The world we live in today didn’t happen by accident. It was shaped over generations by systems that indoctrinated people to equate obedience with safety and freedom with chaos. What we now call "normal" is really the result of a slow, steady conditioning that has taken place since the first governments of ancient Sumer. People have been domesticated by the state to fear their own liberty like a servile dog who’s been kept in a kennel so long that the open field terrifies him.
I sat in church this morning while the pastor and congregation cheered because a bill to legalize prostitution may be dead.
Even their God, and holy book, that says do not fear over 300 times, cannot save them from themselves.
