We live in a country where the govt dumbs its own citizens. We dedicate our lives to make money so we can have a place to live and food to eat. We don't have much say on the food we consume or the bills we must pay. We run our life's based on principles and laws held over our head so if u want to go against the conformed society, one is deemed unethical or crazy. The jobs that we work at everyday until we are late into our lives usually have little reflection or impact on our immediate community. Citizens are not looked at as individuals, more of like a mass. We live in a reality so far fetched and distant to what our species originated from. We fill our lives with irrelevant garbage such as social media, TV, organized sports, politics, etc... these things keep our minds numb. We find ourselves more concerned about celebrity actions rather than world news and tragedy. 90% of everything we do is fake. We complain about the wrong things ie gas prices, but we never ask the question to why we are still raping our land of fossil fuels for transportation. And don't say we don't have the technology - fuck look how far computers have came. While we waste our short lives on mindless bullshit, our govt controls the world. We spy on every country, we use remote control planes to kill hundreds of innocent families, lie to its own citizens to trick them into war, find corrupt and cruel ways to keep currency as international.
If our people opened there eyes to the reality, we would look very much like Ukraine right now. But no, life is too sweet for that... much rather turn our heads in bliss and keep living our lives picture perfect... its just easier I guess
