The world isn't controlled by idiots, it's controlled by evil people who use idiocy as a tool.

In the realm of politics, power is the goal. They will use whatever tactics they can to achieve this. They are master manipulators, and a major tool they use is idiocy.<br><br>The simplest example is Fox News. Fox News was created as a mechanism to create division. It isn't run by idiots, it's run by people who have a better understanding of the world than most here. When looking at the world, it's easy to see that the masses are easily manipulated, so they create a network, a place where people can go to get their opinions cemented. They feed them what they want to hear, and use that to control a large chunk of the population. Rinse and repeat on the other side of the political spectrum with MSNBC.<br><br>They create situations that terrify us, and then feed us the solutions to these situations. They create problems and then hand us the solutions. Voting for political parties is a good example. <br><br>One of the biggest examples of idiocy being used is the "woke" movement. How many people have been convinced to support discrimination as a good thing? How many people now support prejudice as a good thing? <br><br>We feel like we need to choose sides and back what we believe in. They create situations designed to make us sit in our echo chambers and never ask questions, never truly look at the grand scheme of things. Never really look.
