You can blame whoever you want, but the real blame comes down to one simple thing.
Religion.
The true cancer of society. The ultimate grift and control. The ultimate lie that turned millions into monsters. I hope that when soceity resets itself that all religion is abolished or at least a real law that restricts all religions from public services. Apparently, the separation of church and state is a smoke screen in today's society.
Hear, hear. Give me myth. Give me legend. Leave your theology at the door, though. I love me an ancient tale.
To be fair, though, popular myths are what led us here.
Ancient Aliens is the perfect gateway to anti-science, which gave us figures like RFK Jr who now has the power to fuck all the progress we’ve made in the hundreds of years since vaccines.
Creationism is now being taught in public schools, which undermines centuries of science. Public science is being dismantled, all for their rapture fantasies.
They’re not hiding climate science because they disagree, but because they think it’s a sign of the apocalypse and a good thing, so they don’t want people to fight it.
They’ve said this out loud, many times. It’s all on video. Again, Pikachu face.
Could you link one of those videos, or some names or something so I can find them myself?
Anything from the Discovery Institute or the stuff aimed at kids by PragerU is usually a good start. Materials by Creation Ministries or any of the christian textbook companies is good, too.
I don’t have specific video links, but like I said, it doesn’t matter much. If you search for ‘christian curriculum’ or ‘christian textbook’ you’ll see many various examples.
Too much drama for something natural for humans, that humans evolve anew when it's taken from them.
You can't live without religion, you'll just invent a new one.
Kinda how Christianity took over Mediterranean when the plethora of old cults turned into something like attractions in a park, and for mystery religions it was just another mystery religion, but easier to access.
Or how Soviet ideology was quite similar to a religion (the magical part was concentrated in the "dialectical materialism" and "scientific communism" things), and when people stopped believing into that, hundreds of sects and superstitious beliefs start popping like mushrooms after a rain.
