We’ve Been Had

 

We’ve been had. All of us. Woke assholes and conservative assholes alike, and we’re a lot more alike than you think. And that goes for both of you. Us. Both of us.

It’s called Divide et impera, Divide and rule. It goes back as far as Rome, though I suspect it goes back a lot further than that. Most empires are smart enough not to say the quiet bit out loud. Just get back to hating each other, peasants!

It is coming out due to the DOGE steam cleaner that some of the shadowy organizations funded by USAID were giving money to both sides in conflicts that they, themselves, created.

Remember 2020? Riots, er. Mostly peaceful riots were breaking out all over? Until November when they stopped as if someone flipped a switch? Ya. As if. George Soros got what he wanted so… “You can stop rioting now, peasants. But don’t stop hating each other,” the message came.

There is a task group in the CIA headquarters in Langley. It is dedicated to coming up with insane things to make people suspicious of, and hostile to, each other. (Hint: That would be us. You and me.) Then they feed them through their propaganda arm: MSNBC, Late night TV, WSJ, the Mighty Wurlitzer™-The usual suspects.

Team Leader: “It’s time to make up some more shit to feed to the masses.”
Team Member: “Haven’t we turned over enough shit?”
TL: “Nah. There’s always room for more Jello.”
TM: “Let’s see… We did the Kennedy Assassination… Project 2025… Pigs in Space... What else is there?”
TL: “That’s what we’re here for. Start propagandizing!”
TM: “OK. Who are we propagandizing today, liberals or conservatives?”
TL: “What day is it?”
TM: “Thursday.”
TL: “Then, liberals.”
TM: “Sweet.”

And we all eat it up. 

But what would we do if we stopped hating each other? What’s left to give our lives meaning? Anything?
