In some cases, I know that people know. I know they're having thoughts that they find to be anomalous to their cultured world view. They simply do not wish to speak about it because they are unaware that others are thinking similar things. Direct questioning will result in a denial. They must volunteer to speak.
Speaking to the title of this thread, it is a bit presumptuous to say that "we all fear" it.
I have been lurking about ATS for a while now. So I can't say that I am new here. I found ATS when I started looking for believable answers to things that seemed out of place or just not right to me.
I used to try to talk to other people about these things but most people just laughed at me or called me names so I stopped trying. The only people I could really talk to was my Auntie and one of my uncles. But things are starting to change. I have people suddenly talking to me about things that they would never have discussed before. I have people opening up and admitting to believing things that they once thought of as things that only nut jobs believed.
After class on Thursday I was shocked when I looked at my watch to find that I had been in a conservation for over "3" hours with a constituent talking about things that we would never have discussed before. Then yesterday after over hearing a person commenting on the unbelievable prices of the produce in the local Publix, I made a comment that had me in a conversation with the customer and the produce manager that sounded like something you would hear in an ATS chat room.
I think people are just starting to finally wake up. It is just too hard to believe the lies when the truth is staring you in the face. I just hope that it is not too late to make a difference.
