totally. not. understanding.

both you and brad think that the real problem is that these peole are 
"handled". their views (called them misguided, fucktarded or idiotic or

of being handled. they are puppets. they are dupes.

their beliefs are manufacturered for them.

it's just another way of calling them stupid.
