Greetings good citizen, in what's likely a 'teaching moment' for most of you, the average Russian probably pities us more than they HATE us and the tempest in a teapot is 'manufactured' by the SAME morons that eviscerated our political system.
A rather damning indictment on its own.
Once again the camera and microphone turn inward to reveal the source of the problem...'you'll tell' em this if you want to see your next paycheck.'
(Did I mention we're doing this WRONG?)
Um, civilization can't survive without accurate, unbiased information...which is a 'tall order' in itself considering how many of you are STILL scared spitless of any number of 'bogeymen'...thanks to the feckless who rely on your fear to keep you in line.
It also contradicts the above statement, civilization [a sadly crippled version of it] has limped along this far through some of the most polluted knowledge streams imaginable...[largely because much of it WAS IMAGINARY!]
Perhaps one of the difficulties facing our species is our failure to recognize and reconcile the fact that much of what we are handed as gospel is garbage [usually of the self-serving variety!]
ANOTHER damning factor against the 'manipulators in the media' is the 'everybody hates us' meme. Most of us could give a shit. We're all caught up in the struggle to keep our heads above water [and on the rare occasion that it isn't our personal crap in the fire, it's that of a loved one we're trying to keep from coming to grief caused by some player shitbag that only thinks they are all that and a heap of cheesy fries...]
Audacity is something that most of us revile but the players among us use it to prove they are 'smarter than you'.
But it's NEVER smart to threaten the people you rely on for your very existence.
But it doesn't stop 'em...which is STUPID writ large!
When will we realize we would ALL be much better off working together than working against one another?
How manic is it to realize for anything [good, bad or indifferent] it's built in to our DNA to oppose part of it just to be 'safe'...
How pathetic people will resist change because even if they hate their current circumstances, they FEAR change more?
I'm not talking about just our Russian brethren here, I'm talking all of humanity...and a now antiquated 'safety mechanism' built into us all to resist 'change' because our makers needed us to stay 'on task'.
The 'bugs' holding us back are holdovers from our beginnings as 'tools' used to gather resources so they could get the heck out of here.
Now they're gone and we're on our own.
How tragic we (some of us anyway) are too stupid to appreciate our freedom?
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
Gegner
PS: How ironic if the next 'great leap' (intellectually/socially) is reliant on our realizing how we came to be, which would 'clarify' why we are 'like this'...
Almost as ironic as questions revealing more of the truth than facts...go figure?
