Category: Dark Triad modus operandi
Those who wish to have control of our societies do so in very familiar ways.
- Addiction mongering
- In Buddhism, one path of the 8-fold path is right livelihood or right mode of living. This is not just about our jobs, but about what behaviours we engage in and how they affect others.
- Asset-stripping the US
- The Trump administration is overseeing a massive degradation of government services and loss of intrinsic value. Seem familiar?
- Consumerism is poison to the mind
- We are bombarded with a plethora of ways to occupy our time so that we can be exploited just to keep our economies going.
- Covid psychopaths
- Covid-19 has revealed the people and systems that do not help us, particularly the two types of people who are really sabotaging our collective health.
- Creating suffering
- There are the few who seek to control the wheels of our societies for their own ends. Unfortunately, some of those ends are perpetuating cycles of suffering.
- Exploitation is short-sighted
- In the past, those who relied on exploitation could get away with it because the means for people to find out about it were limited, but no more.
- Fake transphobia
- The latest target for othering by the misanthropists is transsexuals, a group that has been on the fringes of society for a very long time.
- Is the US a failing country?
- The only answer is yes!
- Longtermism
- Many billionaires say that they are concerned about the long-term survival of the human race. No, it's just another con to keep the focus on them.
- Nationalism creates inequality
- Nationalism is the favouring of one's own nation over others, and so necessarily requires denying equitable distribution of resources throughout the world according to need.
- Political suppression and real freedom
- Much of the world is not really free to choose what sort of society they want, despite experimentation with radically different politico-economic systems.
- Psychopaths for Jesus
- Some modern forms of Christianity seem to have no resemblance to its tenets, but are more a political movement supporting neoliberalism and even the destruction of democracy.
- Sanctioned violence is not noble
- All throughout our history, we have had to defend ourselves against those who seek to dominate us or take what we have.
- Seeding fascism
- The alt-right is often seen as distributed and leaderless but that does not mean that they are not fed and nurtured by the few who want to control them.
- The violence is already normalised!
- Many people are fretting over the public response to the assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, and what it means for civil society.
- Trump and politicians are a distraction
- Trump and the circus of conservative politicians around the world are a distraction from the real deep state of selfish billionaires funding organisations to ensure they remain in ultimate power.
