      Because people are fucking stupid, and even stupider people prey on them en masse. Simple as.

          Motivation? To be fair, I have no idea beyond conjecture, though the effects certainly play nice with their other methods of misinformation and target results: distraction, uncertainty, decay of trust, perforation of hope, community attrition, isolation, division, et al.

          If no one’s trustworthy, how can a rebellion even spark much less foment effectively? If the primary source of this oppression is obfuscated to look like scores of minor psychopaths instead, how will any resistance unify itself?

          Keeping us dumb, testy, and drained makes bawbags of us all. 🤌🏼

      The doctor that did mine; made sure that I knew that it whilst it was theoretically reversible; it is a major surgery vs a minor one to get it done, and the success rate is very low ~20%. So best consider a vasectomy as permanent and irreversible.
