In the 1980’s on kids’ tv shows, there were so many PSAs about how to get out of quicksand, we general masses who absorbed everything we saw on tv were mildly worried and prepared for quicksand should we ever find ourselves in such a squishy sandy predicament, but doubtful any of us ever had to put our quicksand life-preservation skills into action.

which led my mind on a train of thought, Real quick I’m gonna put on my conspiracy theorist hat and speculate that all those quicksand PSAs may have been a fun harmless little government psyop just to mess with people and see how we reacted.

Because let’s face it, people in power have known for decades & centuries that the entertainment industry grasps everyone’s attention and It’s an excellent medium to insert any thoughts or worldviews into the minds of the masses.

And in case you haven’t noticed, the media has been doing increasingly worse things to our minds nowadays via the music industry and screens. It’s so normal and everywhere that people don’t even notice it and disregard it as harmless entertainment, but look a little closer. It’s everywhere. “Popular” modern music is all about depression and self-loathing, hatred, crime (time stamp 1 minute 57 seconds)

But that music is popular to who exactly? Is this really what the masses want? Self-loathing, hatred, depression, crime? I doubt it.

The people who choose what gets played to the masses are not the masses themselves. The people who choose what’s considered mainstream music are those in control of the entire music industry and they choose what goes into the minds of anyone slack-jawed enough to take in and accept whatever is floating around in the air around them.

The conglomerates on top have an agenda. The agenda is darkness and corrupting society by starting from the individual level, breaking down humans from the inside out. And to glamorize crime in order to fill up for profit-prisons which fill the pockets of wealthy conglomerates.

Yesterday I saw a “harmless entertainment” billboard along the 405 freeway in Los Angeles, in Spanish it said “god of the skies” with a huge image of a foreboding looking man scowling at the traffic and world below him. like what the heck? Why would that be on a billboard for all of Los Angeles to see?

They could put happy feel-good imagery up there like rainbows and puppy dogs, but no, they put a huge terrifying face portraying God scowling upon all mankind.

Why can’t we just have rainbows & puppy dogs & kittens & positive messages on billboards? Can we just do that please?

No, the powers-that-be want everybody to be uncomfortable in a dark foreboding world and make that dark forboding feeling the very core of our individual subconscious psyches, and that is what they constantly pump through the media because they know the media has everyone hypnotized and it does affect our minds whether or not we realize it or admit it.

But why would they do this? I can only speculate it’s to psychologically break down the masses so we keep thinking that life = suffering and the only way to find happiness is through money which motivates us to continue being slaves to capitalism in our miserable jobs with the hope that someday we may be able to purchase happiness,

and a broken dysfunctional society is easier to control than a healthy strong happy intelligent society would be.

Meanwhile the people at the top of the food chain, having broken the masses down to a state of miserable servitude, are rolling in the wealth that we’ve created for them. TPTB know better to rise above & not consume all the dark foreboding media that they produce.

    That thinking is way too conspiratorial, my friend. The media is dark because conflict is more interesting than rainbows and sunshine. It’s exactly why YouTube is filled with clickbaity titles and thumbnails: it’s not some conspiracy to have soyjack pointing hysterically, it’s because it’s effective.

    Buddhism also teaches life = suffering, but their solution is through introspection, not buying shit you don’t need.

    Edit: Oh, just realized I’m on c/conspiracy. Carry on then, lol.
