6. That's the hard pill

for everyone to swallow, my friend.

It sounds like indulging in an anti-establishment rant, but when you investigate the bigger picture and see beyond the Simulated hyper-real projection into the collective experience by media, politicians and corporations, it becomes more tangible and clear.

Maybe the alarm will go off and more people will wake-up one morning with a sense of courage that allows them to admit that they are projecting "hopes for change" while they are merely coping with a cognitive dissonance that leaves them coping with strange.

We are losing it all and, if major corporations and their control of and influence in politics, media, entertainment, food, education, and everything else, is not reigned in and curtailed, it is not hard to extrapolate the legacy our children and their children will be left with. In fact, we are already slipping down that slope faster every day.

Back to total tyranny? Living in manufactured consent and enveloped in propaganda backed by Draconian laws in a military industrial complex? Sounds like a dystopia that is not worth living in, especially if most of us are going to get a third-world environment eventually.
