I'm 12 years old

I'm pretty sure a demoralized person is someone who is feeling pretty depressed. I dunno which dictionary your definition comes from ( ´ω`)

No, his definition is correct, a demoralized person is someone unable to assess true information. You must be a very demoralized person for not knowing this.

well maybe YOU are the demoralized one!

Maybe half-demoralized. I'm open to all sorts of learning, even stuff most people consider evil to entertain, but I half-wonder sometimes if I'm just entertaining weird conspiracy theories.

OP's understanding of the word "demoralized" has demoralized me

Isn't there like, a colloquial definition, and a social sciences definition?

There's the main definition of "morale/spirit/confidence has been broken", an archaic definition that means "morals have been lowered/corrupted", and then there's OP's definition he just invented (´∇`)

Actually I just realized he's (mis)quoting Yuri Bezmenov, probably to get us to talk about /pol/crap. Once again, OP has demoralized me...

Social "sciences" are a joke. They sure as fuck are not science. Anything they "define" gets redefined in every paper not because it's useful but because it allows lying more easily. For example the paper "Garden Variety Rocks Can Learn Stuff" will start with "since the brain contains grey matter, we define the ability to learn as having a grey surface somewhere'.
As noted by >>5387 OP's definition is based on yuri's.
The right definition is
>cause (someone) to lose confidence or hope; dispirit.
Which is not the same as being depressed at all. The effect of not being able to see truth without getting hit in the face by it can be the result of being demoralized ("it's useless to get out of bed in the morning, even macdonald's won't hire me, the tv said the job market was that bad"), but is not itself defined as 'being demoralized'.

Also, I very much object to these kinds of terms because the fact is, many people nowadays are simply hostile to education and learning of even simple things on the level of 1+1=2. This isn't "demoralization" in the sense of OP, which relies on perception and wishy washy concepts like social dynamics or the economy or the job market. This is something completely different that should be recognized as such.

Answering OP, I would score a 1/10 on his scale. Or perhaps a 0?

Put this shit on textbunker, not Heyuri.

If I had to place the blame somewhere I would, (maybe simplistically), place it on how the Internet, mode of much learning, currently works for most people.

I'm kind of a believer in 'The medium is the message', and how that affects people's ability to learn or approach life in general. What is the message of the 'medium' (the Internet, as most people use it--though obviously not the Internet itself) as it is today?

"You must form opinions quickly and stick to them dogmatically. There is no room to be wrong or to have your mind changed, because a record of your original outlook will follow you forever."

You are right, 5398-san. This should be on textbunker!

Be advised lurkers, we may have a demoralized poster in our midst.
The handbook advises to calmly say, "You are right" while increasing distance when possible.
What's particularly interesting about this demand, you may notice, is that we conveniently circumvent the function of Heyuri. What do we hope to achieve here? To the demoralized, it matters not what we achieve here; rather, we must maintain the status-quo, whatever that may be, and however amorphous it appears.
At all lengths we must avoid the foreboding conclusion that, as it stands, nothing has been accomplished other than placating and massaging the damned and defeated who lurks these realms. Convince them they're a part of something, creating some "culture" - though to what end, and for what purpose, must never be enunciated. Namely, to distract the demoralized from their hopeless situation: stuck.

I can't decide if this thread is shitposting, trolling, or politicalposting. (-＿-)

I actually agree with you
