Mob Mentality and Social Control
9m · Published#mob #mobmentaility #socialcontrol
The right to freely express opinions in democratic nations may unexpectedly become derailed and end up uniting those with related, and sometimes radical, views. Members of these groups may become evangelized and later begin propagating their beliefs or faith outside their sphere of influence.
Being a member or part of a community or group can amplify or exaggerate an individual's optimistic and pessimistic sense of security and pride. Is it possible that the commonalities that hold groups together in democratic societies become influenced or abused remotely by nefarious institutions, foundations, and, unsurprisingly, governments?

Cognitive Dissonance in a Democracy
10m · Published#cognitivedissonance #democracynow #beliefsandsciences
Unfortunately, it takes some people an extremely long time to acknowledge that some of their beliefs, or ways of thinking, weren't carefully thought out or lacked objective reasoning. It may take a lot of honest self-reflection to rid themselves of beliefs that hold them back from seeing the world as it is instead of how they want it to be

Enslaved Africans weren’t the only ones who worshipped idols.
“By the eve of the Civil War, Christianity had pervaded the slave community. Not all enslaved people were Christian, nor were all those who accepted Christianity members of a church, but the doctrines, symbols, and vision of life preached by Christianity were familiar to most.”
https://www.christianitytoday.com/his...
“Black Americans, once freed from slavery, were very active in forming their churches, most of them Baptist or Methodist, and giving their ministers moral and political leadership roles. In the process of self-segregation, practically all black Americans left white churches so that few racially integrated congregations remained (apart from some Catholic churches in Louisiana).”
