I think we're close to a turning point. The internet makes it possible to access information that you didn't have access to 15 years ago. More and more people are slowly waking up and realize that the official stories promoted by the governments and the media are skewed, misrepresentations of the truth and blatant lies.
of course this awakening is met with much resistance especially by those who stand to lose something by the truth coming to light. The sheep you're talking about are quick to label you a conspiracy theorist when you oppose the official story, regardless of how full of holes and contradictions this official story is. When some theories or views are not even open to discussion it sends me a clear warning that something ain't right.
I'm always open to debate my point of view or beliefs with anyone but a lot of people will only reply with insults instead of giving arguments that prove me wrong. This only proves to me that they follow an idea or belief without knowing why.
It's scary to me when people believe you can't question government, doctors, or religious leaders. They are just people like you and me and are just as susceptible to error and vulnerable to temptations of personal profit.
When I see a website that promotes a natural healthy lifestyle which has a warning that what they promote is not FDA approved I know I found a source of valuable information 😁
