    A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

    They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

      which is why the car-centric , uncritical-thinking-education-system society that is normalized is most places is …well… being normalized.

      Keeping a large enougj percent of the population sick and stupid leads to infighting where the lower classes of people swuabble and blow up each other rather than the greedy fatcats who hold most of the planet’s resources needlessly and selfishly.

      A billionaire is very happy when they hear the news that a poor person being evicted from one of the homesor apartments that theyre buying probably got shot by the police if they refused to leave cause that police officer will be the one who draws ire from the public rather than the billionaire. ← THIS exact same story has happened a trillion times in history in other instances
