The majority of the American population is struggling too hard day to day to pay the bills, heat the house, and put food on the table to get involved in any "movements".
It would something drastic that affects a lot of people to bring about any kind of mass protests!!

Our food being geo engineered is another example of things that is going on that people do not like.
When enough folks get angry with the things we use everyday being comprimised or modified it leads to a mass protest.
I had a severe allergic reaction to the "trisoduim phosphate" that they are putting in Cheerios, Trix & other childrens cereals.

I cordially suggest that that is merely a "meme" ... merely a convenient stereotype by which "the media" encourages people to characterize, ummm, the 316,148,990 human beings who (according to the trusty US Population Clock ...) occupy [just ...] this nation at this particular moment in time.

"Okay, game over, we win, it's useless to resist, game over, you're wallowing in your miserable little life and under surveillance 100% of the time and that's just the way it is ..." or I prefer this.

Truly, to me, the most pathetic thing about the present day "media" is that they don't even bother to do their business of propaganda decently. They seem to be so accustomed to being able to tell people to just roll over and play dead, that all is lost and so-on, that they actually seem to have snorted their own (cheap) kool-aide. They seem to honestly expect that people believe them. That millions of people were "born yesterday," and that anyone who actually dares to do anything "must be some kind of lib'rel radical." (Thus invoking two stereotypes in one sentence and feeling exonerated by having done so.)

Societies often turn out to closely resemble "clouds of fish." They're going this way and that, seemingly without purpose or reason, "surely, sitting ducks," and then ... boom! ... in a sudden flash, they form a school that suddenly manifests the ability to out-smart a school of sharks.

As an aside, some clever young journalist at Pravda (the Russian news apparatchik) published a piece to the effect of, "Propaganda: my daddy did it better." Can't lay my hands on it now but it was a great fun to read ... and quite poignant. Basically, one key idea which (s)he put forth was that, "we Russians knew that it was State-run propaganda..." Good points.

I would not go so far as advocating not using an Android phone, when the primary alternatives are iJunk and Windows, but don't use the Gmail. Don't use Google search, use Startpage. Don't use Google docs. Don't use G+. Don't use Google Drive. Just don't. Minimize using Google as much as possible.

They likely know everything about you already, but you don't have to help.
I doubt google is the only one doing things like this
MY question is where are the phone tapping laws in this ?
WHO GAVE GOOGLE (or anybody else ) THE RIGHT TO TAP YOUR PHONE ?
who ever it was needs to be taken out of power !

I think it happened before the '70s but sadly most countries nowadays suffer from the same problems.

when I was in suba class the buddy system was explained this way "if a shark comes along there's a 50/50 chance that the shark will eat your buddy and not you"

Well, things like fiat currency did start then so perhaps that was when it happened. Your post count, as I reply to this, is 777, by the way, which I think is cool.

That system never existed. It is a piece of utopian propaganda.

fiat currency was and still is a scam it's a tax paid to the banks in the form of inflation
it bites at the heals of the rich ( the only exceptions are bankers ) more than working people
only the riskiest investments can keep up with inflation for working people most of the time wages
fallow inflation

the unions and the democratic party had each others backs covered unions got the democrats votes and money in return the democrats fought to protect workers and unions that deal was crushed when the AFL/CIO endorsed Nixon the democrats started to court the same big money as the republicans
big money wanted cheap powerless labor force the republicans were already working on delivering
for the rest of the 70s the democrats slowly changed sides by the mid 80S we had the republican party
and the republican-lite party formerly known as the democratic party elections in the U.S.A. are a scam as there is only one political party the republican party

that post count will stay the same until I leave this sub forum and post something useful
