The Life Trap
How can they do such things? How is it, in the (ex) land of the Free, the government can so plainly act in such totalitarian fashion? When did you and I allow our rights and freedoms to vanish so that people, who are self-evidently NOT acting in our interests, or even in a moral fashion, can reach into our lives and take them over. Why do they think they can get away with this?
I think they are becoming confident, although I am not sure I know the right reasons.
On one level, they have been running more than a century of the vastly mis-named ‘Education’ program on us all. We are taught to ‘not think’ and to compete for approval of Authority and to conform to the norm of those around us and to pull down to the common herd all those who might strive to stand above or beyond the crowd. They have a programming tool that captures almost all the public in a snare of symbols and triggers disguised as Entertainment. They are so scared that Entertainment might fail them, they keep upping the ante of shock, to the point where even minor accidents are hyped as ‘horrific’ or ‘Deadly’ and the slightest international altercation is built into a world-threatening disaster for the modern world.
So effective is their game that they can ignore situations that moral people would normally take deep umbrage at and demand action - children starve around the world while the average citizen worries about whether s/he can afford this year’s version of a t-shirt. We eagerly go into debt to buy the latest model of a car that is designed to break down and be obsolete shortly before we have it paid off.
