Joseph MeyerMost people I know seem to be in an almost zombie-like state of quiet acquiescence about the situation in which we find ourselves today. Even academics have nothing to say. Is it because people are too busy to complain, or perhaps too afraid? Regardless of the reasons, I am shocked and confused why more people, myself included, are not making a huge fuss. Karl Marx once wrote, “religion is the opium of the people,” and perhaps he was largely correct. But consumerism and the hectic schedule of daily life in an oligarchy may also be today’s opiates (3/3)
