How can people have such differing views?

This is about the state of the US both socially and economically and the rest of the world. Not about the other weird shat I talk about, which I totally understand is way out there as far as mainstream thinking.
But my point is you have about 30% that see the country and the world are nearing complete social and economic colapse, and those of us that see it have a very clear picture. Yet 60% or more have no idea this is happening, they disregard everything and just act like everything is normal, ready to keep voting themselves all the gifts they desire.
It's obvious that it is completely FUBAR, its not like we are just going through normal generational changes which people generally have a difficult enough time adapting to, or our econemy is evolving and going through the pains of changing.
In my opinion we are dealing with failed social and economic policies. As soon as we started printing fiat money to fund the civil war "credit", and then used more credit to fund every war thereafter, and then eventually ran the entire government, business and every household on credit we became enslaved, no more freedom.

You may be surprised to find that the other 90% (not 60% or 70%) also have a very clear picture, it's just based on reality rather than conspiracy theories and fear.
The problem with the fruitcakes is that they are truly mystified that the great majority of people don't see the absolutely batshit crazy stuff they believe in as "facts"...like hearing the Y'AllQueda clowns trying to figure out why the tens of millions of likeminded whackos didn't show up to help them in Burns.
They concluded it was fear, cowardice, and a concerted effort by the New World Order to keep them all down...failing to realize the far simpler and accurate truth, which is that there are a relatively tiny amount of people who believe what they believe.
It's not because others "can't see" the real picture...it's because they can.
Fish on...

Please explain how things are just "normal"? Why should we ignore all the facts this time, we have been through lesser collapse's before and recovered but this is different. The world is 250 trillion in debt The protected class's agenda is being poked down the majorities throats wit a stick, if they speak out against it they risk losing everything. We are watching a controlled collapse occurring right now.
Dan says that regardless of everything, he can still go to the store whenever he wants and spend fiat dollars and its always been that way. Will it always be tat way? My bet is that one day soon you will not even have access to your money let alone spend it.

The good thing about being an Apocalyptic Fundamentalist or an Armageddonist is that you can never be proven wrong when you keep saying "it's coming"...even the ones who keep predicting date certains just keep moving the date back when it doesn't happen.
That's what makes those positions easy to hold for the whackos...prove it won't happen! Prove to me Bigfoot/Gnomes/Loch Ness Monster doesn't exist!
It can never ever be done to their satisfaction, so they never have to give up their crazy views.
Also, here's a great indicator that you are a whacko...when your opinions are held by less than 1% of the people, you think that it is actually a vast network of people "in the know" who hold your opinion, that there is another "vast network" of bad guys who also are "in the know", only they are evil, and you use words like "fear" and "sheeple!" to describe the other 99.999% of the people in the world.
Fish on...

P.S. There is absolutely no excuse for being an Actual Flat Earther or an Actual Hollow Earther...those are so easily debunked and fundamentally impossible views for anyone older than four years old to hold that you have to be triple batshit fruit loop crazy to even consider either of those for more than one second.

Civilization as we know it is circling the toilet bowl, only a pussy hair from total collapse. However, if you look to history at any point in time, civilizations have always been a pussy hair from collapse. It's just human nature to sh!t where they eat and wreck everything. It's always been like this and it always will. Human civilization is nothing but a bunch of psychotic hairless apes who believe in the most outlandish, ridiculous and unreal things yet as improbable an event as human civilization is, it has gone on for thousands of years. Get used to it.

Hey, it's just a glitch. Nothing to worry about.
We'll throw in a little dab of QE over here and a smidgen of negative interest rates over there and everything will be peachy.
Sit back, put your money under the mattress and enjoy your cheap gas. We got this under control. Should have put mine under a mattress, have lost about 12% on the 401K in the last couple of months.

I have been watching X-file reruns. Rich reminds a bit of Mulder. He knows the Truth is out there and he is going to keep looking if it kills him.
The only problem with that is it isn't real.

When you have a transgender freak like Bruce Jenner receive woman of the year you know that the decline of the empire is upon you. It's an insult to real women that have accomplished something that benefits others. Instead woman of the year is nothing more than an absolutely disgusting display of self importance and that being a fu.cked up head case is something to celebrate rather than remedy. We give Iran nuclear clearance while trying to demonize lawful 2A supporters. And the weak anti religious fuc.ktards that hate Christianity but support Islam is further proof that a not so vocal contingent is trying to destroy this country from inside. A socialist has a real chance at becoming POTUS and 32 ounce sodas are illegal...
Rich G----You aren't crazy it's just that the paradigm has shifted so far into fantasy land that nothing is as it should be.
Rioting and looting and arson are acceptable if you're black. As is overt racism and discrimination and general thuggery. Pointing out that fact though IS racist.

Sky fairies have been around as long as man has walked the earf It's a fact not often mentioned by the folks who spend so much time talking about something they claim doesn't exist.

like hearing the Y'AllQueda clowns trying to figure out why the tens of millions of likeminded whackos didn't show up to help them in Burns.
That was a serious diss on those whackos, I'm sure they thought there would be thousands joining them. That was pure Gold. If they were smart they should have not set up in Oregon......DUH!

Maybe. Yellen said she wasn't going to take that negative interest rates thingy off the table if things get worse. A mattress is preferable to paying the bank to hold your money. Put it in a high grade safe with good fire protection.

It was pretty funny hearing them whine that no other delusional nutjobs would join them. As an added bonus, that Cliven asswipe got arrested at PDX. So since he is in jail now and away from his Nevada ranch, can we go collect some of those cattle he owes us? I know Jabba and I would like us some ribeyes. Dibs on the Porterhouse's.
