Why do people fear sickness but not poverty or starvation?
Because the media doesn’t talk about the latter.
Why media cartels need to be broken up.

Translated from original

By Aliasy – (henrymakow.com)

It is amazing how easily people slid down the Maslow pyramid.
Freedom, dignity, even prosperity are not needed. People are ready to die of hunger, as long as they don’t get sick with the Covid.
Fear has a completely interior, animal character.
In fact, this fear is even stronger than the fear of death, since death from starvation seems preferable to infection with Covid (which leads to death in a small minority of cases).
And why? Because death from starvation, like death from other diseases, is not in the media. Therefore, it does not exist. The specifics of the information age of society: that which is not in the media does not exist.
And, inversely, there is only what is in the media.
