*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 [ads](ad.md) 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* [faggot](faggot.md) even defend it).
For example the amount and aggressiveness of brainwashing [ads](ad.md) 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* [faggot](faggot.md) 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 [corporations](corporation.md), [governments](government.md), 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 [net neutrality](net_neutrality.md) or [P2P](p2p.md) encryption will eventually lead to almost complete loss of freedom, they label you a [tinfoil](tinfoil.md) 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.
