WIKIPEDIA: Herd behavior is the behavior of individuals in a group acting collectively without centralized direction. Herd behavior occurs in animals in herds, packs, bird flocks, fish schools, and so on, as well as in humans. Voting, demonstrations, riots, general strikes, sporting events, religious gatherings, everyday decision-making, judgement, and opinion-forming, are all forms of human-based herd behavior.
Have you noticed journalists don't ask follow-up questions anymore? Nor are there facts anyone's willing to insist are true. Did 38,000 Americans die building the Panama Canal, as the president and Sen. Ted Cruz said, or was it only around 300 – and why didn't anyone loudly challenge or correct them, considering the degree this "fake news" was off, and all the noise made while spreading it?
It may have to do with the fact there's no penalty, for a certain segment of society, when they state things wrong, even at the expense of the citizenry. It's everyone else misinforming us, even when the government misinforms, because - as George Carlin famously told us - "It's a big club - and you ain't in it."
According to the government, YOU are (probably) MS-13.
, I mention this because FBN's Larry Kudlow comments that "President Trump is gradually winning the culture wars." But, how that's being done goes without comment, because how that's being done is by making certain groups consider their own death - as an option to escape - after losing all hope the concept of "good" ever existed, or anything resembling justice will ever prevail in the U.S..
I mean, when the government behind "Operation Paperclip" says your ethics are questionable, you know you fucked-up.
From what I read, many Americans, and others, are now in trouble for not having the currently-politically-correct opinion about issues we were never educated on. While I, personally, have sat through what seems like hundreds of hours of movies on The Holocaust, I have never sat through a single class in any school that educated me on the creation of Israel, zionism, or why I should support either – though I'm, now, not only expected to, but may get in trouble if I don't.
Instead, I got one (1) movie - made long before I was born - featuring a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, Paul Newman, fighting an almost faceless Arab horde - that hated him just because - NOT just because he was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, American zionist, stealing their land. (According to WIKIPEDIA, Gideon Bachmann, who was present in Palestine in 1947, wrote in Film Quarterly that the film was "dishonest" and propaganda designed to be "the best promotion Israel ever had."). These are blonde-haired, blue-eyed, lies that the American government's never challenged in my lifetime, as they use my tax dollars to, still, kill the Arabs.
Whatever: Sam Harris says to meditate, and focus on my breathing.
