Our "bread and circuses" mentality is being used against us with great effectiveness. Cutting off or (curtailing) media consumption would go a long way toward addressing this problem.

The establishment political apparatus (purposeful word salad) would not be able to pull off what is going down... using fear and stressing the political herd to break us down by engineered pandemics, supply chain issue games, pushing social issue agendas and igniting race and gender identity wars and employing government "advocacy" (demagoguery) to censor dissent and characterize those who dare question the official narrative as terrorists and domestic enemies that need to be reported and watched...

Just one example: Ignoring the coronavirus power grabs, protocols that have ultimately proven to have little if any medical efficacy, restrictions imposed unevenly, with curious lenience being afforded to political pet groups when the supposed objective is limiting the spread of a dangerous and deadly virus, and other political agitation hinted at my "race and gender identity wars" reference, the decision of our Government health experts to somehow see remedies to cyclical challenges like seasonal flus by destroying food supply at a time when costs have already been on the rise due to OTHER supply chain stresses and shortages that have clustered themselves on the world in the past three years.

Avian/bird flus have existed for generations- likely well before we had the ability to trace their origins, and the ways we've dealt with their rises have not included massive disruptions of food supply... yet it seems now that the go-to remedies our leaders use seem to necessitate instigating massive shortages and inflation.

Meanwhile the population they're ostensibly trying to starve and impoverish is kept diverted- worshipping at the media-created altars of Ukraine, race equity, mandated, tax-funded compassion for illegal immigrants, and the newly-minted standards of PC propriety in the use of pronouns.

Nah- we're not getting screwed with. No, really!
