RE: There is a monopoly on violence in science, the religious myth of the atom bomb
It's interesting how these strategies are almost identical to some marketing ones: appeal to the basic instincts and drive certain behaviors without the knowledge of the individual being influenced. It's almost like marketing ideas... But for the masses, and for darker purposes than to buy a TV.
I would guess it is non-conscious, that the spread of religious myths, including statism, is a result of memes finding niches in genetic bias, such as survival instincts, and that the idea of conspiracies is a mythologization in itself, ascribing intent and agency to actors that are, just, laws of nature. Individual events do have conscious actors, but the myths outlive their brief life span, and as memes are inherited without filtration and also imitated back and forth, and mutate, the result is far more complex than any single individual actor. The tendency to ascribe intent is also a cognitive fallacy, theory of mind.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS. Do you have a post listing the resources I could go to learn all this prohibited knowledge? I know you have cited sources, but do you happen to have them in one single place?
It's just statism, you can study it like you study anything else in nature, an E. coli culture in a petri dish or a coral reef
