I'll probably need to listen to this several more times to fully take in all that's being said.And while I don't disagree with much of the analysis offered, there is a foundational error in some of that analysis rooted in the last 100 or so years of propaganda. For instance, it's that Bernay's style of propaganda that not only gave us "freedom torches," but the false ideal of commercialized "freedom" sold as "The American Dream" as defined by wealth, fame, leisure, & prestige. This is a perversion of the ideals of "freedom" that originally established American thought which absolutely encompassed embracing work, maturity, & responsibility... happiness as a "pursuit" rather than an entitlement. "Freedom" was more of a concept in minding your own business, not being in debt to banks or neighbors, owning and working your own land to be King of your own Castle... even if that "castle" is a one room shack on one acre of land. The size of the castle and land didn't matter. What mattered was to be "free" of debt. Freedom wasn't devoid of work, pressure, & responsibility; it was to embrace personal empowerment. This fundamental understanding has been perverted and corrupted by greedy profiteers who's religion is very narcissistic & who've declared war on the world with prophecies of a "King of Kings"... a fatherly tyrant that promises his "chosen" children a paradise life of leisure. They are instructed to war via "toss them into great confusion" methods aka psychological warfare. It's no coincidence names like Freud, Bernays, & Einstein are sourced in this book as being fundamental to modern perspectives. Who runs the data-collecting FaceBook? Zuckerberg? Who, for years, ran RUclips? Wojcicki? These are not "Americans" or "Europeans" as the author describes when the greatest commandment in Deuteronomy 6 is to not assimilate with the false idols (nations) they are commanded to war with in Deuteronomy 7.
Very good material.
