It was good to post this, WE all know what’s happening but the vast majority of people in this country don’t. They just “don’t have the time or inclination to do anything about it. They can’t be bothered, just leave them to their everyday lives. I new about this some years ago, and I wasn’t retired, I just payed attention to what was going on politically and socially. It’s not rocket science.
It’s the “frogs in the pot” scenario, pure and simple.
And it may be too late to do anything about it.
excellent post. Sad, but I see it everyday, everywhere.
The American Revolution was a time of men of strong moral character who were very involved in the governing of their small towns and large towns at the locial level.
“So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty 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
“The Lottery, with its weekly pay-out of enormous prizes, was the one public event to which the proles paid serious attention. It was probable that there were some millions of proles for whom the Lottery was the principal if not the only reason for remaining alive. It was their delight, their folly, their anodyne, their intellectual stimulant. Where the Lottery was concerned, even people who could barely read and write seemed capable of intricate calculations and staggering feats of memory. There was a whole tribe of men who made their living simply by selling systems, forecasts, and lucky amulets. Winston had nothing to do with the Lottery, which was managed by the Ministry of Plenty, but he was aware (indeed everyone in the party was aware) that the prizes were largely imaginary. Only small sums were actually paid out, the winners of the big prizes being nonexistent persons.”
― George Orwell, 1984
