Almost daily, we run into friends, family, and/or co-workers who are passionate partisans. If they cannot address us directly, unfortunately, many of them post their partisan passions on social media. Immediately, we know that they have not seen the man behind the curtain. They are still useful idiots, God bless their souls.
“Your rulers do not care what race you are. They do not care if you are gay, transgendered or nonbinary. They do not care how many bullets you are allowed to have in your gun. They do not care if you are allowed to have an abortion or not. They do not care whether you are racist, sexist, ageist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic or fatphobic. They do not care about diverse representation in politics or media, and they do not care about any lack thereof. All they care about is that we all keep thinking, speaking, working, consuming and voting in ways which keep them rich and powerful and keep us poor and powerless. And they will happily keep us arguing as intensely as possible about the things they do not care about so that we don't turn our attention to the things they do care about.” – Caitlin Johnstone
I could not put it any better, so I just quoted Ms. Johnstone because she is one of the enlightened. She has looked behind the curtain, and like us, she is horrified. And, I would just like to point out that I disagree with Ms. Johnstone on nearly every political issue, but, at this time, and I believe that she would agree, that none of that is of any relevance at this point in human history. Why? Because. while our rulers have us arguing about issues that have virtually no effect on our lives, they are treading dangerously close to World War III and the Greatest Depression in the History of Mankind. It is horrifying because we are the 2% that see it, and the useful idiots (the 98%) seem oblivious to it and join in by pouring additional gasoline on the fire.
