    They don’t give a crap about religion. That’s always been just something to motivate gullible idiots. Look at the stupidest and cringiest billionaire constantly whining about racial superiority and needing to breed people etc. they want you to work and they want 60% of whatever you create or labor for and they want you to have children that you pay for college for. They want you to rent your own slave quarters in buildings that they own. When I read history and compare it to ourselves, I can’t help but think we’re livestock that has been trained to be docile. At any other point in history, somebody would have murdered the worst offenders gleefully. They either managed to program us well or convince us to never do anything because we’re so comfortable at the cost of destroying the environment.

      Panem et circenses, baby!

      As long as people are kept fed and entertained, they will tolerate a lot of bullshit.

      We have food, so much food that the majority of people are obese. We have entertainment, cheap. Bread and circuses like never before.

      People in other points in history spent generation after generation living under much worse conditions without murdering their oppressors. Don’t romanticize the past.
