just in case anyone isn't sure why, it's capitalism and the greed crazy pedos at the top of it
And yet, they called us witches, heretics, demonspawn. Every time, an admission in a new coat of blame paint, fresh from their favorite "holy" bucket of shit.
Because both sides are following marketed debates specifically meant to distract you.
And that's also why both sides want to crucify people that understand the above fact.
...and that's why things generally never change.... Because psychology and marketing own the nation down to the mas marketed lifestyles people think make them individualistic and self expressive.
"Both sides"? Oh yeah, the side that simply wants people to live freely are equally a problem as the side that wants to kill us 🤡
All I see from the "freedom fighter" are people that are still paying the system that hurts people.
Like buying guns from the enemy to fight the enemy.
Or like the system you are "fighting for" sells the guns to both sides and watches both sides fight while they profit and control you still.
They dumbed people down to believe the "sides" instead of the broad reality of true freedom. People are fighting for "them", left or right. Left or right the same evil is gaining profits, because it's a business, it not a special altruistic movement for greater humanity. They will play your heart strings to profit and make you think you are fighting for good.
The greatest weapon is psychology. And they've paved the path of humanity for centuries. The human experience now revolves around the lies they created. And it's going to be worse once the ai surveillance and governing come into play. The past 60 years have been insane. Cable tv and magazine marketing... To internet marketing... Data mining with smartphones..... They can already market and create a life path for you with great precision to target your specific psychology. And make it seem as though it was your own free will that got you there. This is where the lifestyles come into play, they consolidate similar psyches into lifestyles grouped for easier control - controlled group think. And I see both sides distracted, the lifestyle are distracted, so that the real owners of humanity can further implement their control as the two side fight about pre marketed debates specifically made to take eyes off the real game.
The data centers being built aren't for us regular people to use and have access to chatgpt.... That's the distraction marketed to allow them to build data centers for further surveillance and social manipulation at an even greater level of precision that will be constant in this new digital age we are blindly funding. They use "both sides" for their benefits and power, both sides live subservient, domesticated like cattle, under the true owners of humanity.
"...It's a vast subject, a dense subject. I can't possibly do justice to it in the time allowed. This means I'm going to have to insult your intelligence by skimming across the top of subjects that you could get a PhD dissertation written in and still not cover thoroughly. This massive documentation of course is the salvation of the intellectually attuned. I urge you to read for yourselves. Do not take anything I'm saying tonight as the gospel. I'm telling you that our leaders lie to us. They lie to us systematically. They lie to us with a purpose that may not be your purpose. Some of their lies, if you're a young man may motivate you, uh, to go off someday and die, be killed or to kill people."

Distract you from what? What ever your answer is, how do you know it isn't a distraction as well?
You can kind of distill all the bullshit away. And what is left is truth. And that truth may not be pretty, it might be chaos. And when you get there paradoxes form in terms of the questions of "how to make this place more livable".
That's not really a good answer to your question, I know. But this topic is basically impossible to simply express.
Here are some of my thoughts that might bring together the ideas.

Also this, which is from the first link...

So your take is that they control us. They control everything and manipulate us. Guess what, that's what both sides agree on. The question is, who are they? The Jews or other minority groups? Or the rich and wealthy who demonstrably hold actual power? Both sides will say that the elected rulers don't have the best interest of common people in mind. One side says elections are stolen, the other one says they are designed the favor the rich. One says the system is good but some people exploit it, the other says the system is the problem and we need a new one. Both sides look similar at first glance but one is the evil doppelganger of the other (to point to a great book by Naomi Klein about that topic).
But you're not saying anything of relevance. Your points might be true or not, I don't care. But your not engaging the question of the meme. Your not beyond it, your behind.
