I get the feeling lately that the media and commercial industries are conspiring to keep the mass population entertained with bright colors and shiny things like new smartphones in order to distract us from the dire real issues that are hanging over the head of the world like the Sword of Damocles.
Buy this new smartphone that’s part of the grand plan of obsolescence and will be obsolete in 2 years.
Buy this new style of fast food that will make you obese and unable to care about life.
Buy this new sporty car that’s unsafe but gets great gas mileage.
Buy this new video game that you really can’t afford but look, shooters!
I just feel like I see right through the machine, like it’s all transparent to me now. I see the deception, the lies, the bread and circuses. Put selfish, power-hungry old white men in power, keep them there, and distract the population that’s becoming ever poorer with ever more shiny distractions to keep them from seeing the truth.
