“Because today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing.”
― Philip K. Dick
If you are trapped in a black and white frame of mind, may Zen philosophy speak to you and allow you to see through the illusion.
"The Perfect Way is only difficult
for those who pick and choose;
Do not like, do not dislike;
all will then be clear.
Make a hairbreadth difference,
and Heaven and Earth are set apart;
If you want the truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against.
The struggle between “for” and “against” is the mind’s worst disease."
Sent-ts'an, c. 700 C.E.
"In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia, until we ultimately become enslaved by it."
Robert Heinlein - 1907-1988, Novelist and Screenwriter
Everyone talks about the perverted ideologies pushed by American schools… but did you know where they come from?
Germany in the 1920’s.
The “Frankfurt School,” & by the 1960s it had completely infiltrated the American university system.
The most dangerous 77 seconds ever recorded by a psychiatrist just broke containment again.
Thomas Szasz, the man the entire profession tried to erase, looked straight into the camera and said:
“We do not have an epidemic of mental illness.
We have an epidemic of psychiatry.”
Too fat → illness
Too thin → illness
Too happy, too sad, too much sex, too little sex → all illnesses
No free will, no responsibility left — only “chemical imbalances” fixed by products you can advertise on TV while alcohol cannot.

There are only two groups with complete legal immunity for the harms they cause: politicians and vaccine makers. It makes sense that they would work together.
If every one of us had to write a check to politicians for everything they said we "owed" them each week, there would be nationwide revolts until the tax rate was cut down to almost nothing.
Their favorite taxes are ones they can hide as much as possible.
Corporate taxes, excise taxes, tariffs, inflation.
They love these because you just see the final price of the things you buy. You don't realize how much of that is the government's cut.
And you definitely don't see how much of it is the result of your dollar being devalued by endless printing of more dollars to fund endless spending by politicians.
Sure, they love sales taxes and withholding of income for payroll taxes too, because they don't have to wait for you to give it to them. But you can still easily see what those cost.
The more they can hide their cost from you, the more they can convince you that they they're the only ones who can help you make ends meet, not that they're responsbile for your struggle to do so in the first place.

Imagine if you will, a dystopian world where the governmental system set up to protect the people from tyranny is tyrannized by the will of the people. And unaware of their selfish ignorance, the people allow their lust for control and power to become so unreasonable that they lose control and become tyrants unto themselves, enslaving not only the current generation to this ignoble behavior but damning many other generations to follow.
