Each time one of their false gods constructed through fictional bullshit fails it makes them positively sick.
These literal socio-political deceptions so many people can't afford to survive without.
And every time they are disproven as nonsense the people get more positively sick. The masses that need to be possessed in order for their systems to function that revolt and balk anytime one of their precious deceptions are threatened.
And as increasingly important alters fail, the astounded masses will be positively sickened at the prospect because their minds were created by and perpetuating a false reality. And as each pillar of false alters is demolished their strength of the foundations of their false reality weakens, as the more important false gods they achieved fail. In the astonishment of such vast fictional pillars of false reality failing, they become more positively sick.
And all the deception, make believe and folly research and development will only get the sickness to sleep deeper into the depths of their corrupt cultures and bodies.
