Reply #21: People Hating Against Their Own Interests

[KharmaTrain]

I'm totally and blissfully unaware of Lost or American Idol or any prime time network teevee. And no knock whatsoever on those who watch. To each their own. You hit on a nerve when you unmask the corporate media and popular culture that has polarized or numbed and dumbed them down...so much so that we have many who vote against their true best interests and proudly do so. They're so blinded in their ignorance and arrogance they've been contorted into a Pavlovian response to things...reacting with no thinking only because they've been so conditioned into a specific mindset.

People are angry but also very misdirected. They hate corporations yet still stop at Walmart cause it's the "lowest price". They listen to hate radio or Faux noise that reninforces the distortions in a perversely comforting way that leads to greater division and misunderstanding. Overall it plays into the favor of the elites who know that a divided populace is in their best interests. Seems not to matter how fucked up things get...if anything the worse they get the more divided people are.
