Independent Thinking

in #blog3 years ago (edited)

How did we get here?
When did we stop asking questions?
What will it take to return to normal?
Why do we need a "new normal"?
Why do dissenting opinions immediately get censored?

We need to return to a society where civilians are independent thinkers.

The below is not my personal content, but it is hard to defy the logic that this man puts into music:

Tom MacDonald - Brainwashed
(lyrics below, after listening many many times.. it's just too good not to share)



Half the country fell asleep but they scream woke
We're distracted by vaccines and TV shows, politics, celebrity, gossip, popular neat quotes
Black lives, white lives, which lives mean most?
We only dedicate one day to remember our fallen soldiers - the men and women who died young
But if you come out the closet as Caitlyn Jenner you're a hero and you get a whole pride month
The most dangerous pandemic is propaganda from these clowns - only mask that's gonna save us is duct tape on they mouths
Don't speak
We don't need to defund police - need to defund the media who lies through they teeth
Like- big pharma doesn't cure you dog- 'cause every patient that gets cured is a customer lost
And big oil runs the world, the only wars that get fought are with the countries who have natural resources they want

Heard 'em claiming if a white man braids his hair and likes rap, he's appropriating culture
But if a white man acts too white, he's white trash - he's a racist, he's a bigot, he's a monster

Let's just have the conversation
Not every liberal is dumb, not all Republicans are racist
The government wants everybody fighting with their neighbors
'Cause they know that if we get along, we'll probably go against 'em

They can't stop us
'Cause we're ready to fight
Try to brainwash us
But we won't let freedom die
The whole World's brainwashed
Everybody pick a team, start a riot in the streets
The whole world's brainwashed
It's us against them, it ain't you against me

How did monkeys become people and people turned into sheep?
They put fluoride in the water that's keeping us all asleep
Claim they want what's best for us, I find that hard to believe
'Cause they been selling us cigarettes since we was eighteen
Fake news, fake woke, distract, and divide
You're either right or you're left or you're black or you're white
Big tech don't need a microchip to hack in your life
'Cause the phone inside your pocket is a tracking device
And I don't know what I'm more sick of, rappers or Joe Biden looking like he ate a hundred Xanax for dinner
'Cause censoring the president and kicking him off Twitter is a bigger threat to freedom than foreign ballistic missiles
You don't trust the police or the government but you want people giving up their right to own a firearm
Why would you be comfortable if police and the government the only people on the planet with the right to buy a gun?
White privilege getting amplified to reinforce division
It convinces white people that they're favored by their skin
And black people getting angry 'cause they're told they're treated different
So the conflict is between us and never with the system

Let's just have the conversation
Not every liberal is dumb, not all Republicans are racist
The government wants everybody fighting with their neighbors
'Cause they know that if we get along, we'll probably go against 'em

They can't stop us
'Cause we're ready to fight
Try to brainwash us
But we won't let freedom die
The whole World's brainwashed
Everybody pick a team, start a riot in the streets
The whole World's brainwashed
It's us against them, it ain't you against me

Step one - train the people only to consume
Step two - infiltrate adults with the news
Step three - indoctrinate the children through the schools and the music and the apps on the phones that they use
Step four - separate the right from the left
Step five - separate the white from the black
Step six - separate the rich from the poor, use religion and equality to separate 'em more
Step seven - fabricate a problem made of lies
Step eight - put it on the news every night
Step nine - when people start to fight and divide, take control, this is called situational design

They can't stop us
'Cause we're ready to fight
Try to brainwash us
But we won't let freedom die
The whole World's brainwashed
Everybody pick a team, start a riot in the streets
The whole World's brainwashed
It's us against them, it ain't you against me
