Why Are So-Called 'Anti-State' Types Still Supporting the State and the Politicians Who

[TheTexan]

Duh... it isn't easy... and it isn't supposed to be easy... changing government policy is supposed to be difficult. You don't want it to be able to change on whim.



Not if it's done right.

Let's all band together then and make this government the best it can be

Lol jeez

Enslaving mankind through fear is nothing new. This technique was already practised in Ancient Egypt between 1800 and 1600 BC. It includes repeating specific phrases and warnings, and symbols and images over and over through various mediums, to paralyse entire populations with a fear psychosis.

Oppressive regimes maintain their grip on the herd by first making them terrified, and convincing them only they, the ruling powers, can protect the population from this threat.

As HL Mencken wrote:

The whole aim of practical politics, is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.
