I am currently reading The Impact of Science on Society by Bertrand Russell. in the following quote he is talking about what he calls the `war mentality`…
It is difficult for a man of ardent political convictions to admit either the shortcomings of politicians of his own Party of the merits of those the opposite Party. And so it comes about that, whenever an organization has a combatant purpose, its members are reluctant to criticize their officials, and tend to acquiesce in usurpations and arbitrary exercises of power which, but for the war mentality, they would bitterly resent. It is the war mentality that gives officials and governments their opportunity. -Bertrand Russell
What he is talking about how governments use tribalism to conquer people. Like in sports you have your local team that you are behind. Take the Razorbacks for instance, as long as I can remember they pretty much suck at football. If you were at a game and got tired of watching them loose would you instead start cheering on the other team? Probably not out of fear of rejection of the people around you. This is the same for our two system political party — most people have the same party affiliations as their parents. You are raised with the frame work that said political party is supposed to uphold (even though they hardly do). So even if the party is not upholding its own principles people will still call themselves one party or the other because they still believe in the frame work the party was originally built on deciding to ignore or play down things their party does.
Further galvanizing the left right paradigm is the right wing radio, and the liberal owned TV media. When your team is out of power your cheerleaders attack the team that is in power pointing out all the things they do wrong. When your team is in power the cheerleaders begin to overlook the lies and the bad things the politicians do. This keeps you locked into the left/right paradigm. What people need to realize if you want to get somewhat accurate news is to listen to the right wing while the left is in power, and watch the liberal media when the right is in power (and use your brain to filter out all the BS that they throw in).
Bertrand Russell is one of the main philosophers of the New World Order and a term that he uses often `the Scientific Dictatorship`. This is one of the guys that designed the system we are living in today back in the 1940s — a global elitist that thinks you are a dog that’s only purpose in life is to work and serve the top 20 or so families in the world. Everyone just needs to realize that their football team stinks and is really selling you down the river into a one world government — so the question is how long are you going to sit and watch your team suck before you find one that is not taking your freedoms, listening to your phone calls, taking naked pictures of you at airports, and on and on and on….
