My husband recently observed to me how important conditioning is for people to accept things as normal.
He said that when he first began reading my articles, he was like āOkay but I mean, fiat currency censorship isnāt really *that bad* as you describeā. But then in the years that followed, he was like āoh shit, it actually is. The fact that we have to ask permission to access significant amounts of our own money at banks and say what we will do with it is fucking insane. Why is this normal now?ā
In Europe especially but also elsewhere, itās increasingly common to make cash transactions illegal above a certain threshold value. Above that value, you have to go through centralized, surveilled, corporate/government systems, or youāre doing an illegal transaction.
That seems absolutely insane if introduced out of nowhere, but instead it has been introduced gradually through conditioning and so people are like, āwell I donāt use cash anyway so thatās okay I guess, in fact I donāt even know thatās a law nowā.
The same is generally true for social media. Filtering communications through centralized pipes is actually a radical position but itās increasingly the new normal. In fact, the centralization of banking and communications in the hands of the state were two of their ten steps proposed in the Communist Manifesto.
