Kaz, I need to read your comments, again. They have struck me as very thoughtful so I’ve got to read and consider what you’ve written
Thank you

Just broaden it up, because I do realize I left a lot of things open.

So as I was saying how trust plays a big role in here. People have been living with the system and it gives them the realization of we know how that system works. And they trust that the system will on its own deal with the unsavory elements. This is why there is no real effort into thinking in these things. This in my view allows them to concentrate on things which are more important on them, social warmth, fun, career, Luxery.

It comes back to what has the system done wrong to me. In the Turkish language we have a proverb “May the snake who doesn’t touch me live a thousand years”.

But when the system does fail people, those people will be outliers. Their teachers might have failed them, their “friends” might have failed them, acquittances, parents, government, school, whatever. Something has failed them which caused them to change.

From this you get a whole breed of different people, Those who are in Denial and try to cope one way or the other, Those who leash out against that betrayed them, Those who start mistrusting everything, those who start taking revenge by abusing the system.

This is also why those whose hearts has been marked by darkness will have a hard time convincing those who have not. Personal experience is a very strong modifier.

Its saying. Hey the system is rigged to people who have not witnessed the tampering of the system. And if you were to show what is tampered in the system, it will be so over their head that can’t exactly understand what is tampered and when an “system expert” assures them its okay, its only those with a “heart of darkness” who will seem foolish.

“Why go against is”, “What has it done to you”, “Look at other countries, look how good we have it”, “Don’t you see the progress we have made”, “If it was such a big issue, why would have known by now”, “What if it was that way, it isin’t hurting me so why should I care”

How many arguments can you expertly defend, how many landmines can you expertly defuse. When you want to convince the others, you cannot afford to make mistakes, you cannot afford to use comprised sources. But they, can just be half-arsed about it.

And another one. In the face of peril, would you cast away your individuality to survive. Or cling to it even if it may cause you to lose everything.

I am going to an example and for the sake of keeping it grounded I leave out the supernatural aspect.

I trust the Greed in People
I trust the Lust for escape from Reality in People
I trust the Irrationality in People (f.e Hatred is a form of irrationality to me, but I take even broader and say that “acting on Feelings alone” is irrational)
