How it works

Low wages and worry about your kids makes you easy to rule. If you ain't got time to think you're unlikely to organise and unlikely to revolt. Govenment - tells us lies so we agree to go to war so we let them spend our taxes on weapons of mass destruction rather than education and hospitals and jobs

Govenment - tells us lies
so we agree to go to war,
so we let them spend our taxes on weapons of mass destruction rather than education and hospitals and jobs,
so we let them give big loans to nasty dictators
with which to buy our weapons of mass destruction
with which to terrorise their own population,
so that nasty dictators can steal their country's natural resources like coal, oil, copper, wood, agriculture
so that nasty dictators can sell these stolen goods cheap to rich people,
so that rich people become richer
and give our government money
with which to pay newspapers and television to tell us lies,
so that we vote them into power

Government - gives loans to nasty dictators
so they can buy our weapons of mass destruction,
so they use them to terrorise their own population,
so their population become slaves,
so their population produce clothes and shoes and electronics for nothing,
and we buy the clothes and shoes and electronics and this makes the rich people richer,
and our buying these clothes, shoes and electronics undercuts our own wages and makes us poorer and therefore easier to rule,
and makes the rich people even richer,
so they then give our government even more money
with which to pay newspapers and television to tell us lies,
so that we vote them into power;
because poor people are easier to rule than rich people

Govenment - tells us lies
so we agree to go to war
to replace nasty dictators who no longer do what they're told
with nasty dictators who do

Govenment - tells us lies
so we agree to go to war
so that other nasty dictators know what happens if they don't do as they're told

Govenment - tells us lies
so we agree to go to war
so that democracies know what happens if they don't elect governments that do what they're told to do by the rich people
