I'm a seeker for a better word. And I seek to wonder how we all became so divided. Things that seemed common sense just a few years ago are now protested against. Walls (both personal and physical). The thought that "the rule of law" is somehow refreshing. Being told to wear a mask is now "bullying" in some schools in the South. Ammunition is literally gone in many states. Yes... Empty.

Take a few minutes from your very important task of commenting about some lame political fishing lure and watch this. Watch it from the start to the end. It's just over 20 mins long. Surely you can give it a shot.

I want to hear some responses to this.

Thoughtful and intriguing, but of limited usefulness. In our increasingly polarized society, everyone who watches this video will see it as only further confirmation of just how dangerous the other side is.
Yesssss, but only one side thinks the president may be a lizard. Only one side thinks the vaccine may contain a tracking mechanism. Stuff like that.:)

Exactly! Only people suffering from mass psychosis would follow a lizard president, or allow the government to inject tracking mechanisms into their arms. Fortunately, there are a few of us enlightened individuals who have freed ourselves from the collective identity of the group psyche and seen through the falsehoods peddled by the would-be totalitarian rulers!

We need to arm ourselves to the teeth and take a stand against all those crazy people!

The video was......obvious, and not really of any help or use.

It utterly fails to address the underlying cause of, well really, any psychosis, nor does it present the easily available cures for it.

Besides having the cures, the only real way out is to be self-governing, which none of you here know how to do simply because you were never taught to be like you should have been. There are 5 words in the Constitution that are a right-in-your-face obvious clue.

But before you can even attempt to learn to be self-governing, you must learn to do several things first.
1st, start with the hardest...Turn off the TV. You don't need it. Really. TV makes you dumb. That's a fact. Go learn a skill with your hands.
2nd, if the radio isn't playing uplifting music, just turn it off. Go learn a skill with your hands.
3rd, social media has got to go! Get rid of it. Retire it. Go learn a skill with your hands.
4th, PUT THE PHONE DOWN. Treat it as though it's 1977. If you're not making a call, using your banking app, or other useful app, or playing games on it, put it down and walk away. Go learn a new skill.
Google is not your friend.
Duckduckgo is.
If you're on the internet, you should either be researching a new skill, learning about Earth's forgotten history, researching patents, or checking the weather.
You don't need the news. It's all a lie and you know it.

Aspire to live like the Amish but with electricity, tools, and air conditioning!
I guarantee you will be a lot happier and psychosis free.

The video clearly stated it's purpose to show how it spreads and why.

Those are some smart concepts you listed. As one over 60... It's easy for me (and maybe you too) to research and know what data I'm seeing. But for many it is not. 44% of Republicans now believe violence may be required to "correct" the problems.How did they get there? Telling folks to not follow news is like telling them not to breath. I grew up in a "Maker" household. Even in my suburbia of childhood we grew much of our fruits and vegetables. We built and repaired everything we could. For years my parents only had one car. We ate (and still do) a mostly plant based diet. My wife and I stopped going out to eat. Why? To reduce our need for added costs to our household. My career started as a machinist (a Maker). Then morphed into computer driven manufacturing as less humans were required. Far too many have lost the Maker art. But suggesting to just "tune in and drop out" was tried before.

As far as "self governing"? I got vaccinated, I wear a mask, and I avoid large indoor situations. Those are MY guidelines. I don't care what your hated doctor on tv says or does not say. I do this regardless of any political figure. I do it based on the evolving science.

I agree with you. As they mentioned "Projection" is a powerful tool. I tried to ask myself as a far right extremist, what would I get from this. Other than several references to the last guy and the red tie characters... They could and would project it right back.

Fear? Liberals v conservatives? Guess which individuals are more likely to be identified by fear and fight or flight response:


I'm a big fan of most of Jung's work but modern brain science rules. :cool:

And that's the thing... They project that the "liberals are trying to scare you with covid..." But when you call them out about fear mongering of the "covid infected illegals" are crossing over and infecting everyone. "Thousands were bused from Texas to Florida. That is why they are so covid infected in Florida..." (the right wing conspiracy this week). It never fucking ends...

So true. The brain science shows clearly why fear mongering is so much more effective with conservatives than liberals.

Both sides fear monger but one side bases their fear on lies and conspiracy theory far more than the other. We all know which is which.

One of the most extraordinary things that occurred during the Trump presidency was the publishing of fact checking I read in the newspaper every day. Often it took a full half page or more to list everything Trump said or tweeted which was wrong. The man didn't tell dozens or a few hundred lies I expect of politicians but over ten thousand of them.

The conservative base is still so energized by his fear mongering that it remains a powerful force on the right which few Republicans dare challenge.

There was a great irony in the Brexit Leave campaign. The Leave campaign was run by an evil genius called Dominic Cummings. He termed the Remain campaign "project fear" because the Remain Campaigners were pointing out all the negatives and downsides of Leaving. The irony was that the Conservative Brexiteers were based upon the "fear" of all the changes that membership of a European Union was bringing and had brought. The Conservatives voted for a return to an imaginary past which no longer exists, if it ever did. In this case, the more liberal minded were switched to being the fearful ones and the conservatives those marching forward to a bright new future. Of course this was untrue but we all like to think that we are the brave forward thinking ones.

We just don't understand how we are being played, who by and why.

Incidentally, I think the totalitarian politics is a result of what has happened, not the cause.

WOW.

You guys just totally missed it. And you all went straight for the politics so you could immediately blame someone/something else using a "shield" because Heaven forbid you should ever be wrong or at fault. We can't have you blaming yourselves for your faults and actions! Oh no. That just won't do, will it.

Your addiction to the TV/news media is 100% entirely ALL YOUR FAULT. Can't blame it on politics. And you know that the TV/news media is nothing but 24/7 fear porn. You didn't start wearing a mask because you did any in-depth research into the viability of masks protecting you or not. You did it for only ONE reason. Because some well-dressed dumbass on TV told you to. That's it.

All one has to do to greatly improve their life is to break their addiction (and that's truly what it is) is simple: JUST TURN THE DAMN TV OFF.
As for the radio, when the news comes on, change the channel to one that's playing music.
Make sure you're not surrounded by negative people or just plain assholes.
Social media has got to go. WHY are you comparing yourselves to others on there?

@WilliamG: That's not self governing. You did those things because someone on TV told you to.

My fucking doctor told me to. The medical and scientific community has always said to wear a fucking mask. I do not do things because I'm in a social media bubble. I do them after looking for answers. This bullshit of "just stay off SM and stop watching TV is just that... Bullshit and you know. Now, how far you decide to listen to those folks is YOUR fucking problem, not mine.

The OP was about how a giant population is controlled. How to fix it is another problem.
