    Well.... "directives" are a fairly direct method of manipulating or telling people what to do... not sure I understand the question.

    Also... don't understand the second question. How do you mean I've decided to use my energy? I mean... clearly I disagree with it and will gripe about it when the subject comes up.. is that what you mean by "use my energy"?

      There are a long string of assumptions you're making there that I would not. Not sure how we got from masks to Putin and a hot tub.

      But if you are really curious rather than being dismissive, then you should check out https://www.corbettreport.com/corbett-report-documentaries/ .. You are asking a relatively simple question with many long answers that require a better understanding of history. This links is a good place to start.

      I assume we can agree that colonialism and aristocracy once was a major force a hundred or fewer years ago? If so, then lets consider the possibility that groups of people who thrived at the top of that system didn't just walk away, but maybe they just started calling what they did by different names and continued moving their agendas in the same direction.

      It would be kind of like telling you that all matter is made up of tiny "particles" and charges that you can't see and expecting you to not doubt me without you having some basic understanding of the concepts being referred to first.
