There Is No Epidemic of Racist Police Shootings | National Review

If you tell a lie often enough, long enough and loudly enough the myth becomes accepted as a fact. Repetition, volume and longevity can twist and turn any myth or any lie into a commonly accepted way of doing things. Entire populations have been lulled into the approval of ghastly deeds and even participation in them by gradually moving from the truth to a lie. Throughout history, twisted logic, rationalization and incremental changes have allowed normally intelligent people to be party to ridiculous things. And when we participate in what the crowd identifies as normal, even if it is stupid, we gain acceptance into the club. Sometimes we don't even realize that what we are doing is stupid because we have been taught it is just "the way you do it", and so we never ask why. As we participate in the myth, we learn to spout the principles of the myth. After the years go by and we have invested more money and more time into the myth we become great disciples and can preach the points of the myth with great fervor and volume. We become such experts on the myth that we can sell others on joining the lie. And by the time someone comes along with the truth, we believe the truth is the myth.

I once joined the myth, but no more. The truth sits in this arena. I fully believe that. You learn how to become a free thinker. Not just a freedom fighter; a freedom vigilante! You take it into your own hands. And at the end of the day you take the blue pill or the red pill, because you take the blue pill Neo, and the story ends. And you wake up and believe what ever you want to believe. But you take the red pill and you stay in wonder land. Do you know just how deep the rabbit hole goes?
