Hello everyone. After seeing this person on the street with this sign, it struck me as another reminder of how often fear is used in the indoctrination process to control others. Fear is an impediment to critical thinking. When we become fearful, our minds kick into a fight or flight response and we no longer can access the higher cortex part of the brain which houses our abilities to reason. If you come across information where you feel your fear response rising try your best to pause and assess if the information is being used to accurately inform you or to possibly manipulate.
