Occupy Your Mind-Ep.41: Joyce Appleby's Relentless Revolution Describes How Scarcity Leads to Authoritarianism

Occupy Your Mind! Think for yourself. Your voice matters.Think.Speak.Stay human.Show us your smile.

Joyce Appleby's book details the history of capitalism. In it, Appleby writes of the historic resistance to change that was largely caused by fear. In the past, people feared famine as nature was unpredictable. This fear and instability caused people to rely on strong authority figures (alpha males!) for protection and safety. Do today's world leaders know this fact of human history, that fear makes people complacent and obedient?

Social distancing makes people feel alone and isolated, and therefore, more prone to fear and looking to the authorities for protection.

Crimson Contagion and Event 201 were two preparations world leaders engaged in before this "new" coronavirus in efforts to prepare for a pandemic. Were there more events besides these two? We don't know. But the question is this: why did they tell us they were unprepared for Covid-19 when they have had at least two preparatory events during which they planned for a pandemic?

Covid-19 sure did show up at a convenient time, didn't it? Protests against economic inequality around the world, and now we're told that in order to make the world a better place, we should not protest but stay home instead, avoiding other people. Socially distanced from others, it is easy for us to forget that there are people around the world who are struggling and suffering right now--not from Covid-19! They are suffering as a result of lockdowns, quarantines, curfews and social distancing measures that are causing people to enter states of despair.

Meanwhile, former Bernie Sanders supporters, who we thought were so radical, so focused on changing the world, remain unconcerned about the deaths due to despair, due to lockdowns and restrictions, due to social isolation. Many of them were affluent to begin with and were not true to their ideals. They are fixated on hating Donald Trump, unable to see--or perhaps refusing to see--that there is a worldwide power grab going on right now.

This power grab centers around the pharmaceutical industry and technology industry. "Liberals" used to know the dangers of big money infiltrating our political, educational, media and medical institutions, but suddenly they've forgotten this. They've become the kinds of people they say they hate. They've become bigots, unable to listen to opposing views, unconcerned about social injustice unless it fits their narrative, and prejudiced against those who think differently.

For now, it looks like the powers that be have what they want. They've convinced the radicals, the protestors, to conform and embrace the status quo. But this won't last. More and more people are waking up to what is going on. Their plan will backfire, eventually. Question is, how long will it take?
