>Everybody just doesn't mention the simple fact we exist and are aware of it, that reality is right before us, and nobody seems to emphasize the incredible importance of this seemingly simple thing
>The domestic spying, facking, floridization, climate change, illuminatti, deep state, big business in Government, unnecessary wars, unnecessary laws, all those issues are psyoped away by a mixture of controlled news, hypnotizing advertisements, and an internet which uses targeted media tailored for individuals using algorithms based off NSA collected data
How did it get to this? What do we do?

Also know tons of people that are now working in foreign services. There are jobs out there you just have to look for them.
