Indoctrination: How the Ignorant are being Overwhelmed with Propaganda

I agree people are not critical enough of what other people tell them. Humans are innate liars, born to lie, wired to do so, especially to themselves. No surprise then that the mass media is mostly manipulative lies. We are so susceptible.

Part of being an adult is learning to be critical of all info and notions that come your way, including your own thoughts. This part of adulthood seems to have been abandoned by the vast majority of our society, perhaps due to over a century of mass media conditioning us and how we react to info, and for many centuries also, religions conditioning us to accept absurd assertions on faith alone. Our society has been shaped to be brainwashed for a very long time now. Wake up.

Here is a quote from the article:

The true paradigm of Right vs. Left is that the Left represents immorality, slavery, and submission, while the Right represents morality,

I'm calling bullshit on this quote. Is that why the Right voted George Bush into office not once but twice at the beginning of this century, because they were voting morally? Terms like "morality" are also psychobabble, there are only facts, only information and the consequences of that information. The whole Right and Left paradigm is bullshit, created for you by your masters. As long as we side with one or the other, we continue to bow our heads to the yoke of control.

If you disagree with this assertion, I encourage you to rationalize why, and I always applaud dissent against my views (which are often in need of correction), but contend those who think they are conservative or liberal, or that those points of view are real are still trapped by the master manipulators.

It's all theater. It's dualism. It's good cop v. bad cop. Politics is as strong a divider as is religion. They are both illusions. Deception. Mind control. All so a few can have power and money. It is slavery. It is theft of free will.

It's hard to be awake these days because everything now appears to be a fraud. Everywhere you turn. It's sickening.

America seems to need an addiction and TV made it easy to control the masses.
