This week we set out to call nonsense what it is and trace how shallow outrage and captured institutions nudge people toward obedience while eroding the dignity of individual choice. From media’s “bag spreading” to Idiocracy’s control levers and Milgram’s obedience study, we test the line between courtesy, convenience, and coercion.
• why performative outrage replaces personal responsibility
• how convenience infrastructures centralise control
• captured regulators and incentives that distort truth
• statistics versus the lived experience of individuals
• utilitarian traps and the limits of tidy moral math
• obedience to authority and the Milgram pattern
• power’s cycle of corruption and revolt
• the courage to entertain ideas without yielding
• faith and conscience as guardrails for liberty
• practical ways to push back with clarity and grace
Christ is King, Jesus loves you, He's coming back soon
