Imagine there was a secret that if you knew it your life would become an unbearable torture. Imagine that to avoid learning this secret you had to erect an iron curtain between you and it. Imagine that by colluding with others you could project illusions upon the screen of your mind and come into alignment with a collective delusion that would inordinately help you avoid facing the secret for ever, as though it never existed in the first place. Now imagine that you could join with others to shut down and destroy whomsoever reveals this secret further securing the likelihood that you’ll never need to live in its uncomfortable presence ever.
Imagine that the secret was discovered by a select group of outsiders that learned of your desperation in avoiding this secret. Imagine that they plotted covertly from behind the iron curtain to keep other secrets from you pertaining to your survival. Imagine that all these secrets exerted an ever greater control over your reality threatening your very existence at every turn.
Then imagine that this is real and the secret is the truth, but that it won’t matter much to you by now because after years of ignoring the truth you have tipped the hand against you and you’ll soon be dead anyway.
Welcome to the real world.
They get off on the violence of fishers of men order takers beating them into submission on the streets.
