Statism is barbarism.  The so-called elites can’t convince you of this so they must use more subtle methods of persuasion.  Statism dirties everything it touches.  What is called “education” is actually propaganda.  Statism is the established religion in the world.  They say “conspiracy theory” or “everybody’s doing it” to end the discussion.  The human race is threatened by this madness. 

The goal is to make you stupid and slothful, not a free and independent thinker.  This way you can be blind to the totalitarianism in your face.  “Education” has increased over the years, but critical thinking has declined—significantly.  At most, you’re taught to regurgitate propaganda.  The repeating of slogans is cloaked as “progress.”  It’s the exact opposite.  It’s a process of de-civilization.  A return to barbarism.

Many go along with this because that’s the way things are.  This is the status quo bias.  The slaves don’t know they’re slaves.  The multitude are indoctrinated about the realities of life.  The state is viewed as grand, so you appear insignificant by comparison to reinforce the bias that already exists.  A small amount can be advocated as “reasonable” to avoid shocking the public with their true goals.

There are many problems to distract you from the goal which is global totalitarianism.  There has been an enormous amount of central bank printed money leading to: inflation and depression; man-made supply chain issues; never ending wars; a new scary pandemic to worry about; food and formula shortages.  Various hobgoblins to be worried about.  All of this is to keep you from thinking.  It’s easier to keep people in submission when they don’t have time to think.

Statism is the danger to the multitude.  By multitude, I mean the world.  Statism can’t produce anything, but dead bodies.  Statism has killed millions and enslaved many more.  Contrary to propaganda, capitalism doesn’t do either of those.  Political parties have replaced the church.  They want you to believe it’s reasonable to act anyway as long as you have approval from some political party.
