People who don't know how mind control works. Think that it's hard to control people and that they never could be controlled. The fact of the matter is that if you pay tax and think it's OK. If you think school is about learning facts and skills. If you think the government wants what's best for you. If you do anything other than work for yourself or towards working for yourself. You are 100% brainwashed ;-)

Not all mind control is some elaborate isolate, drug and brainwash program done in secret. Some things are as simple as threat of violence. Like pay tax or we send armed men to your house to kidnap you. Some things are as simple as you get this carrot (often money) if you do this (some activity that is detrimental to you). At times they simply wear you out with troons screaming in the streets until you go yeah yeah women can have dicks. To simply make it stop. The most sinister thing they do is inching. For example they add a small say 3% tax and say it's temporary, nobody really cares because it's so little and it's only temporary. Fast forward 30 years and that small little temporary 3% tax is now a permanent 25% tax. Because they inched it up slowly like how you boil a frog without it jumping out of the pot.

"Mind control" suggests there are "controllers" and "controlled", and that these two categories are clearly delineated and consistent. That's not how society looks to me. Those who would be pointed at as being in the "controller" class are every bit as "controlled" as those they in theory are manipulating. The problem with our species is that only the tiniest fraction of the population has a consistent moral code by which they operate. Almost everybody uses "situational morals." It's not that the ruling class has the ability to see a goal and create the control mechanism to manipulate "the masses" into that goal. What we see as "results" are extremely messy, with weird cross-alliances developing on issues where we would expect the "controlling class" to unite, but then suddenly things go chaotic.

The result that you're attributing to mind control is social destruction and chaos. There are people feeding on that chaos, don't get me wrong, but the feeders aren't as coordinated as you make it sound. Each sociopath is running their own particular grift within this miasma of destruction, and on another issue, they might come out more rationally, as long as it doesn't affect their grift.

It's the very lack of moral code that is destroying us most rapidly. Pure corruption, with no unifying tendencies. This doesn't remotely excuse the people "running" the show. They are amoral and committing horrific evil, make no mistake. But the final result of this kind of behavior is not a mind-controlled mass of braindead zombies. No. We're heading more toward the next Dark Age, where there will be feudal lords fighting each other, using their subjects in the fights in the usual brutal and cruel ways we've seen countless times in history. The spikes in "excess deaths" are just the beginning of this process. We ain't seen nothing yet.

Each of us wanting to survive this needs to hunker down and figure out our local resource and protection base. It's the safest way forward in this environment of expanding chaos.
