Tornado Alley (PROG)

[12yearplan]

Through divide and conquer. Keep the masses fighting with each other.

Forget the conspiracy idea - follow the money. Deregulation is a good word but needs to be thought of more in the big picture of a culture.

Every culture has its view of sin. It’s an old-fashioned word, but it [refers to that which] is, ultimately, profane and cannot be permitted, must not be allowed. Understanding those things that underwrite politics helps us understand why this persists the way it does, why it inflames the passions that we see.

Full disclosure, I feel this "theft" so clearly outlined in the "some article" you noted is not only the root of the so many problems but where warring peoples can find unity and solutions. Take back and honor the "sacred" that can be a unifying salve for the wounds or grievances people are fighting about - the (trivial) other things like what feeds this board.

“We subtly slip into thinking of the controversies debated as political rather than cultural in nature. On political matters, one can compromise; on matters of ultimate moral truth, one cannot. This is why the full range of issues today seems interminable.”
