(711 posts)the empowered elite realized that humans are fundamentally stupid creatures and will believe pretty much anything that someone who resembles an authority figure tells them. that principal is used to implement the divide and conquer strategy of economic disenfranchisement.
see, Americans are alright if you can isolate one of them and talk sense to them, usually they'll behave reasonably and recognize logic and reason, even if they can't seem to understand what exactly it is that they are recognizing. they'll nod their heads in a somewhat disoriented fashion and say something like "well, things just are the way they are".
google search "mass culture".

(711 posts)then the baby boomers happened
generation "we can do whatever we want and it will be just fine"
that's not really the right way to word it. so what is?....hmmm....
generation "knowledge and understanding are superfluous, feeling good is critical."
I'm somewhat disheartened by the current state of affairs regarding our nations educational practices, accepted child rearing normalities, and cultural obsession with violence.

(41,051 posts)The US is loosing its Middle Class, the largest & greatest the world has ever seen. We are No. 2 behind Canada since 2013. We are now No. 17 in Education in the world. Having no large middle class and mobility upwards through education & jobs, means a tiny ruling elite class of the very wealthy, a very small middle class, and a huge lower class. That means no way out for the many, in the lower class. it means mass misery & suffering. Things have to change, now.
