    It’s by design: divide and conquer

    People are fighting each other instead of the real enemy.

    That’s why elites and (quasi or not) dictatorships are winning.

      I didn’t expect the storyline of Metal Gear Solid 2 to be so fucking accurate. Lol

      from 2001

      Colonel: To begin with, we’re not what you’d call “human.” Over the past 200 years, a consciousness appeared layer by layer at the crucible of the White House. It’s not unlike life started in the oceans four billion years ago. The White House was our primordial soup, a base of evolution. We are formless. We are the very discipline and morality that Americans invoke so often. How can anyone hope to eliminate us? As long as this nation exists, so will we.

      Raiden: Cut the crap! If you’re immortal, why would you take away individual freedoms and censor the Net?

      Rose: Jack, don’t be silly.

      Colonel: Don’t you know that our plans have your interests - not ours - in mind?
