right thing, rather than actually doing the right thing.
A repeat of #1 and #3.
17/ Politics, the media, science, and the healthcare industries are all corrupt, to varying degrees. Scientists and doctors can be bought as easily as politicians.
Ah, now we get to the point in the bar-room conversation where the crazy-man who has all the people nodding their heads breaks out the "And everybody knows the government is controlled by shape-shifting aliens" claptrap.
18/ If you make people comfortable enough, they will not revolt. You can keep millions docile as you strip their rights, by giving them money, food, and entertainment.
Did he learn this from his late night sessions with Civilization V? Because I'm not sure how it applies to anything in 2020. I heard the people in North Korea haven't revolted because they're living in the lap of luxury out there.
19/ Modern people are overly complacent and lack vigilance when it comes to defending their own freedoms from government overreach.
Modern people huh? Pretty sure historical people had a bit more of a problem with authoritarian regimes trampling their freedoms. I know this, because I can read.
20/ It's easier to fool a person than to convince them that they have been fooled.
A repeat of #8, and stolen from actual smart people like Mark Twain and Carl Sagan.
