RE: Dreamers
Your post and Caitlin's appeared side by side in my feed. Nicely timed indeed !
I'm a dreamer. Sometimes feel like I'm the only one. I celebrate every time I find signs of life, people that share a similar outlook. Those that weigh facts, are interested in history and detail, and forge their own opinions.
But it seems that it is far easier for the majority of folk (well here in Oz anyway) to capitulate to fears that take seed in the fertility of their own ignorance. To hate and blame those that are different, celebrate "heroes" that are anything but, and be immersed in small rectangular worlds of distraction.
One day there will be one lie too many. People will find the discipline to reject and overcome the never ending invective of carefully choreographed mind manipulating messages from the mainstream media, and the myth factory that is Hollywood. Government spin doctors. Think tanks of truth making.
We can turn them off. Unsubscribe. Close accounts. Boycott.
Develop the maturity to accept that our country is not one of the "good guys". We are not on the right side of history. That patriotism lies in the courage to stand up and shout this out loud, and not the meek and fearful acceptance of the current delusion.
Yes we do vastly outnumber them, and we can make it count.
Really well said! I love your phrase "fertility of their own ignorance".
Absolutely. We can already see how the masses are disconnecting from MSM outlets like CNN for instance. These social media giants are next, imho.
Indeed. But we need more patriots. People are too busy working their slave jobs to pay their endless debts and when they do have time off, they tune out and their brains drift into alpha (passive) mode hence more susceptible to brainwashing through propaganda they are fed by MSM, Fakebook, etc.
Oh, and I already have another Steemit user that joined my free mini course Meaning in Song: John Lennon's Imagine; so feel free to join to by dropping me a line and I will sign you up asap. Sometimes, its nice to try something new and converse more deeply on something.
