World Collapsed

My wife made a very astute observation the other day whilst getting dressed. She proposed that the global economic meltdown was in fact the latest manifestation of sentient terror control ie governmental methods to keep the proletariat in fear. With eco-globowarmic tragedy a disporven myth and 9/11 reduced just a sentimental memorial t-shirt, those in power have ramped up the psychological warfare and introduced a banking crisis as the latest mechanism with which to beat freedom into submission. How would we ever actually know if Greece was bankrupt or if our local library really did need to close? Austerity measures have most likely made governments realise that people will actually tolerate a hell of a lot of sanctions in the name of 'saving the economy', which in itself is fucking ironic. You want to save your beloved consumerist society? Forgo the ability to consume and feed your family and instead put petrol on the dinner table, without it poor daddy will not be able to get to work and earn too little to actually clothe you in anything other than sweatmark or asda-world-gone-mad. Dark days, if you believe them.
