The harshest reality, that the post modernists and their woke friends fail to realize, is that civilization is only ever one dumb move away from barbarism.
We are about as close to the precipice as we've ever been right now, yet people are still playing into the hands of the groups who wish to enslave us. They still haven't worked out what's going on. They choose to focus on micro aggressions, being offended by statues of the people who rescued us from tyranny, and welcoming the rise of powers who wish to see us wiped from the planet.
It seems the vast majority now support the introduction of tools like censorship, disarmament, and restriction of movement, which only serve to strengthen their dependency on the government and remove their liberty. Whoever said liberty wasn't dangerous? People clearly don't have the courage to be free.
At this point we'll be lucky if we escape with a new dark age to match the one brought on by the collapse of Rome. The level of misinformation, and people's inability to sift through the nonsense, leaves me very fearful that we'll become even more ignorant than the people who were at least smart enough to finally pull themselves out of the darkness 1000 years ago. If we don't descend into another dark age it will be because we've entered an even more terrifying dystopia.
It's my sincerely held belief that the future will be ruled by a very small group of elites who'll use our own ignorance and a suite of technologically advanced tools to keep us quietly enslaved. George Orwell was right to be worried, although he overestimated our wit. We didn't need to have teleprompters fitted, we openly welcomed the government surveillance.
The wheels for this were set in motion when we took our eye off the ball and thought the Cold War had ended. The communists feigned retreat and we foolishly fell for it. Then, once governments began to see the effects of the internet on the poorly educated masses, the situation was exacerbated. Aldous Huxley's observation that advertising techniques would become so powerful that they'd be used to keep us ignorant proved true.
Governments have now, for quiet some time, been quietly conspiring to "keep us safe" from the thoughts of others. They've determined what is morally right, and what is true. We are no longer allowed to listen to opposing thought. The reaction to COVID should have anybody with a modicum of intelligence freaking out with the realization that there is no hope for us now. The cabal of conspirators is so powerful it can force governments to turn against their own people and enslave them. There can never be another Trump, or another Thatcher, because the new Stalins have learned how to keep winning. If people like that ever get in power again they will be quickly shut down by the institutions they must trust to allow them to govern. Watch how the Democrats dismantle and rebuild the Supreme Court to see what I mean.
If you don't think this is going on, you clearly aleady accepted your fate a long time ago. I'd argue you don't have much to live for; your aspiration must have always been to live as a sheep. Well, everyone you hold in high esteem looks down on you in derision.
We are a truly pathetic species. It's hard not to empathise with anyone who holds us in contempt and has decided we are merely cattle.
How's that? Scared yet? -

I learned from a very young age that nothing organic is truly perfect, therefore no living thing is completely perfect either. Even powerful conspirators can be overthrown as well. I'm not a powerful conspirators anyway. I'm just tired of the nonsense you guys have been force feeding society for hundreds of years. It's never gotten me very far at all. And covid-19 pandemic is showing me that you guys weren't really all that ****ing intelligent to begin with if a single cell organism could potentially destroy humanity as we've known it. I doubt covid-19 can be controlled even if it were man made in a laboratory. -

It's like that topic Miley made about how God punished Eve. He made Eve dependent upon her husband. Therefore, all women inhereted her punishment.
I feel like she was already because God made her out of Adam.
