What you may not understand is that because our government and those who control society are significantly more sophisticated than brutish regimes you are most likely thinking of, you don't seem to recognize the ruse and subtle means for propaganda that are used to maintain a certain state, rather than attempt to bruit-force a desirable outcome. We have a long history of brutish and vile actions that led our society to reach the point where a subtle background frequency keeps the system humming. Just because you cannot see something for your inability to step out from the mainstream and get a wider perspective, does not make your attempt at negating valid. It is easy to go with the flow and ride the stream; it is far easier to question yourself and everything you have been taught and think you know. It takes courage and insight not easily gained.
