“Exposure to true information does not matter anymore.

A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information.
The facts tell nothing to him.

Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures.
Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union, and show him a concentration camp,
he will refuse to believe it, until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom.

When the military boot crushes his balls, then he will understand, but not before that.
That is the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.”
― Yuri Bezmenov

“There is no neutral ground in the universe. Every square inch, every split second is claimed by God, and counterclaimed by Satan.”
