In the movie The Matrix, Neo awakens and ends up flushed down in a sewer. This is the most precise depiction of someone who managed to wake up from bullshit and learn the truth. When you are in the know, you can no more enjoy almost anything. The more you know, the less you are able to be functional in society. I clearly remember enjoying life before learning the truth. The problem is that you have no choice. If you are unaware, you are risking your life everyday like unaware cattle.

Huh, never picked up on that little tid-bit. Yeah, you're right, there— the realization, as soon as you wake up, that everything is shit. Even once you come to terms with it, all you're still doing is wading through shit. The only hope we have is to wake enough people up that we can turn around and rebuild a real, non-illusory society.

All you need is to kill the 1% of the world wide pederast elite.

The average citizen is a shit eating moron...it couldn't hurt but it certainly won't fix all of the problems. The secret is that we can fix the problems but it doesn't involve going after the boogeymen (real or imagined). You are looking for the fast acting diet when what you need is to start doing pushups and eating your veggies
