Comment on Does the average person have no critical thinking?
TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 3 weeks agoThose are like the most superficial layer of propaganda. The real danger of propaganda is that it doesn’t look like it, it looks like other regular people making you support their interests without you realizing it.
Do you like engines? Do you dislike electric vehicles? Do you like guns? If so, when and where did those ideas come from? You weren’t born with them.

The real propaganda is money.
Like, whoever designed the idea of rent (which is basically a safe place to perform the biological function of sleep and store your stuff).
You don’t own a damn thing anymore, nor do I. But for real, whoever invented the concept of rent, invented the concept of taxing humans for the right to sleep in a safe space.

The house around me, and the dirt under it, yes.

Do you pay property taxes?
You don’t own it.

You can debate that in court. But if you steal a bucket of my dirt, the police will come, take it from you, and give it back to me. I’d call that ownership.

I am against the concept of individuals or legal entities owning property, it belong to everyone. However, if you take something from the society in order to be allowed to used it exclusively for a while, you ought to give something back, that is what tax is for.
