How sheeple are created

Sheeple have long existed.

Who built the pyramids, I mean hauled the rock, stacked the stones, etc.? Sheeple did. Who powered Columbus’ boats? Sheeple. Who comprised the congregation at Jim Jones church? Sheeple.

Every generation produces scores of new sheeple. Here’s a recipe for making sheeple,

“The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger.” - Hermann Goering, second in command of the Third Reich, at the Nuremberg Trials in 1945

The current administration is setting the stage for a harvest. The newest crop of sheeple is ready to be ready to be picked.

I hate to tell you, Hermann. We realists, we non-believers, we freethinkers are scared all the time. We see a reality not filtered by superstition. We know that at any moment some fool could cause destruction and death for some “noble purpose” on such a scale as to set in motion the end of humanity. I may not dwell on it every moment, but it forms an underlying awareness below my daily experiences.

Another thing that scares us; the possibility that one day folks like us will piss off the administration one time too many and wind up being surgically or chemically altered into sheeple.
