Re: Zapping?
Parazapper, while your hopefulness is very generous, it's part of how they are manipulating you. Not you specifically, but society in general.
My belief is if civility, fairness and kindness could have worked, it would have by now. The employees are the abusive, loud ones, and I'm guessing they think it's funny how easy it is to shut up your average posters with just a few snippy comments, cuz folks have become SO afraid of and so well trained to avoid confrontation and all that 'messiness'.
I do agree though, despite the manipulative best efforts of the mainstream media, which this same group of 'elites' also own, people are getting fed up.
But they're still afraid to do it out loud. That's what I doing. Confronting that norm that makes everyone soooo afraid to speak up, especially here where a pack of norm 'enforcer' chihuahuas will jump out of the bushes and attack them.
And I'm realizing they are only chihuahuas, not even close to being wolves (those the 'elites' save for real world business aka the FDA, IRS, etc)--except for those here stealing out of grandma's purse, essentially, shame on them! That's the behavior that justifies shaming---that's what shame is for, to steer people away from crimes against the helpless or otherwise vulnerable.
The 'elites' have subverted it to serve them though, and use it instead now for thought control. If you never say 'no, stop it' and mean it, willing to go the distance, why would it ever stop? Sorry but THEY are never going to let ANY attempt to stop them ever be nice, quiet and neat. Unfortunately.
Think drug lord--or mafia boss--which these elites are. How do you think they'd respond to your pleas of "can't we all just get along nicely?"
My belief is they'd laugh, probably quite vigorously, and the drug lord/crime boss/'elite' billions of billionaire would say "Sure, just do it my way and shut up. Get him outta here." If he didn't say "Get rid of him" instead, of course.
That's who you're dealing with. How do you actually stop thugs and criminals like that? By saying "let's take the moral high ground and do nothing to defend ourselves because it's less messy and proves we're better than them?" What dictator/crime boss wouldn't love that? May as well send them a written invitation. That social manipulation is for exactly that purpose. So we'll basically leave the door wide open while they come in and rob and kill us.
Here, of course it's only the level of the yapping chihuahuas, but the wolves are right behind them, as your run in with the FDA shows. So, no, I think the 'moral' high ground approach just facilitates them abusing us further--really you don't get brownie points in heaven for that. You just get more abused. Just the way they like it.
I suspect a lot of people are starting to see that, but are still too fearful they'll be socially ostracized if they say anything.
