It's like we're in a reverse 12 monkeys here, with the world destroyed but because no one released a deadly virus which didn't kill anyone and that no one can catch.
and the sane ones who watch this unfolding with mouths agog are seen as dangerous by those who don't realise they have had their minds snatched by constant psychological warfare.
the rulers have been controlling what people think and how they behave for a very long time, but since the introduction of mass media radiowaves and telescreen this has ramped up to bond-villain levels of deception and control.
humans are easily controllable. once you realise this includes you, the veil might start to lift. trust in authority, hubris, or other emotional/ psychological need keeps people firmly inside the program, unable to break the conditioning, or the spell.
if there was a way you could snap your fingers to immediately show someone the world we see it's all i'd do, all day every day, but us 'dangerous' ones know that the only one who can do it for you is yourself.
