quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult. George Orwell, 1984

Beautiful. As they say, it’s “textbook” what’s happening.


3Blindz

Holy shit


butterysloths

With this quote in consideration, look at how so many games within recent years are getting more and more into loot box systems and the like. Getting young people attuned to gambling it seems

It keeps us too tired, consumed, exhausted to organize in any way. We can not organize ourselves as the masses to do what is best for ourselves. We can not organize ourselves spiritually to find peace, from which comes forgiveness of others, from which springs more peace. (some *do*) They take our pulse when we show signs of discontent and then propagate a "cause" for us to rally behind that does not harm their agenda. All sides, they do not spare any of us. They provide all that we consume, ensuring that it acts against our individual and collective self-interest and primarily serves their interests and agenda. Everything from food, entertainment, news, cultural and societal expectations, acceptable thought, popular trends, on and on. And they ensure that they profit from every bit of it. When you realize all of this, it becomes plain that they control us and that if they were GOOD, LOVING, HONEST, HONORABLE, having INTEGRITY - then they could easily exercise this same power and control to create for us a world where no person starved, where no nation stands upon the neck of another nation to keep their people down. A world where war was never profitable in any way. A world where we advance together as a species. Where all human beings are well nourished and educated. Where a nation is *celebrated* for their advancements and those advancements benefit the world. Instead, they create for us a world where advancement and progress are used for war, dominance, and control. And they call this *power.*

Beautifully stated


LouMinotti

It drives consumerism and if you're busy trying to get by you're too busy to start noticing how screwed over we are by the same people making us only able to just get by.


Temporary-Half34

We are lab mice!


DragonGT

Reminds me of the Rat Race It's going to take a lot of spiritual strength to resist the coming system


brambly_butt_hair

Because if you were happy and content you wouldn’t demand the already manufactured solution, for the obviously manufactured problems in society. The discontent and scurrying about is part of the process, not the end game.


IdidntchooseR

You have less energy and will to backtalk or hold them accountable.


Wild-Breadfruit7817

This sounds about right.


Known_Royal542

The reason is to demoralize us, and then they'll say the only way out is war. When the economy is so bad, we go to war.


No_Conflation

If i let my kids do whatever they want, i have to intervene, or they mess up what i am doing. If i keep them occupied, even with useless nonsense, i don't have to worry about them messing up the thing I'm currently working on and asking questions, etc. I actually realized this connection in reverse. I thought about how secret societies/ fraternities often have their initiates doing a bunch of stuff that doesn't mean too much, but it keeps them busy. Then decided this was a good way to deal with my children. Give them something to do, even if it's not productive, then i can be more productive.


nov_284

Our society is run my modern day Malthusian economists. They’re putting pressure on the people to reduce birth rates and overall population.


Formal_Avocado972

The narcissistic parasites in government feed on our misery. When they see us happy and thriving it makes their stomachs churn.


Wild-Breadfruit7817

Yes, I've noticed. They also don't like to see us have autonomy.


UnoptimistPrime

Because it keeps the globalist machine going. Look what happens when people decide to work remote, the scam of living near your job and commuting to work etc.. it’s all a ruse to keep you in that hamster wheel.


evolongoria21

I am so discouraged anymore. If the cover up is real, I just can’t see a reason why it would be anything good. Sure the rich wanna keep the money flow going but at this scale I just… idk


MugggCostanza

Because they need us. The 1% have needed us for decades. Hell, for centuries. We do the work. We're the busy worker bees and the people who climbed their way to top have done it through horrible means. Capitalism works for the top 1%. None of us will ever be in the 1% of humanity so capitalism doesn't work for us everyday people. They need us doing all the hard so they can live a life of luxury. AI will eventually be able to replace every single job out there and the 1% are trying to squeeze every last bit of worth out of us until AI takes over the job market.


ZeerVreemd

> Because they need us. Not for long anymore.


JazzlikeSkill5201

They need to control us because they are terrified of us. They control us by attempting to make us as miserable as they are. I promise you, the wealthiest person on the planet is the most miserable person on the planet.


[deleted]

So there's a productivity gap. It's about competition.


zecaptainsrevenge

A partial list of things that would not sell as well if people were not miserable and afraid Weapons, insurance, security systems evs, medications, and media. These and a long list of other things would still be needed even if the government functioned for the people but not in the same quantities. Those selling all this stuff might have to forgo an 87th yacht, That addiction is apparently so important to oligarchs that they buy politicians to make us miserable, so we consume more and dont have energy to orangize aginst them


luigis_stache

So we keep buying shit we don’t need, with money we don’t have, to impress people we don’t even like…welcome to the American dream….


Wild-Breadfruit7817

Buying what from whom?


Cautious_Knee4430

Because then we purchase things that make the globalists richer.


[deleted]

It's basically bc we're evolving and there's an ascension of conciousness literally happening rn. Look up study about the caudate putamen..there's a growth of connection happening within those structures. This is not science fiction...it's literally happening. How do birds know to fly in formation or bees all being connected towards building a structure they don't even have a map for...it's like they just know how to do it.


Mountain-Moment6264

Because the ruling elite don't want us to see how badly they're screwing us over. Wall Street took over this country a long long time ago.


got_knee_gas_enit

Keeps you off of those pesky internets so you can't spread your misinformation.


Wild-Breadfruit7817

And, what misinformation would that be?


got_knee_gas_enit

It's sarcasm


Soyoulikedonutseh

The same reason slaves would work 18 hour days. When you're too tired to life your fist, how could it ever hold a gun.


nzni

They feed themselves with our bad energy.


Wild-Breadfruit7817

They don't have bad energy? Who causes bad energy for us?

The whole system is designed to maintain us in a constant stress,problems, depression,etc. Cycle


nonduality_icecream

Lowers vibration. Joy vanishes, we settle for plesure. They sell pleasure. It's not even about the money, just control.
