Think about the reality of most everyone in this country today, and how insanely controlled we are.

Most everyone works for a major corporation and buy our goods from major corporations who resell goods made by major corporations, and all with money that’s value is determined by trust in the system, not gold, or silver, but trust in the system we’re all living and in a mutually assured collective destruction if it all fails.

Our food and drugs are grown, produced, controlled, and distributed by same mega corporations almost without deviation. The food makes you sick, and the drugs treat your symptoms the food is responsible for.

You have to use the technology you’re told you must, which is constantly making the previous product you purchased obsolete, which in turn makes you have to buy more so that you can keep pace with the rest of the robots.

Our news of the day is told to us what is of importance to us, and even our views are spoon fed us through various medium. This is pretty and this is ugly. This is good, and this is bad, and all of it agrees or is castigated as fringe and bad.

You don’t actually own anything, not even your own property that you pay taxes on to keep. Your inheritance is taxed so that it never ends, but is passed down to your children. We are basically working to consume and exist in a gigantic colony.

Everything must be sacrificed to be like everyone else. Your language must go. Your accent must go. Your culture must go, or be exploited for financial gain. Individualism is radical and dangerous, but conformism is just being a good citizen.

Everything hinges upon your acceptance of your life as normal, and individualism or self reliance as crazy and dangerous. We call this normal, but it’s actually just programming from an early age, and almost no one actually benefits unless they are those controlling the strings at the top, and still they must go along or be ostracized and lose their place.

From a worldwide perspective, we have it pretty good here in the greatest country in the world.

I choose to maintain an attitude of gratitude and continuously count my life's many blessings.

The dysfunctional reality we live in

I was a middle class kid who grew up, started a family, ten years later started a business, and 25 years later sold it (the business. Kept the family). Now I’m retired with more than I could ever spend. But I live in America. Where is that unfortunate land in which you live?

Glad you made it. Now, just make sure your grandchildren remember their own gender.

The reality is you don't HAVE to do any of that, you choose to.

Nothing is stopping you from living off the grid or moving to a less developed country where none of that matters.

Your life is so comfortable that you wouldn't risk it to actually shun those things you've outlined .

Do people even think before calling everything ‘crazy’ or ‘insane’?

Partly blame ease of travel for vanishing cultures.

Where would that be that I don’t have to purchase and pay taxes on to hold?

Well what else are we gonna do about it? Not everyone can be free from the system. If it were easy then everybody would do it.
