It’s not a stretch to state that the majority of those who acquiesced are not appalled. In this video (36:18) mark, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcA5TotAkhs, Peter Robinson states how shocked he was that so many university students just went along with what they were told, with no pushback, in spite of the fact that they were at almost no risk (of dying from Cov). I also have been very surprised (appalled) that the majority of this demographic has been so passive during the past 2 years. Historically university students have not been shy of rebellion, nor of inciting riots for change. The theory posited by Peter Robinson is that they lack beliefs in the transcendent (divinity etc). And Jordan Peterson sums it up with “If you believe nothing, you’ll fall for anything”. I have been reflecting about this. When I asked my 21 year old neighbour why he went for the jab, his response was “I dunno, I just did.” Yes, I was appalled and continue to be appalled about a lot. Charles, you count among those who have been my sanity check during the past couple of years, for which I am very grateful!
These ‘university students’ are a direct product of the public (and often private)school system education they received. A System that supports compliance, don’t step out of line, do as you are told, that rewards one for that compliance and obeyance and so on and so forth. Unless they were a person that bucked the ‘System ’ (and these types didn’t last long or fell through the cracks), you learned to fall in line. That these young adults are like this is not surprising. In my experience they ‘couldn’t find their way out of a paper bag’ if they had to! They learned that ‘go along to get along’ mantra quite well.
There were key events in Eastern Europe for example, of which I have first hand recounts from people I know, when students were not influenced by "forces" outside of their own group (they were rising up against existing regimes- at first very underground, then gaining momentum). It can be said of course that they were subject to peer influence.
Historically maybe yes, but this crop of college age youth, from what I have observed, have been raised on their devices and it’s attendant technological propaganda. They have little to no ‘life skills’ and from my POV couldn’t find their way out of a paper bag. So I don’t see them as ‘very useful political tools’…’easily manipulated’ maybe but not too full of ‘vigor’.
I had that experience of both public and private school, was never subjected to corporal punishment, and was a real pain in the ass to my more authoritarian teachers. One of the teachers complained in the coffee-break lounge that I was smarter than the teachers (there was one teacher who ratted them out on this, and who said he told them, "He's not smarter than *me*.").
I *never* got good at navigating the mazes of academia, so maybe that's part of the issue. I suppose I should be grateful.

Yes, the educational system is one of compliance, obedience, and yet this has always been the case. My parents have recounted stories of physical punishment during their schooling years (sometimes severe) for even the slightest transgressions. And yet, there are examples in history of students rising up in revolt. Maybe the university students of today did not deem the situation dire enough to do so? Or are they so in a trance, abetted by technology? I am reflecting real time as I write.
They are “in a trance, abetted by technology”. This has furthered their ‘state of slumber’. I just don’t see these classes of university grads waking up anytime soon…they are the people Klaus Schwab & The WEF are targeting for the “they will have nothing and like it” way of living. They will graduate, heavily in debt, there will be few ‘jobs’ in their field, (or pay enough to sustain their life and pay off the debt), so being on the Government dole, all drugged up on technology with brain implants, they will be content and compliant.
Historically perhaps most humans did not have the gift of self-reflection. I grew up in the south during the mid 50’s through the 60’s. Most people just went along with the Jim Crow laws nonsense as though it made sense. They never questioned any of it, they simply complied. A lack of core sense of humanity, just following the herd. These same types just went along with the ‘vaccine’ nonsense because that was what all the other bleating sheep were doing. I’m sensing a change in the air though, so there is room for optimism.

Yes, when influenced to do so. Students are very useful political tools, easily manipulated and full of the free time and vigor possessed by youth.

Of course, it worked out a bit better for Bob.

Steiner talked about two kinds of human souls. Non players and human player souls.
