Socialism, communism, fascism, liberal agenda, conservative agenda, Republican vs. Democrat. You name it; they are all a part of or instigated an epidemic of unreasonable, unfounded, and absurd fear in America.

Who is to blame? You, the American people, are to blame.

First, you did not seek to educate yourselves in the truth of the situations that cause you fear. You accepted blindly the information given to you by the media and the government. You confused information with facts. One simply needs a basic understanding of information technology to know the difference. The media acquires data, which are unprocessed facts. They process that data into whatever they want to tell you, turning it into information. Unfortunately, they have an agenda of fear, and turn even the simplest of stories into something made to instill in you a fear of what ever they want you to be afraid of.

Second, you allowed yourselves to be divided amongst subgroups. These groups are race, gender, sexual orientation, age, financial well being, and religious and political beliefs. Then you allowed yourself to be convinced that those not within your group are “out to get you.” You are convinced that anyone not within your tiny subgroup is the enemy. That they want to take your freedoms away from you. This is simply untrue. It is holistically unreasonable to believe that the common, ordinary citizen living next to you is out to get you. This is referred to as paranoid schizophrenia in the mental health community. Is all of the US one big collection of mentally unhealthy people? No, just the completely uninformed.

How do we fix this problem? Easy, you must stop being programmable, automaton tools for the corporate media to manipulate into a frenzy of unreasonable fear and loathing. Stop living in fear of people who are different from you or that do not agree with your religious beliefs. They are not evil tyrants out to get you. They are simply a part of what makes this country of ours great. A collection of various people working toward the same goals; peace, prosperity, and happiness.
