Hive Mind

Is it possible, by will or process, what we so vehemently grasp as the truth is often nothing more than plausible belief? Plausibility, the reasonable deductions that follow in adherence to accepted social norms is flexible, pliable, and easy to those known to the art to format. We so often believe with no proof and others so often question the obvious at the scrutiny and unbending minds written with incorrigible reproach and incredulity. Through young age and naiveté and despite my unwillingness to bend to theories so disturbing, I must admit most statistically fall in the former category. But this is a trust that I find difficult to accept.

Denial on its own, regardless of unique attachment is understandable. Reserved to dispute such notions could be persons in high authority. Conspiracy theories would not survive such adversity if all the evidence to the contrary was entirely dissuasive.  

That is not to say that they are without falsehood. They are grains of truth embedded in a muddled pool of lies and deception further convoluted by the innocent of mind and the convictions of those who only wish for the light to be shed on the truth; justice seen for the victims who have been afflicted, the lives that have been lost. Such is the way our world works. Chaos suggests that you will find order and intricate patterns in the seemingly haywire and unrelated components of an unbeknownst working. That does not always state that they will be understood. Truth of observation does not by default include or incorporate scientific understandings or explanations. 

How can a duty of said convictions fall to a people if they are silenced before they are able to speak and persecuted before they can state with free speech what they believe is the truth? Avenues that are supposed to stream and connect one another have turned against the host it was supposed to serve, only to service a darker nature for corrupt purposes. Effectively.

What then do we define ourselves as, a force of a stampede running in the direction we were prodded to go with mindless veracity and no say in the matter? Or those that do speak discredited with a simple word of a totalitarian nature, whether born of scientific legitimacy or another falsehood, no clear defining line is present. If it does not serve the better interests of this elusive power it will be known to the public with minimal opposition or second glances as outlandish and absurd in essence.

For a simple world with simple rules we can turn our culture into a central ring of lies, corruption, greed, death, and oppression. The illusion being a fair and just country that perhaps never was. The idealism laid down by the founding fathers I will always respect, seems like nothing save a central ideology that was too glorious and impossible to ever be dreamt into reality. What I find impossible is the blind spot to realization. We are America, land of the oppressed. Was it ever anything different?
