HISTORY IS REPEATING AGAIN

Listen up, folks, let’s cut through the noise.

Imagine a world where people actually stood on their own two feet, like they used to—

capable, independent, ready to defend themselves without begging for a handout or a badge to save ‘em.

If we still had that grit, we wouldn’t be drowning in this police-state America we’ve let creep back in.

And don’t kid yourself—

this ain’t ancient history. We’re talking a single lifetime ago, a hundred years, max. That’s a blink in time.

So, let’s get real: have we evolved in that short span, or have we devolved into a bunch of complacent sheep?

🤔 You tell me.

Every Fourth of July, people wave flags, grill burgers, and cheer for the Declaration of Independence without a clue what it really stands for.

This country wasn’t built on law-abiding drones kissing the ring of authority.

It was forged by free men—Freemen,

Freemasons, call ‘em what you want—

folks who didn’t bow to nobody.

Want proof?

Fire up a browser, but not Google—

that’s a rigged web crawler, not a search engine, pushing whoever pays the most to the top.

Try Brave instead. Punch in “Peabody Museum” or “Elizabeth Peabody.”

Dig a little, and you’ll see it:

the wealthy folks who built this nation, the ones called Freemen, they weren’t sitting around waiting for permission.

Here’s the kicker:

freedom ain’t free—

it’s a responsibility. Look at those who escape North Korea, risking everything to break free.

You know what’s wild?

Some go back. Yeah, back to the dictatorship they fought to leave. Why?

Because choosing for themselves is too damn hard.

They’d rather be told what to do than carry the weight of freedom.

Sound familiar?

We’ve got Americans today who’d rather obey their masters than think for themselves. Any fool can know something; the point is to understand it.

Let’s talk about why.

The Prussian Model education system, rolled out in the late 1800s, was designed to churn out obedient workers, not independent thinkers.

The men who declared independence?

They didn’t sit through government-mandated schooling.

Yet they were sharper, more articulate, and wiser than the conformist crowd today, glued to their screens, scared to step out of line.

Fear’s got millions in a chokehold now, just like it did back then.

But somehow, we’re blind to it.

Before the “tella-vision,” before Hollywood’s propaganda machine, before reality TV and social media influencers shaped our brains, people weren’t so easily suckered.

Social media?

It’s a trap, built to hook the emotionally illiterate—

folks reading words on a screen in their own voice, projecting their own tone, without a shred of real human connection. That’s not how we’re wired to communicate.

Persuasive tech’s got us by the throat, and most don’t even know they’re signing away their freedom with every scroll, like, and share.

We’re on a collision course with a point of no return, and people are too busy chasing dopamine hits to notice.

Same chemical rush as drugs, by the way—
just less honest about it.

Censorship’s alive and well, and now we’re even censoring ourselves.

You want truth?

Hop into a Twitter Space,
listen to real people—

researchers, readers, folks doing the work—

and you’ll hear what the algorithm buries. But most won’t. They’d rather scroll than search, post than think.

The evidence is one click away, but people will do backflips to avoid looking for themselves. It’s painful to watch, like seeing someone choose chains over freedom. 💔

We’re repeating the same mistakes, scrubbed from history so we forget what “real” even means.

The original’s gone, folks.

Time to wake up and take it back.
