I can buy a thousand different tooth brushes, but I can only vote for two main federal political parties.
What kind of choice is that?
What if neither choice is attractive? Then what?
Left or Right?
Neither.
Green consumerism or ordinary consumerism?
Neither.
Internal combustion or electric car?
Neither.
Work for this boss or work for that boss?
Neither.
By framing our choices they limit our choices and our freedom to live more richly and intentionally.
They go as far as to tell us there are no other choices, that what what we see now is somehow inevitable and unchangeable.
Have we forgotten that there are other choices available to us rather than the strictly limited officially sanctioned ones?
The West or The East?
Neither.
Capitalism or communism?
Neither.
City or suburbs?
Neither.
White meat or red meat?
Neither.
Beer or spirits?
Neither.
Old World Order or New World Order?
How about No World Order? Is that a choice, too, and if not, why not?
The choices they give us aren't choices. They are more like threats or demands to maintain our compliance.
Going strictly with the narrow narrative on anything restricts thinking, choices, and freedom.
Choose not to choose any of their limited choices. Make your own choice.
And in closing, do we really need thousands of different makes and models of tooth brushes?
They have this choice thing backwards.
Important stuff = very limited choices.
Unimportant stuff = dizzying array of choices.
Both situations are paralyzing.
Perhaps that is the result they intend.
