Reply #26: I don't worry about the hate speech too much. It's a method they use [View All]

to keep people from noticing the real abuse they're getting from those in power. If you can keep the "little people" fighting amongst themselves, you don't have to worry about them coming after you. This kind of social control has probably been at work in some form since the time of the pharaohs.

I really think we need to try and make people understand how their strings get pulled, though, and put a stop to the nonsense. When the regular folks stop blaming/hating/fearing each other they'll start to look up at those who gain wealth and power on their backs, and gleefully spill their children's blood to further enrich themselves. It's some kind of obscene gluttony they suffer from - I mean, just how much money and power do you need?

It could get really scary if people really realized how little value they have to these monsters, IMO.

BTW, no one that I know of is offended by the term Rom. It's acceptable. If the words "criminal" and/or "life unworthy of life" are not used in the description of us, we're generally pretty happy AFAIK. ;)
