Slowly Boiling The Frog

   Slowly boiling the frog is a phrase said to communicate the idea that
   people will tolerate a great change for the worse if that change is very
   gradual, even if they would absolutely not tolerate this change being made
   quickly. It refers to an experiment in which a frog doesn't jump out of
   boiling water if the water temperature is raised very gradually (even
   though according to "modern science" this experiment isn't real).

   For example the amount and aggressiveness of brainwashing [1]ads and
   technological abuse that young people tolerate nowadays would have been
   absolutely unacceptable a few decades ago, but now it's the reality of
   life that few even question (some complete retards like that linus tech
   [2]faggot even defend it). Imagine you traveled back to 1990s and made the
   following offer to a random man: wanna buy this device that will be spying
   on you, show you ads whenever you interact with it, you'll have to pay for
   it monthly, charge it daily and every two years pay for a new model? He'd
   tell you must have some serious brain damage to even make that offer.
   Nowadays the situation is completely opposite: they'll call you retarded
   if you decline this offer. The frog has been boiled.

   The technique of slowly boiling the frog is used by [3]corporations,
   [4]governments, fascists and idiots to slowly take away people's freedom
   in small steps: each step takes away a bit of freedom while promising some
   reward, normally in form of additional comfort -- normal people are too
   braindead to see the obvious trick and are enthusiastic about the change.
   If you tell them that giving up [5]net neutrality or [6]simplicity will
   eventually lead to almost complete loss of freedom, they label you a
   [7]tinfoil or "conspiracy theorist", they tell you that "it's not a big
   deal". So it will go on with other and other changes and the normie is
   still happy because he can only see one step ahead or behind. The bad
   thing is that it's not only the normie who will suffer --in fact he may
   even be happy as a slave robot of the system -- but you will suffer as
   well. Normies decide the future of the environment we all have to live in.

   Slowly boiling the frog works very well when spanning several generations
   because a new generation won't remember that things used to be better.
   Parents can tell them but young never listen to older generations, or take
   them seriously. A [8]zooomer won't remember that computers used to be
   better, he thinks that [9]bloated phones filled with [10]ads and [11]DRM
   that don't work without Internet connection and that spy on you constantly
   are the only way of technology, they don't know that back then it wasn't
   this way, even if they hear about it, they just don't comprehend it.

   This can also be seen with all the [12]subscriptions and [13]service as
   software replacement in [14]modern tech. Back in the 90s no one would buy
   a program he would have to keep periodically paying for, people saw that
   was stupid and everyone would tell you that no company can make
   subscription software because no one would pay subscriptions if he can
   just buy a competitor's program once and use it forever, people would just
   laugh at any company trying to do that; if back then you told anyone
   subscriptions would become the sole business model in technology, even
   e.g. for cars, they would literally put you in mental asylum, you would be
   labeled a retard and schizo, just like they are labeling [15]us warning
   about the future. It took 1 to 2 generations to indeed make this schizo
   vision a reality. If you think something can't happen because it just
   sounds "schizo", [16]you're a brainwashed retard.

   Studies on caged people show that a 90s man can bear only as much as 3 ads
   per hour before killing
   himself^[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]
   while a zoomer kid can easily live with his senses being 97% occupied by
   ads all the time (even in sleep) -- in fact a zoomer cannot live without
   receiving at least 7 ads per 3 minutes. { I myself start being suicidal
   after watching TV for like 1 minute, I have now started to cover my ears
   when ads start to play somewhere (you just hear them on a bus, in stores
   etc.) but sometimes you can't do it. It's seriously endangering my life,
   not even kidding. ~drummyfish }
