O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

... if anyone deluded themselves into thinking that we live in a democracy, this is further evidence that, for decades, we live in a dictatorship with a hard core/handful of power struck idiots aided and abetted by a multitued of self-serving controllers at all levels who will never give up
the power of their own little empires. It's the UK version of communism - absolute control; and we can do f-all about it.
Our tin pot 'government' plays about with eveyone else's money; it's peanuts compared to what goes on on the world stage. With covid control fading, the current stick is the climate change nonsense ... trying to frighten everyone into moving in a their desired direction..........

IMHO there is a strata of society, Government and religions whose unspoken aim is to keep the masses subdued so that they can maintain their elevated status. Religion, alcohol and nowadays anything that gives us all a quick dopamine hit like on-line shopping, smart phones or watching Love Island, Strictly, Big Brother will keep us from questioning our masters too closely.

The recent riots showed (and I'm misusing a phrase from somewhere else here) civilization is a mile wide and an inch thick. I bet the authorities were glad when the footy season started and it's coming towards the end of the year. Riots never happen in winter really do they?

It's my conspiracy theory and I'm going to stick to it! LOL.

Plato's noble lie anyone?

Edit: Someone has noticed the addiction theory, but hasn't made the elite controlling of the masses connection, ha, ha:
