Capitalism is the bastard child of Patriarchy and The Corporate State is its literal and figurative real world manifestation.

“One trend that bothers me is the glorification of stupidity, that the media is reassuring people that it’s alright not to know anything.” ~Carl Sagan

"Most humans will seek Safety and Comfort long before they seek Awareness. That is hard wired as a survival mechanism. Only an elite few have the Willingness and the Courage to become Awake. We are a social species. Hierarchy is in our nature. And Leaders are *required*.

Refusal to accept that will lead only to frustration and failure. If you believe nothing else I tell you, believe that.

The Cult of The Individual has crippled us as individuals, leaving us prey to the purposeless greed of The Corporate State. Only a positive overarching Goal for the entire Species can once again create the room for individuals to flourish because such a Goal allows each individual to contribute that which they are best at and are happiest with by removing uncertainly and therefore removing Fear.

By knowing the Greater Purpose, each individual knows how and what they can contribute, whether that be in Engineering or in Art or even just sweeping up. All those things have Value. In return, the Social Order gives all its members that which they need to live and the ability to find where they can best be of Service, which is the Highest Good for all." ~Nebris

“And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it's already happened.” ~Douglas Coupland

In the military Doctrine of Force Concentration, it is stated that an attacker needs a Force Ratio of three to one over the defender. Ukraine's armed forces consists of 361,000 troops, so the Russians need over a million military personnel in order to secure its outcome. So far it seems the have only committed to 190,000. This is primary reason why they're being checked everywhere. Secondary considerations are the morale of the respective forces and Russia's so-so logistics.
