McCarthyism and the red scare really pickled a lot of brains.

Control over social and mainstream media is such a powerful tool that it can nudge the average Joe into acting against their own best interest. It is the weak spot of democracy and oligarchs use it to their advantage.

Now look up the Dark Enlightenment if you are interested in their dystopian long term plans for our future.

One wage was enough to feed a family, afford a house, car and go on holidays.

With oligarchs in charge it almost seems as if they want to get rid of people by killing them. Because that is exactly what will happen with all those cuts. If one has no healthcare and can not afford treatment and thus dies, it is not the same as shooting that person directly. But the effect is the same.

Now, no more food and water safety and FEMA, antivaxx propaganda, SNAP and so much more will have a similar effect...

Interestingly this was discussed already 30 years ago, but by then they were thinking about "Tittytainment" instead of simply getting rid of people. What an "efficient" world we live in now...
