Property, indeed. Chattel. The first to go, and the last to know. Treated like mushrooms; kept in the dark and fed horseshit. Don't ask questions, just follow orders. Need to know. And you don't. And behold! Look what multi-generational behavioral conditioning such as this leads to. A literal nation of Sheeple.

"What do you get for pretending the danger's not real

Meek and obedient you follow the leader

Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel

What a surprise

The look of terminal shock in your eyes

Now things are really what they seem

No, this is no bad dream."

• Pink Floyd

Enjoy! 🤣
