Obama's Intelligence Agenda: More of the Same from the "Change Administration"
#19
Myra Bronstein Wrote:I think that's really the bottom line--exactly what Dawn says. From what I've seen many Americans decide what to believe based how how the information makes them feel. If it makes them feel bad they tend to recoil from the truth. The 'big bad' is too awful to let in.

Other Americans manage to open their minds to horrible truths even though it's traumatizing. I think they're in the minority.

Is that peculiar to Americans, or is it typical of people everywhere?
I wonder if other nationalities use this emotional filter to the extent that Americans do.

Denial is 'where its at' - just too scary for most to contemplate and doesn't fit the mythology about America they've all been immersed in. I've lived in a few countries and have found others that share this trait to some extent [I lived in Sweden for a while and most there couldn't handle entertaining any 'real' conspiracy in the Palme assassination]; that being said, I think Americans have especially strong rose-colored glasses. Germans, Russians, Czechs and many others I've met in their own countries have NO illusions as to how evil and far from the 'official version' true history can be. Americans want to be naive, are naive and have been propaganzied to be naive [in general]. Yes, some significant minority can see 'behind the curtain' and through the MSM/Mythological fog - and it isn't pretty. Deep Political viewing is a very painful place - but once you 'see' there is no way back to the fairy tale. No wonder depression and cynicism is endemic in our minority community.
