That last sentence has kind of just hit home, for me. I won't elaborate but I resonated massively.

This is not only causing "fucking around", but also has two dangerous outcomes: - people own more, are more comfortable - they are easy to control, just threaten them with taking it away - by not being on the edge, people ignore threats or "agree" to changes easier, EU just announced all social media access will be ID gated - no reaction, like it was something normal. People are literally being stripped of freedom and no one cares

Oh for sure. Domesticated population. Domestication through prosperity or debt fuelled feigned prosperity
