I sometimes wonder who is insane enough to be behind these schemes.
I mean what degree of alienation does it require to setup a website that claims to be about an advocacy group for children safety, while it is in fact a fake site for an org funneling lobbying money into passing laws that makes their boss more money. How can they live like this?
And then I remember the Monsanto lobbyists, the Sacklers' enablers, the cigarette people and the oil lawyers. I guess there is just a ton of people who are natural born minions.

Yeah I think that's kind of it.
I'd prefer to believe that it's school/culture/religion making people like that... And those are definitely factors.
However, I personally think that it's probably just more effective, evolutionarily speaking, to not have too many independent thinkers in a tribe.
The 'funny' part is that we call the people who are naturally resistant to following the herd "neurodivergent" - and then try to medicate them into conformity. As if the herd is doing such a great job right now.
