Excellent points made. I gave up trying to give the brainwashed people the truth. I find it very interesting how varied the response to the information is. Why do some of us see the lies and others are blind? (Hopefully, only temporarily.) I can imagine it requires a huge paradigm shift and the shattering of one's worldview. We can't grow unless we're capable of letting go of how we perceive ourselves, our world and our place in it. As your writing suggested, I believe it is fear that prevents people from seeing the truth. Fear of having to re-assess, of being wrong and of being vulnerable.
Exactly true. Many of the sleepers have made a comfortable life for themselves by making the "right" decisions. To change their paradigm would require a level of discomfort and pain that they're not willing to embrace. As my Administration of Justice professor said almost 40 years ago; "Most people just want to be fat, dumb and happy and will ignore anything that interferes with that.".
“Shattering of one’s worldview…” 🎯 I ‘borrowed’ this perfect comment from someone some time ago... “Waking up out of the conventional medical paradigm is not without genuine mental and spiritual difficulties. It can be exceedingly painful.”

Amend that to read, “another perfect comment!”
