23. Thank you Dragonfli

You speak for the silent uncounted and unrepresented (except for a few) people. There are more and more living in cars, trailers and on the street, who have to face floods, fires and extreme temperatures and the real world.

Fear is why people don't face death, poverty or illness until it is upon them. People in the US are kept in a state of puer aeternus--the eternal child, or in a state of juvenile arrested development. When you don't grow up, you don't develop a sense of social responsibility. In this society, people are enabled to be adult children with tons of money, power and weapons--who display no greater wisdom than bullies in a playground, or spoiled kids who don't know how to feed themselves, clean up their own messes or even share their toys or food.

Fear is what drives people not to look directly at death and poverty--because without this money and all the props it buys, that is where REALITY exists.

The occupy movement, Bernie Sanders supporters, progressives and socialist movement are made up of people who have taken the red pill of the actual world and broken out of the illusion matrix this moneyed class has created. Climate change will wake the rest up shortly, it won't be long.
