Hey my friend .. you don't know how many times I've attempted to answer this but I think steemit has been messing around all bloody day! I agree and it's a crazy situation isn't it? Men have fought and died in wars since the dawn of humanity and they have often fought for freedom and the promise of a better world, and here in 2018 we appear to be on the verge of exchanging said freedom for the promise of faster download speeds, you couldn't make it up!
It's scary how unaware and manipulated people have become, I think we have been led into a situation where life has become so fast paced that people have literally handed their ability to think and question to both the media and a neverending stream of experts. Indeed there are a literal army of people that are paid vast sums of money to define our perceptual reality. People really need to get off their backsides and start questioning the world that's being built around them for I really don't believe it's an organically growing construct. It is both planned and manipulated and I believe we're being walked into a blind alley. Thanks again @tremendospercy
