Greetings good citizen, most have no clue how much influence the media has on your life. My first novel [Unplugged] focuses on exactly this phenomenon when the world of 'yak' suddenly goes silent and the ONLY thing you KNOW is what you see with your own eyes because the rest is 'hearsay'.
Some yearn for a time that pretty much never existed, a time where most couldn't read so the 'news' heavily relied on 'word of mouth'...and the top stories would be repeated with various embellishments, often obscuring the original report beyond recognition.
This is why written reporting was viewed as a 'god send' The ability to go back and read the original reduced the tendency to 'spin' the reporting to suit a given agenda. [note the 'reduced'] much of what you are told today is 'propaganda' in support of the 'larger narrative' intended to keep you wary yet docile.
How many of you glean the subtext in today's hype filled environment of 'watch out' with just the right undertone of 'but we're on top of it' to keep you from shooting the next shady looking character that crosses your path?
Society is brimming with self-serving, feral individuals. How sad is it that there isn't a prohibition against using fear to intimidate the general populace?
Conservative talk would collapse without the whole cloth chimera they regularly concoct to frighten those already possessed by a paranoid mind. [Remember yesterday's revelation that wariness is the natural 'protection' against becoming a meal for the opportunist?]
Part of the media's 'magic' [read mis-direction] is the constant strumming of the beware circuit in your consciousness, literally putting it to 'sleep' via over-stimulation.
How many of you are even aware this is happening?
Just as I suspected, too few. The rest are 'sleepwalking', fretting without knowing why and if they knew WHY they were doing this they'd be both frightened and pissed.
While no one will deny that mission number one is survival, the feckless will deny that mission number two is 'control' all day long and twice if you ask them to their face!
Why do I insist on telling you what you already, er, 'suspect/know'?
Because you aren't DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT [yet.]
Admit it Head, you 'forget' because the manipulation is both relentless and ceaseless.
Add in 'go along to get along' and acceptance becomes the 'path of least resistance'.
Here's your 'wake up call', YOU are so far gone you don't remember which direction 'up' is! [You are told down is up and you simply go along with it! That's how 'cowed' you are.]
I'd apologize for bitch slapping you but we'd both know how insincere that would be.
Doesn't help that you'd do it yourself if it weren't so pointless.
Your actions define you.
We all know we CAN'T act...but that doesn't prevent us from whispering. The FIRST STEP to throwing off an oppressor is condemning them.
No time like the present, The feckless have been doing it for decades, you've heard the whispering campaign against the hapless boomers who wrecked EVERYTHING.
Yeah, that's them and why do you appear shocked, weren't you taught that your failure was the fault of your 'ignorant parents' who stood there and 'took it' while the feckless raped them repeatedly.
Same shit, different generation.
Did I mention CONTROL?
Don't just sit there, CONDEMN THEM! [Failure to be SPECIFIC is the leading cause of FAILURE. What are you supposed to be condemning? OWNERSHIP! What is owned CAN'T be shared. The fucktards defend ownership by saying they 'sell' it to whoever can pay but if you don't have the 'asking price' [which is totally arbitrary] you get NONE so the 'sale' argument is total bullshit!]
NOBODY OWNS THE PLANET, we can't afford to allow the fucktards to claim it/anything for themselves...in God's name for fuck's sake!
If speaking to you rationally worked I would but it is obvious you only respond to being belittled.
I'd tell you to go fuck yourself but they beat me to it (and you're already doing it!)
