It's a psychological, technological and economic fight. And, the problem is that most Americans misinterpret what they see. They think they are fighting it, but, they are not. They are unwittingly complicit. They complain and blame current office holders, but they don't see that the people they replace them have been and will continue to do the same----------with their full support both politically and economically.

They enslave us by making us ashamed to say "no" when they decide to have a war. They enslave us by making us feel ashamed to stand up to the corporatists, for fear of long term or permanent unemployment. They enslave us by siding with the same corporatists when they wrong us. They enslave us by brainwashing us into thinking we'll burn in hell for being happy and acting according to our own will and judgement. They enslave us by attaching a digital history to us that we cannot evade or escape.

Kicking in your door and taking your peashooters is an archaic method. It is no longer necessary.

Welcome to the Brave New World, Barney.

I really can't argue with anything you say.

But the powers that be apparently have a problem with hoi polloi and their peashooters.

Otherwise, why do they go to such lengths to separate the two?

It for sure ain't because they are concerned about us killing one another. As a matter of fact, if they can get the right contingents killing one another, they'll furnish them with all of the peashooters they need.

Kind of a piss poor way to keep everybody honest at the poker table, but it's better than no way at all.
