180-degrees off in the modern 'first world'! Most people are so dumbed down due to the mind control ('govern [meaning control] ment[ality]') that the more they 'know', the more likely they are to vote for complete corp-gov animated shit-heads. That's why with very few exceptions most 'western democracies' have WEF 'young global leaders' figure-heads as 'leaders.'
Ment = To frag-ment ows mind with a repeating (orna-ment) pattern with such amaze-ment until align-ment is reacht that the embank-ment (surounding) is good and necesary for enjoy-ment and accomplish-ment without adjust-ment but with acknowledg-ment to the agree-ment off advance-ment of ever more control.
Short version, the act of taking control.
