My choice of word, ideologue, is too vague it appears. I was thinking of the radicals. Say, those who understand the system and want to change it, or smash it. They care little for its profits or favors.
Ahh, good. They have put entire populations to death in the past, it's comforting to know they're no longer a worry.
They never were, and the nature of war has changed. Brutality is sloppy and resource expensive. Better to simply have the masses who like their bread and circuses to confound any would be revolutionary. It was a master stroke to bring out the words, conspiracy theorist, to anyone who challenged the fed. Now anyone who says anything about the fed is considered purely for entertainment value. Because as a theorist, you also believe in UFO's and the NWO and the Illuminati, and other such nonsense. Pure evil genius.
