   The dominant ideology of any society serves the interests of its ruling class. The only ideas allowed to participate in the capitalist marketplace are pro-system; any others are starved of support. The dominant culture tells us how to think and behave through the stories and myths of mainstream media, entertainment, and religion.

   It indoctrinates us in its schools.
   Its traditions train us in habits of individualism, competition, and subservience to authority.
   Its ideologies reinforce structural oppression such as misogyny, racism, homophobia, xenophobia and nationalism.
   The nuclear family is a self-policing social unit enforcing the domination of children and women.

   How can you be an individualist AND subservient to authority?

   Good question, you will need to understand Authoritarians, both the leaders and their followers. They tend to think much alike.

   I am very disturbed at how many people support the present Drone Wars and the kill orders of our president. It seems that if you have a “D” after your name you are free from all scrutiny. Party affiliation should mean nothing. I guess these dupes and fools would welcome in a Fascist govt if they say they are Democrats and not Republicans. The fools, they cut their own throats.

   You don’t get it, the Plutocrats have infiltrated all relevant parties. Many of them in the Libertarians too. Doesn’t matter. Sooner or later they will being down our Republic if not stopped.
