Human beings have been subjected to and used lies since the beginning of time. Deception, the most common lie is part of survival in a cruel world and developing that skill whether obtaining a mate or a new car has proven indispensable. Coupled with our capacity for denial, also indispensable, the two are woven into the fabric of relationships at every level. Let’s face it too many people throughout history were and now are incapable of recognizing or accepting their being taken advantage of by people who are adept at manipulation for their own self interest. You are correct we must pool our resources by stressing our common Americanism regardless of viewpoint or background. Trump represents a rude and unpredictable ego maniac with a mastery of self promotion while Brandon represents a polite yet slimy snake oil investor., they are both full of shit. Our government and all governments must be feared since they have pooled their resources and will lie, cheat and kill to maintain their power.
****Human beings have been subjected to and used lies since the beginning of time.****
What does this even mean? What is the beginning of time? Do you mean pre-civilization humans were also a bunch of liars? If so, where is your proof? Is there something in the archaeological record that proves pre-civilizational humans were living in a Truman Show of their own making?
Let’s not get technical and allow nuance it’s place. Yes deception is a fundamental human and animal trait key to survival. Maybe I was referring to the invention of the clock.
Call it government, financial capitalism, call it oligarchy or whatever you want it’s simply the application of domination through the use of power. Your admiration for China seems to accept the states unrestricted use of violence to achieve a collective objective. All governments should be feared and it’s the apathy and ignorance of the majority that emboldens those who would dominate them. I would rather be sick than rely on a government to provide and dominate my access to a doctor.
