In America, it's been a persistent psyop campaign under the guise of fighting terrorism for the last 20 years. Trading freedom for security. People are more and more conditioned that control and authority in their lives is there to keep them safe. Whether or not they consciously believe it, subconsciously these ideas still permeate our everyday lives and now we just sort of accept it. Governments and powerful people have, and always will, push these boundaries, since it's essentially the quest for power (control). I don't know what the solution is, because more or less I feel everyone is so divided (and in that sense, conquered). There's an undercurrent of distrust (albeit mostly aimed in the wrong directions) but it hasn't really boiled over enough yet. More and more I think this is just an inevitable outcome to where we are as a society. I'm not trying to doom and gloom but it feels like the writing is on the wall. These things have happened before. Seems to be human nature in that we tend to repeat the same mistakes and it looks like we're currently doing that now.
