Morning, Todd!

As usual, a lot to digest.

What is really going on with government?

I don't have "THE ANSWER" but last night, I happened to recollect an illuminating example, from MMXX, a real head-scratching, gut-punching, nut-kicking eye-opener.

EASY PICKINGS

🤡 🥸 😄

ONE WAY sidewalks seriously up for debate on a city council agenda actually happened.

It makes me wonder if maybe everything happening around us is just a natural by-product of collective, unconscious, uncoordinated, compound human ignorance and stupidity.

However, it also reminded me, it seems the wealthiest were among the most irrational, stupidest, most selfish and fearful advocates of arbitrary control imposed by decree, and the zealous enforcement of "MANDATORY RECOMMENDATIONS."

And, the vast majority of "we the people," awfully easy, low-hanging, easy pickings.

Moreover, I guess the fear psyoperators learned with high precision, what % of the global population could be dependably relied upon and receptive to being manipulated into submissive, unquestioning, obedient compliance and conformity, through language alone, without resorting to physical coercion, the use of force and application of restraint.

I don't know, but, it seems to me as if institutionalized slavery is a recurrent form of government by default.

This is really well laid out - thank you for sharing. I do think most people have abdicated critical thinking & decision making to such a degree, that criticism of government or big pHARMa is taken as a personal attack. I have no other explanation beyond brainwashing or Stockholm syndrome🤷🏼‍♂️
