    We live in a beautiful Corpocracy and you will fucking love it, god damn it!! Drink the Disney to distract and calm your weary mind. Consume more and you will feel alive again. Promise! Ignore the crimes of the corporations, without those you wouldn’t have The New Thing you adore and you wouldn’t be yearning for The Next Thing! You NEED The Next New Thing.

    Its fucking sickening. I’m in my early 30s and it feels hopeless. Surely the masses can see the sheer manipulation and control that governments and corporations have over us. Why aren’t more people irate that They are raping the Earth to line Their pockets, fucking Us over in the process?

    Everyone has been polarised into an “Us vs Them” mindset. Keep us divided and channeling our collective rage at each other, lest we actually find power in our overwhelming numbers. It hurts.

      I’m ready to get downvoted, but this is exactly the reason I’m incredibly sceptical about any conflicts going on, including wars. I just think the possibility of the “two sides” working together just to polarize society is too goddamn high. But of course, as soon as you bring a subject like this into a discussion, you immediately get bombarded with the “you are against my idea so you’re an extremist” kind of vocabulary… For example: “Omg you’re pro-russian” - meanwhile I volunteer to help Ukrainian people, but I guess I love Russia when I do that. Shit’s wild…

        It’s domestic as well. Red vs Blue is just a distraction and you can’t point this out because nearly everyone is divided along those lines to the point of ignoring getting fucked up the ass.

        Alienation maybe? I’d just describe it as divide and conquer which is a pretty common Marxist description of capital’s political strategy

          nope, it’s about how the bourgeouis make the proletariat fight each other rather than them
