Don't be a tool
I created this drawing as an expression of how I see the division being pushed in the media currently.
The protests I see going on around the country are extremely disheartening to me. I can’t help but think that the whole system is rigged. That those who are in power are little more than actors, and those truly running things have a clear agenda. As I am fully conspiracy minded at this point, and don’t trust anything that comes from politicians or sanctioned media… I feel still, to a large extent this viewpoint is a minority. I find it hard to understand why though.. Even the most brainwa-...er good citizen will concede, that it is commonplace for politicians to lie. It is also clear that our news outlets lie. Still, you good citizens just accept this. It is quasi-accepted that Kennedy was assassinated by factions within our own government… Same thing with 9/11 being an inside job. The list goes on. Still, doesn’t seem to matter. I honestly don’t understand this.
Every organized group must have money to organize. These assertions are only common sense. I would assert it’s at best rare that a rich and powerful individual funding activist groups would do it because they align with a cause or struggle… They likely have other intentions. This means that many if not most of these activist groups will likely become corrupted if they grow large and are well funded… as a consequence of this, they serve only as a tool for whatever bigger, likely self serving cause the elite donor(s) may have. Again this is only common sense. Isn’t it?
While it’s true some of these groups represent disgusting ideologies. I am doubtful that any counter protest ever succeeded in swaying those drowning in ignorance. If a person has made up their mind, no amount of screaming in their face is going to change their mind. Most of us know this just from experiencing life with our own family and friends. How could it work for a stranger. If anything it may embolden them to escalate their tactics to something other than verbal. As we have seen already.
Aside from the above points. The controllers have declawed protest to a large extent. Speech is free or it’s not. It’s an absolute, just like: true or false... on or off. Today you good citizens have to protest in free speech zones. This in itself is an oxymoron. That’s like saying the animals in the zoo are free, in the same way as those in the wild. Just some more common sense there. It seems to me these protests better serve the powers by distracting and dividing us. This way the controllers can do the things they do best throughout the world.
