AUTHORITARIAN FOLLOWERS

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS US

We see madmen and women strutting their control and power. We witness governments totally committed to their own ends with not a care for those they allegedly represent. We see people in places of so called power wielding like a psychopath. One could definitely say that most of these people are sociopths and psychopaths in varying degrees. The few who hold and demonstrate empathy for thise working with and under them are the exception, not the rule.

Yet beyond these obviously very sicj human beings there are a multitude of people, ordinary people who happily go along with, support and cheer lead those weilding their unedifying and let us face it, illegal power. We'll deal with the illegality in another section. These people are made up of those either willfully ignorant, utterly ignorant or just happy to follow the crowd (parocially called sheeple). When under the control of those in power we can see through historical reference, that they will do pretty much anything to please their masters. All the time believing they are living free and unhindered lives. The reality is they are the worst example of slaves to a system and as we have experienced recently, perfectly willing to 'shop' their neighbours who refrain from complying with whatever illegal mandate is spread.
