Pull some 12 angry jurors shit and just keep voting the opposite of the majority and trying to convince the others they're wrong. See if you can get a hung jury.

I've heard the same. the assassinations you mentioned, the way they were carried out - those guys had absolutely no fear of getting caught, and their operations were a lot more sophisticated than were let on at the time.
the media at the time portrayed them as a personality cult, but there was a lot more to it than - they believed they had a 'divine mission' to preserve culture after the world's institutions were destroyed by war (kind of like the Manson cult but with less buzzwords). something in that ideal attracted so many successful, well-educated people - an 'elite group'
they just knew who to recruit...the people that were most gullible. thats the true gift of these cult leaders: how to find the weak-minded followers thatll follow their every whim.

Fuck that, I'd rather be on welfare. Hell, I'd rather be flatout homeless. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm too good for menial labor. In fact, I'm too good to subjugate myself under the authority of anyone, period.

The dichotomy has a genuine basis in fundamental aspects of ideology. Then there's the well documented aspect of tribalism. The vast majority are, by their nature, mindless hyper-partisans, regardless of what they'd like to believe, and don't have particularly good reasons for supporting the things they do.
The people distract themselves. It's the reality of the nature of the common man reflected throughout the finance driven aspects of society, which are molded by consumer demand.
It's what idealist don't want to accept. There is no grand overarching conspiracy, they largely do it to themselves and always have. Repeat after me: There is no god, there is no hope.

If this is true then why has Africa always been a shithole even before slavery.
Again, my thesis is that civilization is advanced by a small number of exceptional people who happen to have power. If a culture doesn't produce exceptional people, or fails to endow them with appropriate power, I'll argue it is unlikely to advance. Consider the infrastructure needed to produce meaningful advancement in the west. You don't get Plato without rich patrons, you don't get Wilkes without universities and you don't get democracy without someone who believes in it having comparable power to a monarch. We can fully explain differences in outcomes without ever posting a dependence on greater or lesser mean intelligence of populations.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CAT? The guy sleeping or whatever he's doing, he doesn't even give a fuck, like he's not looking up trying to swat 'em away or making an angry or startled face or anything for that matter he's just in no fucks given mode, but that kitty cat down in the corner is all surprised like the owls just woke him/her awake from a nice dream and he doesn't even know what's going on, and the owls don't know that the man doesn't give a shit so they're gonna keep trying to bother him when in reality, it's not him that's being bothered but the cat, so I think WHAT IT ALL RELLEH MEENS MAN, is that there's three typa people on this planet- the owls (and bats I guess), the men, and the cats. The owl typa people are always trying to stir shit up and maybe even awaken people to the truths and all that, but they focus on the 'men' typa people who are just like, they just want to be left alone and not be bothered and they have mastered the art of apathy, so it's essentially futile just the owls coming at the men. I mean you have to respect their persistence I guess but at the end of the day it just doesn't do anything as far as what the owls are trying to accomplish goes anyway, but then you have the cats of the world that are down in the corner TRYING to sleep and just trying to do their own thing, but they unlike the men-people cannot just turn a blind eye to the truths that the owls are trying to bring, so even though they don't want to listen they are pretty much forced to because of their mental construction. Basically the cats want to not give a fuck but they end up absolutely giving a fuck insofar as the owls remain persistent, but ironically the owls aren't even trying to get the cat-people to care (I don't know why) but instead are focused on the men-people. I think the cat people slowly turn into owl-people without the owl-people even knowing, thus the owl flock grows larger and larger and maybe that's the point is that without knowing it, the persistence of the owls turns the cats into owls and they are so busy pecking at the men-people that they don't even notice their owl-herd is growing because of the cat-people's conversion and eventually, finally, just MAYBE, the owl-people's flock is large enough to awaken the men-people but at that point climate change will have us living in a Water World and it won't really matter anymore. :(
