About 10 years ago, I realized that the single biggest successful psyop ever perpetuated was the idea that we should each have an opinion on such matters.
The military-industrial / political complex needs you to have an opinion, because then you can be molded. Its better for them that you take the "wrong" side then to take no side. By you taking the "wrong side" you become something that can be rallied around to motivate the opposition voting base.
What the money laundering complex can't deal with is when you have no opinion on such matters.
Take the shrug-pill.

I very purposefully try not to have takes on anything that I'm not positioned to have a take on, opinions being like assholes, etc. But some things are very big and I feel like I should know what's in play as a general understand-the-state-of-reality principle.

Oh yes, WW3 (if it would happen) would affect all of us.
Nothing wrong at all knowing about things going on in the world. In reality I was pretty much reminding myself to not drug into taking sides.

Having no opinion is not enough, you need to also remove their ability to steal the funds of people who are agnostic/apathetic.
