Who is us?

Us is 328 million UnitedStatesians, or 7.9 billion humans on the earth.  Wow!  Either way, that's a lot of people!  Either way that's a helluva lot of people!  And us are not very well informed.  And us are not trained to do critical thinking.  Most of what us call thinking is emotional or sentimental reaction to the few facts us know, and all too often to pseudo-facts us are fed.  Our masters have no reason to tell us what's so.  They have plenty of reason to tell us platitudes and outright lies.  Heck, if us knew about our masters and how they manipulate us, us might revolt!  Revolutions are so untidy!  And unpredictable.  Compare the Glorious Revolution in England to the French Revolution.  Yes, left to our own devices, us are probably better off being led by our likes and dislikes than trying to make important decisions on our own.

Funny then that I'm an ardent supporter of republics.  "Democracy" is just a lie.  It requires slavery, and it fully occupies all citizens voting about trash collection and clean water and armies and wars and all that.  No, better to let a few politicians amuse themselves with all that so the rest of us can go about the daily business of house cleaning and making a living and having a good time.  Or a bad time if that's your preference.
