July 2021: I am old enough (69) to have experienced how authorities have quietly seduced the majority of the population (read: wage slaves) into ever greater trust. Like another parasite, politicians have inserted themselves between the people and the real rulers and pretended to be the real rulers/authorities - the ones who decided it all (i.e. distributed the taxpayers' payments).
Through the so-called democratic 'People's Assembly elections', the people have been seduced into believing that they are 'electing' representatives who will look after the interests of the population, even though the Constitution says something completely different (Monarchy and Section 56, for example). The politicians have played enough of a show with increasing welfare and security that the population is led to be grateful to the STATE. The people experience 'them and us'. Since 1960, the people have received more and more 'evidence' that the State/government/authorities 'provide for' the population in various ways. Parents have passed this belief on to their children.
Most people probably have a mental-psychic protective measure in their minds, developed through the above-mentioned many years of trust in the authorities. The idea that is probably the most difficult for most people to confront, let alone take into their minds, is the idea that the previously so kind authorities, who provide for the payment of transfer income, free hospital care and other welfare benefits, are now suddenly abusing this trust AGAINST the population in an attempt to maintain the population in an even greater oppressive dependency.
Seen over a period of more than 50 years, this is CHILDREN'S LURE TACTICS. The abuser slowly but surely builds trust in the victim, and when the victim is sufficiently dependent on the abuser (transfer income, employment in the 'public sector', etc.), then the abuser strikes!
From other psychological social experiments we know that many victims - in order to survive psychologically and mentally - choose to identify with the abuser/oppressor to such an extent that they defend not only the abuses, but also the abusers' ideology/propaganda, etc. There are parallels here to the so-called Stockholm syndrome, where victims who were held captive by bank robbers for several days defended the bank robbers after their release. They had adopted the bank robbers' attitudes/arguments so much that they could mentally survive and endure the captivity.
Therefore, most people have built up the above-mentioned mental-psychic protective measure in their minds, which protects them from confronting this reality; an insight that is so world-threatening that most people choose to obey blindly, also to avoid being shamed by the majority, not to mention the fear of losing their transfer income.
