Why do people accept everything from the government.
The entire nation knows that the NSA is spying on us. But everyone just shrugged it off like it was nothing. Then that judge said it was unconstitutional, but that hardly even onto on the news. Its like people don't even care that the government is violating the constitution. Around the country peoples rights are being stripped from them and NOBODY CARES. There just going along with it. NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING. Why is everyone so blind.

Don't forget the "Well, they can spy on me. I'm not doing anything wrong." crowd.

What will be considered "wrong" in the near future?

Re: Why do people accept everything from the government.
The primary reason why the individual citizens of a country create a political structure is a subconscious wish or desire to perpetuate their own dependency relationship of childhood. Simply put, they want a human god to eliminate all risk from their life, pat them on the head, kiss their bruises, put a chicken on every dinner table, clothe their bodies, tuck them into bed at night, and tell them that everything will be alright when they wake up in the morning.

This public demand is incredible, so the human god, the politician, meets incredibility with incredibility by promising the world and delivering nothing. So who is the bigger liar? the public? or the "godfather"?

This public behavior is surrender born of fear, laziness, and expediency. It is the basis of the welfare state as a strategic weapon, useful against a disgusting public.

Re: Why do people accept everything from the government.
Whoa, I thought my thread was dead at birth, then this. But seriously, we Americans are so ignorant. I think that somewhere in the past we got the idea that our government could do no wrong. And now we refuse to give up that idea. I over heard somebody talking that other day. They said,"why would I bother prepping, the government will come take care of me." No joke.

Re: Why do people accept everything from the government.
Everybody has their own shit to worry about, like not winding up living under the overpass. Everyone knows the two are connected but there is only so much a person a paycheck away from living under the overpass can do.

They are afraid that if they do anything to rock the boat they will wind up under the overpass. It is a fact that whenever anything gets done it is the rare 1 or 2% of go-getters that do it. Those not afraid to take the risk and do what is necessary.

If you are relying on the 98% your hope has been badly misplaced. If you're a go-getter, get off your ass and get going. If not don't complain about everyone else.

People don't Americans do, other people are standing up to their government. Look around the world, only Americans are to stupid to come together for a cause they'd rather fight each other over dumb shit like skin color and religion. If the president call a press conference and said I'm proud to be black and muslim watch how fast the government get shut down, but if he said I'm spying on you the people have not rights do something about it. No one would say shit.

Re: Why do people accept everything from the government.
Most Americans are living okay - that is to say, they're getting by. Lifes tough, but for most of us at the end of the day, we have a roof over our head and some food in our belly. Why stir shit up? Revolutions are bloody, and the government has waaaay more guns.

I think the line of thinking we need to push is this:

Two years ago, you were a crazy conspiracy theorist if you said "Big Brother is watching you" etc etc. Now this is a reality.

Today the public still accepts the official 9/11 story - or rather, fairy tale. We need to show everyone just how awful, deceitful, and evil the government really is.

How? That's the tough part.

I think we need to hit the streets and be talking to people. Remain rational. Don't talk about other likely cover ups or else you will be quickly dismissed as crazy. Focus on 9/11. 9/11 was a big false flag - thus quite sloppy and easy to (dis)prove.

Don't talk about why the government did it, because that can quickly be dismissed as speculation. We need to talk about the science PROVING that the official story is bull shit. THEN people will see why this cannot continue.



But yet, I fear that until the government comes knocking on their door, people will be too lazy to do anything. And then, it will be too late.

Why do people accept everything from the government. ???

because they accept everything else from the govt...

free food
free subsidized housing
free phones
free internet
free healthcare (speaking of the barbaric hordes)


AND because 'people' don't feel any real pain from the result of the spying, the rights being stripped, etc...

no pain, no reaction. Get it?

the frog is in the pot...about to die...and it will never jump out.

this is why tptb have worked so hard to dumb down the frogs so they'll stay in the pot.

get it?

This is true.

Just to add to what you and others are saying, I think that for whatever reasons, societal programming, propaganda or just hard wired into humanity most people really want to be led, controlled and told what to do and think.

They will fight and even kill to keep their chains.

Just look at the Snowden haters or bammy/shrub et al supporters.
