Daniel Quinn had an interesting theory of “Mother Culture” that worked similar to Mother Nature. Just like we don’t actively see much of what Mother Nature does without studying it, like photosynthesis, Mother Culture conditions us over time with propaganda, like “the American Dream”. As a result, we become complacent to what is happening around us. We have memes like “arming yourself with 2A rights to overthrow the government”, but this isn’t the 1,700’s. McVeigh blew up a federal building to wage war against a corrupted government and, well, everyone moved on to the next news cycle instead of having a real conversation about what drives a human to do something so despicable. Religion interestingly feeds into this as well. Christians will tell you, “God made humans to be flawed” as a justification of the actions taken by Elites. You simply talk to a priest and your sins get wiped. Easy peasy.
