@Lizette603_23 👍

@auscandoc Yes, I've been watching this happen.

@auscandoc Critical thinking has been bred out of so many masses of humans. They literally do not see the actual printed wording of something, substituting ridiculous words because their "source" has brainwashed them. Critical thinking cannot be sparked during arguments. Only during discussions. Fascism and various other forms of controls do not leave room for discussion.

@Lizette603_23 I disagree with the bred out bit.

Indoctrinated out. I have many examples of smart offspring of smart people who nonetheless have RFKJ on the night stand.

@auscandoc I appreciate your sentiment, and I don't do bits.
