interesting approach. i seek out people who have figured out more lies than i have. or at least different lies. i then try to share notes with them to see if we can learn from each other.
unfortunately for most people being "based" simply means believing the opposite of whatever we are being indoctrinated into. this is knee jerk reaction reasoning on the level of a teenager who is trying to assert his or her independence. oh you tell me to wear a mask ? then i won't wear a mask !
this is defiance - it is not enlightenment. yes defiance and enlightenment often go hand in hand but not always. for example if the government says earth is round - do i run out and start screaming that it is flat ?
too many fall into the ideological trap where ( for example ) if USA is bad and Putin is fighting USA then Putin is good. i had people screaming at me and calling me retarded for daring to question whether Putin may have ulterior motives in Ukraine other than saving humanity from American Imperialism.
in other words i look for people who are based, but not ones who are based for the sake of being based. being based has to come from rigorous analysis leading to inescapable conclusions rather than defiant knee jerk opposition to authority.
IMO anyway ...
