Are The People Rejecting Political Propaganda?

Over the years there has always been a small amount of political propaganda pushed by those who control the media and entertainment, but it has never been this rampant and blatant as it today. And unfortunately it does mostly come from the left, and when I say left I mean collectivism, cultural Marxists and identity political folks, these are the same folks who have done it throughout history. Those who advocate for the group and not the individual, are the same people that believe the will of the group takes precedence over the will of one person, and that if the majority wills it they can then strip the individual of their inalienable rights. This is done across the board from limiting free speech, banning opposing opinions and even violating property rights with taxation to name but a few. The media has always done it very subtly, for example like Fox news being the worse, or like police discriminating against black people, climate change, the list goes on.

Somewhere along the line the desperate need for power and control became the main goal, and this was all thanks to the internet and places like YouTube as well as other social media platforms where these monopoly narrative was now no longer those select elite. The people where free to listen to anyone, independent voices started being favored over the old school elite media, Hollywood, and approved voices who were selected by the king makers. This new phenomena could not be stopped and these oligarchs started to panic and doubled down on pushing their ideologies more blatantly, and the people noticed the facade fading.


"If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly." - Thomas Sowell

We can see how the mainstream media constantly pushing political ideology in real time thanks to the internet, but also how Hollywood has become and extension of that propaganda. People are now very much aware of the absolute bias of the media, once you see it, it can not be unseen, kind of like in the Matrix. They system of control is making itself more visible as the scramble to regain that control. When evaluating poplar media, the desperation has become so prevalent that stories and even just money has taken a back seat to dominating a one sided narrative. Films like latest Star Wars the last Jedi's bad reception was partially due to a political agenda being more important than money, and they were too arrogant to even think that people would reject it. They are realizing their mistakes and have been on a mission to fix the flaw in the system, that is to go straight to the source which is the independent voices.

I know I make it sound like there is some evil deep state orchestrating these nefarious plans, I mean that could very much be the case, but it's probably far more a case of incompetence like the decision makers of these specific companies who literately control everything just happen to all share the same ideologies. There is not enough diversity of thought and this is usually what happens in tribalism, no one who openly thinks different will get into the club, which is media, entertainment and tech. These are now unfortunately the people that control everything we see, and that can be very influential, imagine what effect a company like Google can have if they are able to remove the opposing argument? They will eventually be able to shape the thinking of the entire world over time.


"I don't think art is propaganda; it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it." - Keith Haring
