That’s the scary part, Emmet. Who picks the values, curriculum, and so on? Will most people ever know who’s shaping their thoughts and or their offspring’s thoughts? Not likely, imo.

No reason to be too pessimistic in this respect, Aeronaut. Education is a key ingredient here. The democratization of knowledge through the internet is another. Of course… spreading propaganda like this little movieclip is also made much easier through the internet. But at least it levels the playingfield. FFS can now post a video response to this clip and so get the discussion started on youtube. What can we do more to promote our cause? In the end people will have to make up their own minds. Do you support the dark side of centrally controlled and distributed power (and condemn yourself to wearing that awful, androgenic attire)? Or do you support the rebelion of distributed empowerment (and get to wear one of those cool, colorful FFS shirts)? 😉
