If people are isolated and don’t have social support and are therefore more emotionally vulnerable and unstable (basically we are put into isolation to a lesser degree than prison inmates) then it is easier for the government to control us.
- weakfish 2y agoWhy do you believe the government seeks to control us? Genuine question
- uptownfunk 2y agoThe government has laws that it makes you obey. American Values they want you to have. Money of yours that they take. How is it different from control?
- zo1 2y agoNot OP. I don't think they actively want it or pursue it as some sort of conscious objective, it's just something that makes a lot of things easier for government. It's essentially gradient descent and the government following the thing that's slightly better for it, with no view of the bigger picture.
