Why does every single children's show have violence?

I ask my kids that all of the time. I tell them why: they are being socially conditioned for war and to take sides based on flashy costumes and visual tricks.

They get to watch television but unfortunately, they have to listen to Grumpy Dad's live running commentary throughout the show. It is more educational that way. They hear it when they watch bullshit "science" documentaries and I point out illuminati symbolism to them for shits and giggles too.

How the World Really Works – And Why We Have Wars

- The luckiest, fittest, smartest, with the capability for ruthlessness survive – always have – always will

- Resources are finite and therefore ownership is a zero sum game

- The strong always take from the weak – if they do not then that is a sign of weakness and a competitor will take from the weak and will usurp the formerly strong dropping them into weakling status

- Humans tend to group by clan or on a broader basis by nationality (strength in numbers bonded by culture) and they compete with others for resources

- Competition has always existed (I want it all!) but it becomes fiercer when resources are not sufficient to support competing clans or nations

- Tribal societies understand these dynamics because they cannot go to the grocery store for their food – so they are intimately aware of the daily battle to feed themselves and the competition for scare land and resources

- Modern affluent societies do not recognize this dynamic because for them resources are not scarce – they have more than enough.

- One of the main reasons that resources are not scarce in affluent societies is because they won the battle of the fittest (I would argue that luck is the precursor to all other advantages – affluent societies did not get that way because they started out smarter --- rather they were lucky – and they parlayed that luck into advances in technology… including better war machines)

- As we have observed throughout history the strong always trample the weak. Always. History has always been a battle to take more in the zero sum game. The goal is to take all if possible (if you end up in the gutter eating grass the response has been – better you than me – because I know you’d do the same to me)

- And history demonstrates that the weak – given the opportunity – would turn the tables on the strong in a heartbeat. If they could they would beat the strong into submission and leave them bleeding in the streets and starving. As we see empire after empire after empire gets overthrown and a new power takes over. Was the US happy to share with Russia and vice versa? What about France and England? Nope. They wanted it all.

- Many of us (including me) in the cushy western world appear not to understand what a villager in Somalia does – that our cushy lives are only possible because our leaders have recognized that the world is not a fair place --- Koombaya Syndrome has no place in this world --- Koombaya will get you a bullet in the back --- or a one way trip to the slum.

- Religious movements have attempted to change the course of human nature --- telling us to share and get along --- they have failed 100% - as expected. By rights we should be living in communes --- Jesus was a communist was he not? We all know that this would never work. Because we want more. We want it all.

- But in spite of our hypocrisy, we still have this mythical belief that mankind is capable of good – that we make mistakes along the way (a few genocides here, a few there... in order to steal the resources of an entire content so we can live the lives we live) --- ultimately we believe we are flawed but decent. We are not. Absolutely not.

- But our leaders --- who see through this matrix of bullshit --- realize that our cushy lives are based on us getting as much of the zero sum game as possible. That if they gave in to this wishy washy Koombaya BS we would all be living like Somalians.

- Of course they cannot tell us what I am explaining here --- that we must act ruthlessly because if we don’t someone else will --- and that will be the end of our cushy lives. Because we are ‘moral’ --- we believe we are decent – that if we could all get along and share and sing Koombaya the world would be wonderful. We do not accept their evil premises.

- So they must lie to us. They must use propaganda to get us onside when they commit their acts of ruthlessness.

- They cannot say: we are going to invade Iraq to ensure their oil is available so as to keep BAU operating (BAU which is our platform for global domination). The masses would rise against that making things difficult for the PTB who are only trying their best to ensure the hypocrites have their cushy lives and 3 buck gas (and of course so that the PTB continue to be able to afford their caviar and champagne) …. Because they know if the hypocrites had to pay more or took at lifestyle hit – they’d be seriously pissed off (and nobody wants to be a Somalian)

- Which raises the question --- are we fools for attacking the PTB when they attempt to throw out Putin and put in a stooge who will be willing to screw the Russian people so that we can continue to live large? When we know full well that Putin would do the same to us --- and if not him someone more ruthless would come along and we’d be Somalians.

- Should we be protesting and making it more difficult for our leaders to make sure we get to continue to lead our cushy lives? Or should we be following the example of the Spartans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZeYVIWz99I

- In a nutshell are our interests as part of the western culture not completely in line with those of our leaders – i.e. if they fail we fail – if they succeed we succeed.

- Lee Kuan Yew is famous for saying ‘yes I will eat very well but if I do so will you’ Why bite the hand that whips the weak to make sure you eat well.... If you bite it too hard it cannot whip the weak --- making you the weak --- meaning you get to feel the whip….

- Nation… clan … individual…. The zero sum game plays out amongst nations first … but as resources become more scarce the battle comes closer to home with clans battling for what remains…. Eventually it is brother against brother ….

- As the PTB run out of outsiders to whip and rob…. They turn on their own…. As we are seeing they have no problem with destroying the middle class because it means more for them… and when the weak rise against them they have no problem at all deploying the violent tactics that they have used against the weak across the world who have attempted to resist them

- Eventually of course they will turn against each other…. Henry Kissinger and Maddy Albright bashing each other over the head with hammers fighting over a can of spam – how precious!

Dude. Good post, but too long. Spend 5 minutes editing youself rather than making us spend 10 minutes reading through your tome.

QUESTION .Would our socieities function as well, without our ' psychopathic pyramid of control', power structure in place ?

Every nation has a psychopathic pyramid syructure. What we see, is a clash of international pyramids of power ? But what can we use to replace it ?

Answers please... I'm open on it. Mans nature implies we've NEVER behaved any differently , so how we live , has ? to be seen as NORMAL ? I'm still stuck on it all really, peering out from my bunker.

Change the rules = change the leaders = Invert The Pyramid . But would that work ? Only one way to find out huh ?

We have wars because of women. If joining didn't get you laid, or if moms taught their boys early on not to throw away their lives for someone else, there'd be no wars.

Elites don't fight wars. They don't even sign up. 18 year old boys do. They get their names called in church, their soon to be fat small town girlfriend wants onto military welfare, and they think their making their moms proud.

If the elite don't fight in the wars, why blame them for it?

Wars.....it's so some people, that are in the elitist club, can obtain much more wealth and power.

The soldiers are just pawns in the elitist game.

This could be one of the dumber posts by ZH. Sometimes the tin foil gets in the way of your eyes eh?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

That which an elite group of psychopaths formerly thought was their exclusive domain in which to exercise and enjoy rule and reign, are now discovering it, the ownership of banks that control governments with funding to all sides in wars for profit and perverse manufactured consent which is a rape perpetrated upon peoples, and IT mastery by others than puppets and muppets which they presume to own, are their abiding and easily targeted and hit Achilles Heel.

Changed times, with new ways and means and memes indeed, and in deed, amigos.
