An interesting but unfortunate take on what's happening in our country

[Newest Reality]

8. Interesting take.

The bind here is the virtual chain to corporations that own and control the means of production. If we consider the reality of how we are chained to them. How much do you own, or can see right now in your surround is not provided by a corporation?

That puts it in a more direct and intimate context because we can complain and criticize the bottom-line, profit-only model of said companies, but are we able to deal with the bondage of the chains they have gently wrapped around us using commercial lubrication and addictive anesthetics? Did anyone complain, scream or cry during their slow indoctrination into the brand of life in capitalist America? Yet, this was foreseen.

As for religion, it is only a control mechanism for the gullible. There are deep and mostly ignored values to it, (though using the word tends to be just a broad brush they paint with in order to justify a screed). A very broad and careful investigation to the various kinds of religions, (not just a myopic view of Western ones as if they ARE all the religion is) reveals that our treatment of the subject here is rather superficial and myopic, to say the least. The fundamentalists are literally killing religion in that sense and crucifying Christianity by way of a gestalt of pure hypocrisy as per Evangelical McChristianity which simply takes advantage of the people, who may also respond well to corporate and political manipulation which brings about a convergence of the two and is not in line at all with the teachings they profess, if one looks into the matter.
