3 Ways the Government Might be Controlling Us

[MelaninDoll]

I may be overreacting and overthinking, and being over dramatic as well, but I can't get off my chest that maybe politics is actually the governments way of controlling us. And here are the 3 ways they might be doing it.

1. Division

Dividing the people into groups like 'liberals' and 'conservatives' keeps the people from agreeing and uniting. Unity is power and they know that, Let's take a look back when all women came together to get the same rights as men and when all blacks came together to end slavery and segregation, they all wanted the same thing, they could all agree, they were united and look what they accomplished. But now were all divided and look where we are.

2. Planned Events

Maybe some events aren't accidents, maybe there set up by the government. maybe they want to change the way people think, perhaps they want the people to want something and they know what that is. Example: The Miami school shooting. The people want to abolish the second amendment which gives citizens the right to bare arms. The second amendment was made so citizens could protect themselves from the government, In-case the government got too much power or something like that. Here's a quote from the famous Adolf Hitler "To conquer a nation, first disarm it's citizens". Look at all that he did.

3. The media

When I say the media I mean television, twitter, snapchat, instagram, hell even GAG! The media is the last and one of the most important steps on how the government may be controlling us. In today's generation the internet is popular, we're all always on our phones or our little devices that seem to suck us almost hypnotize us. The media is how they feed us false information that seem like facts. PROPAGANDA PEOPLE! Y'all say you're woke, but are you really?

P.S I might sound like complete lunatic to you guys, but keep in mind that I'm alone in my house all day long with me, myself, and the internet. This Mytake is coming from an anti-social with depression and anxiety.

Capitalism is an economic system based upon private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit. Characteristics central to capitalism include private property, capital accumulation, wage labor, voluntary exchange, a price system and competitive markets. Unfortunately today corporate houses run behind dollars and forget their Social Responsibility towards the society. Definitely Government is controlling the common Citizens. That's why it's called capitalist economy. It's bitter truth but we have to accept it.

*"This Mytake is coming from an anti-social "*

The idea that introverts are antisocial or don't want the company of others is completely false. They just tend to enjoy social interaction in a different way than extroverts do. You aren't anti social. This Take indicate that you are concerned for society. You are introvert. Don't consider yourself Anti-Social.

Agreed. I feel like it's more than "might be" controlling us too. I think we have literal evidence of it.

Corporations control pretty much everything. At least gov't is elected.
