Guest Post by Eric Peters
It’s interesting the way EV Fever and “Vaccine” pushing have tracked together. In particular, the way the people who took (and pushed) the drugs that weren’t “vaccines” didn’t acknowledge they were wrong (or misled) or express regret (or anger about being misled) but instead found endless ways to rationalize what they did (and pushed).
It’s the same with EVs, too.
Rather than acknowledge the numerous flaws or express anger about such things as having been misled about how far EVs actually go in real-world driving, they make excuses for their battery powered devices. It’s no big deal that the device’s range is 20-30 percent less than advertised; that it plummets in cold weather; that the battery has lost a third of its charge capacity after just seven years of driving; that it costs a third more (and rising) to insure a device because of its higher repair costs and the built-in fire risk . . .
It’s still “safe and effective,” so to speak. Like the boosters these same people continue to take, they’d buy another device in spite of the objective failings of their first device.
Why? 
Audi almost went under back in the ’80s over a fake “60 Minutes” hit piece that asserted Audi vehicles were prone to sudden unintended acceleration (kind of like died suddenly, except it wasn’t true in Audi’s case). Because people were afraid to drive Audis. EV people are not afraid to drive devices that spontaneously catch fire.
“Yugo” is not so much the name of a car as the punchline of jokes about poorly built, unreliable cars. No one wants to buy a Yugo. But they do buy poorly built, unreliable devices.
If Toyota were discovered to have sold Prius hybrids that regularly missed the advertised mileage by 5 percent there would be Hell to pay. But devices that regularly fall 20 percent short of the range they advertise are coo’d over by the people who bought the lies.
Again, why?
Probably because the people who buy the lies and make excuses for the liars are people who believe. They are like the believers in the rituals associated with the event marketed as a “pandemic,” which it was in the same way that there is a “pandemic” of graying hair among those over 50. Most people do not die as a result of graying hair, either. But unlike graying hair, belied in the “pandemic” gave many people something to believe in. It is just the same with those who believe in EVs. And when you believe rather than think, it is hard to shake belief. 
The believer has a stake in what he believes; he will make great effort to avoid thoughts that contradict or question his beliefs because he does not want to have his beliefs shattered. His beliefs orient him. They provide the meaning he lacks otherwise. What is a car that just works? It is just a car. A tool. Something that serves a purpose. A battery powered device serves a higher purpose – in the mind of the believer. It shows he puts his beliefs – as in the “climate changing” sense – into practice. The device is so much more than a vehicle. Just as a “mask” was so much more than a garment worn over the face. Just as the Burqa is so much more than a garment worn over the face.
Once a person becomes a believer, it becomes nigh impossible to reason with that person, axiomatically. Belief being immune to the powers of reason. Belief rejecting reason as the primary mechanism for evaluating the truth (or not) of something.
One simply believes.
And such a person will believe anything – and cling tightly to it, too.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

“Just get a bite to eat!”
Damn, Eric the car guy, what’s with the wipers skipping across the windshield?
WHAT ELSE CAN WE EXPECT FROM A WORLD CONTROLLED BY “MORONS”‘ FOLKS???
The “Lunatics are in charge of this Asylum”!
And the tards are driving the little bus of state.
I dunno. Maybe cretins screaming in bold caps even though they’s been asked multiple times to chill the fuck out?
Thanks, Eric – good observations and of course, an excellent example of cognitive dissonance, something that has dogged the critical-thinking man for centuries. I have no wish to change another’s worldview because I know I can’t, as you expertly conclude. Thus why not just be happy with ICE and let the mugs continue to ‘believe’?
EV’s are GAY. AF.
change my mind.
They are pretty faggy.
They don’t just believe. They also lick toilet seats and eat tide pods. I wonder if there is a correlation.
the radiation emitted from car batteries will certainly trigger the bioweaponed to an early death, and those few who are not bioweaponed will acquire cancer with enough exposure.
Bad news for all the EV indebted, boosted and mutated zombie sheep…you aren’t going to see how this story ends.
