Psychology@lemmy.ml•Prohibition and the Profit Motive: How the US Sold Control as Virtue
2·9 months agoThat’s exactly it—same machine, just with new masks.
I really appreciate your perspective, especially coming from someone who’s seen the cycles firsthand. The fact that governments still wrap control in the language of “safety” says everything about how long this game’s been played.
And yeah… trusting the powerful because we voted for them—that part hits. Manufactured consent is real.
I think what gives me hope is that some of us are starting to ask deeper questions. Maybe not enough yet—but it’s a spark. And sparks spread. Thank you for sharing yours.

If they could sell Prohibition as virtue and get away with poisoning people—
what else do we accept as “normal” that’s actually built on control and profit?

I wrote this because the crumbling education system is something deeply personal to me. It’s not just broken—it’s familiar.
Has anyone else ever felt like you had to unlearn and reteach yourself just to actually understand the world?
Because when a system fails us that hard, we’re forced to become our own teachers. And that’s where resistance begins.
This one hit different when I wrote it.
I wasn’t trying to be polished—I just needed to get the fire out of me before it ate everything.
Anyone else ever write something down just to survive a moment?

History@lemmy.world•King George III's descent into madness: A tale of royal tragedyEnglish
2·9 months agoI think it’s honestly insane that King George III was the monarch during the American Revolution. Like—he literally watched his empire unravel while mentally deteriorating. The symbolism of that? Wild.
And it makes perfect sense, too—he wasn’t just “mad” in the medical sense. He was a monarch at the edge of an era where people were starting to reject divine rule, hereditary power, and all the illusions that kept empires running. His madness almost feels like a metaphor for the collapse of monarchy itself.
He’s one of those figures where the history feels mythic—like the universe couldn’t have picked a more poetic villain for the birth of a republic.
