James Corbett put it nicely on a clip I was watching the other day:
(paraphrasing)
He said in ancient times, those who wished/attempted to rule over others would convince them that they were Gods (Egyptian Pharaohs, etc). Actual living gods. Then when the people started to question that and stop believing it, they had to switch their tune. So instead of saying they were themselves actual gods, now they just said that they were 'CHOSEN by God', - Divine Right to Rule (Kings/Queens/Emperors etc).
Then when the people started to question that and not believe it anymore, those wanting/attempting to rule over others had to switch their pitch again, this time taking one step down but still somewhere between man and god in religious hierarchies.
Now recently, with people becoming less and less religious and not believing in that... in fact tired of all these concepts of rulers, dictators, etc... they had to flip the propaganda again. So now they pitch it to us as if the power is in OUR hands... we get to CHOOSE who rules over us, and if we don't like it we can change for a different person to rule over us. yet all we are changing is the name and the face of the person representing those who rule over us, and that never changes.
I wonder what they will have to switch to when people start to not believe that anymore? lol I honestly can't imagine
WAR James Corbett
