A rude awakening. But the truth always hurts. However much protests and dissent alone will not change the fundamental Right of Domination of the elite ruling class, we have to keep going. We have to reach critical mass for other supporting forces to come into play.

Yes, I always try to get authors to correct their typos or misspellings so that I can forward on their stellar essays to my grammarian sister.

"At the present time, they have a limited way of dealing with protests and dissent as the appearance of freedom, liberty and democracy need to be upheld for the time being, right until both, mass surveillance and digital enslavement are implemented in place."

Your passage above gives reason to why the USA corporate media is silent with what's happening in France these past two weeks in the streets.

Finally a substacker who's saying something that carries power to move a mind forward through all this muck. And it's a ghost town. Tells you something about us modern humans doesn't it? Say something powerful and true, something that shakes belief foundations & shines a light or causes a mind to re-think things & watch people steer clear. Oh well.... folks just want a nice, easy, happy road out of the hell we've created but, it doesn't work that way, does it?

The more "hard pills" I find myself swallowing, the more this all looks to me like some kind of "Theater of Madness" playing itself out. I've come to see that to fight "the man", "elites", to "join the resistance" or what-have-you, is to enter an arena/stage created by and for people who believe in power-rule, ie, people with gangster mentalities.

It ain't hard to see that power over people ultimately happens through the barrel of a gun. Therefore, there can be no important difference between people fighting over who gets to shoot it. Mob boss, King in a castle, street thug, national citizen, revolutionary, these are all the same thing.

Exit theater. One less madman skulking around kicking dirt into the finite amount of air we all have to breathe.

Very good as always. Our architecture of reality is not built on science or laws but stories. Turning out the lights in the Western cave might be best achieved by focusing on school shootings and moon landings imho. The narrative is weak there and pulling on that thread might help people unravel more for themselves. Though they may well kill us in the dark.
