It reminds me of how cocaine tonics and opiate elixirs used to be sold over over-the-counter, until the Rockefellows invented the pharmaceutical industry and gaslit everyone into outsourcing responsibility for their own health to the citadel of "modern medicine", at which point the American public became too infantilized to do anything more than trust the man in the white coat, and these items suddenly became unacceptably dangerous.
Which is not to say they weren't potentially dangerous, and could do harm, but for the most part the public was willing to accept that the consequence of freedom requires taking individual responsibility.
But those days are gone, it seems. And here's a question: should people have the freedom to live like sheep? Well, yes, but how do we reconcile that when their nerfed society drives the wolves to the verge of extinction?
