A Natural State of Psychopathy

Interesting article.

It isn't just a question of ignorance, but a question of the long-term thoroughness of the propagandizing that began in the early days of the last century. It was proposed that this propaganda is so complete that not only are most people in the US ignorant of what is taking place on the US political scene, and in the world as a direct result of US policy, they are ignorant of the fact that they are ignorant. They have been inculcated with the view that their view is the only "right" one" and, consequently, they really "don't know any better". In short: "What do you do if you don't know that you don't know something?"

Good catch.

It's the same sort of culture that existed during the gilded age. Hopefully we'll snap out of it. Unfortunatley it took a depression to snap us out of it last time.

That's coming. Every fiat economy has collapsed. Every one.
