Some people have argued that these brand new “thermometers” that are shaped like guns (where did these comes from?) that are being held up to people’s heads (but especially up to kid’s heads in schools) is a form of preprogramming. They want people to get used to the feeling of both having a gun to your head or putting a gun to the head of your fellow citizens from a position of authority. The other one is being programmed to submit. Weird shit.
