Yep,it’s trained behavior. You’d think humans are a step above dumb animals but they’re not. “Go along to get along” is the carrot and the stick.
I think its the opposite.
I think people have to be trained to be free.
Man in his natural state is a follower who craves to be told what to do and how to live.
Everywhere else in the world and throughout history, there have been various levels of master/slave relationship.
Only in America have we been trained for generations to be free and exercise our natural rights of freedom. And only because our forefathers made it so.
Immigration without proper training and assimilation has infected us with the serf mentality. Our education system has taught against liberty.
Now we have a large amount of our population that doesn't even know what liberty looks like.
Those of us that have American liberty in our DNA are being attacked by those that don't.
