Ten Ways Billionaires Who Hate You Are Manipulating You Right Now by @thewisewolf
1) The first manipulation is the illusion of choice. You think you have two parties representing different visions for America but both parties are funded by the same billionaires, vote for the same surveillance bills, approve the same defense budgets, and serve the same corporate interests. The choice you are given is which color tie the puppet wears, not who controls the strings.
2) The second manipulation is emotional hijacking. The news does not inform you, it activates you. Every story is framed to trigger fear or anger or disgust because those emotions bypass your rational thinking and make you easier to control. You are not watching journalism. You are being subjected to psychological operations designed to keep you in a constant state of agitation.
3) The third manipulation is tribal sorting. The algorithm learns what makes you angry and feeds you more of it until your entire worldview is shaped by outrage at the other side. You are sorted into a tribe not because you chose it but because keeping you tribal keeps you predictable and profitable.
4) The fourth manipulation is false scarcity. You are told resources are limited and the other tribe is taking what belongs to you. Immigrants are stealing your jobs. Welfare recipients are draining your taxes. The other party is destroying your healthcare. Meanwhile the billionaire class has more wealth than any humans in history and could solve most of these problems tomorrow if they wanted to.
5) The fifth manipulation is memory holing. Stories that threaten powerful interests get buried or forgotten within days. Exposed crimes result in no consequences. Historical context that would help you understand the present is never taught. You are kept in a perpetual present with no past to learn from and no future to plan for.
6) The sixth manipulation is controlled opposition. The voices you think are fighting for you are often funded by the same interests they pretend to oppose. The outrage merchant on your side of the aisle is playing a character designed to keep you engaged and angry and tuned in while nothing ever actually changes.
7) The seventh manipulation is the Overton window. The range of acceptable opinion is artificially narrowed so that anything outside it seems extreme. Ideas that were mainstream fifty years ago are now treated as radical. Ideas that serve elite interests are treated as moderate common sense. You are not choosing your beliefs from the full range of human thought. You are choosing from a menu they wrote.
8) The eighth manipulation is learned helplessness. You are shown so many problems with no solutions that you eventually give up and accept that nothing can change. This is intentional. A population that believes resistance is futile does not resist. They scroll and complain and feel superior for understanding how bad things are while doing absolutely nothing about it.
9) The ninth manipulation is identity capture. Your political affiliation becomes your identity, and any attack on your party feels like an attack on you personally. This makes you defend politicians and policies that harm you because admitting they are wrong would mean admitting you were wrong, and your ego will not allow that.
10) The tenth manipulation is the most insidious of all: you are manipulated into believing you are too smart to be manipulated. Every person reading this thinks the manipulations I described apply to other people, the stupid people, the brainwashed people on the other side. That certainty is itself a manipulation. The moment you believe you are immune is the moment you become most vulnerable
Re thoughts and prayers - sorry, but if that really worked, this life I’m living would be totally different. That concept of thoughts and prayers bringing change, is also - well, uhm, not so. Said based on my age, and lifetime observations of so-called “results” of thoughts and prayers by any number of individuals and groups. A “match” of sorts of intent may occur, but it generally doesn’t really change anything. There are reasons for that - and having been taught by religion that change is so, as a result of thoughts and prayers, is another ruse by religion for control, management purposes. Governing bodies do the same thing, using different terminology.
Indeed religion of every sort is to control and siphon money. A lady in a group I meet with, her husband went into the hospital a month ago and was given 6-8 hours to live. She said she prayed and then she took him home the next day. She said she was an atheist and is now wondering. I've had many prayers answered, but not all get answered. Read the book of James if you want to understand prayer.
Maybe that doctor was just wrong in his assessment. The fellow may have left the next day, anyway. I can’t say her prayer didn’t work, but neither can I say it did. Have read all that stuff multiple times, in many of the versions of that book, which is one of the reasons I give it little credence, along with other readings, experience. Perhaps there was a frequency, vibration element between the husband and wife and things just synced up, so to speak. There are many possibilities.
The Yeast 2.0 thing is wild when you think about it. The shift from discovering biology to compiling it changes everything about how we approach living systems. It's kinda like when programming went from machine code to high-level languages, suddenly the barrier to entry for building complex stuff dropped. I wonder if this means we're gonna see garage biohackers become as common as software devs, excpet the stakes are way diffrent.
Turkey - When some design failure as random as snow falling from a roof to take out hydro and do major damage,.....why is there always someone ready to video it from before it starts until afterwards,...and only the one building of the 3 fell? Wondering if some p___'d off tenants were up there pushing it off and wanted it for the scrapbook.

All weather is now manipulated by abject evil forces. None of this weather/temperatures/storms are natural. Something needs to be done.

Thank you for your suggestion, though.
