Herd mentality, you and me

Folks, we all like to think that we're not a part of herd mentality. The society we live in stresses individuality. But does that society actually encourage the free thinking they pretend to promote? I think we all know the answer to that question is a resounding H E double hockey sticks (LL) no!

While we hear daily that we should be ourselves, etc, etc,. The powers that control our current society work tirelessly on mass brainwashing for profit. In fact, they have actually found a way to make the appeal of freedom and individuality a selling point for conformity. Ain't capitalism grand?  

Don't believe me? Think you are living in a free country? Than if you are truly free and a free thinker, how did they convince you, for instance, to worship a piece of cloth above respecting people who don't worship the same piece of cloth or reside within different imaginary, man-made borders than you?

Or maybe they convinced you of some other way of thinking. It doesn't really matter what stance you take, if it involves herd mentality. Red or blue pill, they've got your number either way.

What do they get out of it?

Simply put, they get compliance and complacency. Which are, of course, the opposite of the freedom and individuality they say this society stands for. Compliance and complacency, my friends, enable them to sell you the products that line their pockets and empty yours.

They are ripping you off and naming your adherence to their format, “freedom.“ But is it really? Heck no. They are creating the illusion of a free country in order to make you step in time, form a line and do their bidding.

Does that sound like individuality to you? Well, to me, it sounds a lot like dictatorship and frankly, the wrong ship to sail on.

I love my country. I'm just simply not buying what those who truly run things are selling.

Is our government running things? No, they're not. They're puppets, just like the rest of us. Meanwhile, those who jerk our strings and theirs are playing with all our heads for profit and power. The more we play along, the more profit they make and the more powerful they become.

Eventually, our freedom will be dust in the wind. Maybe it already is. Maybe it always has been. After all, when a group of people adopts a common mindset, regardless of what that mindset is, thinking outside of the community box is seen as a betrayal of the community.

Those who are in power love that. It works for them. Because it allows them to manipulate us more easily. New thoughts and ideas for improvement are often rejected because conformity provides an illusion of comfort and security. It makes us feel safe, Even though, in reality, herd mentality is toxic behavior by design.

Personally, I'm at peace with living my life as a true individual and a free thinker. No plans to join any of the many herds out there in brainwash central. I'll be over here doing my own thing when they pass by. How about you?
