I believe someone, and I'm not gonna say who I suspect, approached indoctrination, corruption and impoverishment like this: To control the population, first indoctrinate the lowest rungs of the ladder and keep their standards low. Keep the manual working class uneducated, then when social media showed up, they realized they don't even need the schools anymore. Kids soak up reels like coke. Now you don't need to indoctrinate with religion and sorely unintelligent teachers. You get influencers to warp their priorities, lower their time preference, distract and keep their minds quiet at all times.

Once they're malleable, when they'll believe insane shit like men can have babies 😆😂🤣, they can be weaponized against the higher rungs by calling what they've earned an effect of privilege more than effort or contribution. You weaponize, politicize emotion. With a corrupted Congress, Senate, Judiciary, and public outcry (thanks to sm, not even a lot) all things are possible.

Every complicit country will print away their citizens savings, introduce increasingly totalitarian legislation, reduce travel with restrictions and hoops to jump through, keep them just fed and entertained enough to not revolt- a subject rife with history demonstrating where that threshold lies.

Once everyone is oppressed and hypnotized enough that no one is concerned about principles and the foundations of a self sufficient life, morals have died, the money is worthless, only criminals are armed, now all you have to do is scare the bottom rungs.

With all the inevitable chaos, well connected fools at the bottom need only know those in power to make it to the top rungs. An unnatural distribution of the intellectual rungs corrupts distribution of resources, or as we refer to it-the pay scale. Though it seems like this could happen even if the money wasn't corrupted, the two seem to coincide.

Now it's a synch to demoralize and underpay the productive class, and shifting paradigms is as easy as scaring and mobilizing the bottom rungs. Easy to find rioters in people who are too uneducated, unskilled, insensible to be employed.

With all this ease, now we can answer the big problems. Namely, there are way too many of these ignorant motherfuckers. World Overshoot Day comes earlier every year. How do we get them to stop breeding? Maybe get them scared of something like a flu. Then they'll wait in the snow to take the medicine.
