Something for all to consider

Everyone really should spend a few minutes and watch this. Some Americans will be offended. I officially dont care.. A few will recognise themselves.. Most wont even watch to the end.
I think the non Americans will see a lot more in it they recognise..😷

I'm not really worried.
People are so not willing to passively give up what they perceive as their freedoms that they throw a fit over having to wear masks lol.
Not quite the complacent society of Brave New World.

I think this video makes some interesting points but the comparisons to American society are a bit forced. Like comparing the distraction of Soma to prescription medication or the opioid crisis? Come on. Ain't no one giving up their liberties because they take anxiety meds and "crisis" is right in the description of our attitude toward opioids lol.

@Pikachu Some fair points. But.. "Are we there yet?" It isnt a stretch to see the social engineering of consumerism at work.. And your mask comment, why pertinent, I see as the perfect distraction, reminding Americans how free they are at no cost to the powers that be, other than burying the victims.😷

I can believe that. But with the masks i think you're straying into conspiracist territory when you take a counter example to placid surrender of freedoms and describe it as a ploy by "the powers that be".

@Pikachu I would actually place it with the gun argument. Its a way of "expressing" freedom by showing rebellion that satisfies the mob..😷
