Not to say that I've watched nothing. I've been mooching streaming services and sailing the high seas for a while.
But I'm driving pretty much across the entire east coast of the US to visit my parents for Christmas. So I've stopped in hotels and such, and with nothing else to do I've turned on the TV. And holy shit, the propaganda is blatant. I don't know if its because I've been removed from it for so long or what.
WWF ads using 8 year old cropped videos of Polar Bears on ice. Donate now or they'll die to climate change! Be scared!
A drug ad for some drug to remove a side effect of some other brain-altering chemicals, anti-depressants probably. You finally got your mind sorted out thank to other drugs but now you've got involuntary hand or face movements. Take our drug too! "It's not fully understood how it works but it's believed to work" Literally telling you that.
Government propaganda about kids 5 and older being eligible for the clot shots. Video of children running around playing. Having fun. Being kids. And they still included shots of children in fucking masks.
Not to mention the fact that not a single commercial features solely a white heterosexual couple. I almost got bamboozled by a jewelery ad, because the first half was nothing but white man and white woman. Then they hit you with the mandatory interracial black man white woman and homosexuals.
This was all just one commercial break. People really sit here and see this shit every 20 minutes and they express no disgust or anything at all. Like damn, I knew it was bad from memery and such but seeing it with your own eyes is horrifying
Recently someone made a post on Reddit, on the Life Pro Tips sub about mental health that got a lot of attention and a lot of bitching from redditards.
Of course our resident genius crazies there started giving each other advice, which was mostly just "get hopped on pills", then moaning about how pills are not free because evil capitalist Murica.
The kind of cult shit they pushed on each other was insane. There were people who bragged about the pills making them so drained and zombie they had to quit their jobs, but they MUST KEEP TAKING. They could work while so very mentally ill, so the drugs made them less functional as humans, but they will keep doing it.
Someone also said he/she doesn't feel like the same person anymore, like they are nor even alive, etc. but the others kept yelling at them about how they just need to keep taking it because it will work. Or to take more pills to make it better.
I also wonder if said people were ever sick enough to really need medication. Some issues do. At a party way back I met some girl who was legit hearing voices without pills.
But the typical redditor "so sad, feel so bad" assholes who refuse to do things like go on a walk and eat some proper food are just lazy. That also made them bitch, btw, people giving simple advice (go outside, cook a nice meal and eat it, do something creative, etc.). They are just too depressed to do it and it's harrrrrd, so they give up and do drugs.
I specifically told one guy that every habit is hard at first and how you just need to push through, like with everything. Are we all so sick because working out hurts like shit at the beginning? Or learning a new language makes you suffer of every sentence at first? Should we all just give up and never do anything?
People have somehow become allergic to simple solutions. They don't believe simple solutions work, or they believe humans are "beyond" that, smarter than that.
Vitamin D supplements, or daily sunshine, could've stopped the plandemic dead a year and a half ago.
They forget that we are animals. Worse still, they forget how short our life spans are. The "deathbed regret" from this generation is going to be eye-watering.
I expect we'll see suicides skyrocket as the 20 and 30 somethings become 50 and 60 something and so not even be around for the whole "deathbed regret" thing. Nihilism is a hell of a drug
We do have some kind of scepticism of simple things, don't we? A somewhat related concept, I remember once my dad was moving houses and he didn't want to drag some perfectly good furniture with him, so he posted it for free on craigslist. Nobody would take it. So he posted it for $10, and it sold in a day. They just assumed something free must automatically be bad.
I learned that trick from Persuasion by Robert Cialdini.
It's like Cartman's first law of physics, anything that's fun costs at least $20.
But the difference is, those kids get it done to them, which is a crime in itself.
While the adults demand it. They WANT to get drugs, they convince each other to want it. They celebrate and advertise it to each other.
Fake, and also gay.
You can't help someone that does not wish to be helped, once they are in that state of mind I believe they sort of need to crash without taking themselves out in order to "reset" their state and then can start working on improving or better them self cause once you are in the vortex you are quite blind.
Overthinking, over-analyzing, separates the body from the mind.
Only God and nutrition can help. Forgiveness is the best healer. I was there myself and had to learn this the hard way too.
I've always found antidepressants did jack shit for me. Occasional weed did a better job at balancing me out at my most anxious. All anti-depressants did for me was heighten both sensations...I was either hyper-enthused or manically-down. Depression is something I've wrestled with my whole adult life. Truth is I overthink too much and listen to that voice inside too much. At my worst, I believe that voice is telling me the truth...that I am nothing and I have nothing to offer.
Although lately I've been trying to change my lifestyle. I'm four months free of soft drink and have noticed some improvement both mentally and health-wise. I'm back to writing again. Back to not caring what that voice has to say as much. Cleansing myself of social media has also helped. I still have my FB and Insta but I refuse to look at them as much anymore. Why spend life comparing myself to other assholes showing off how great they have it?
My wife watches TV constantly, so it’s always assaulting my senses even though I’m never actively watching it. It’s always somewhere on the periphery of my consciousness, and I can’t let a single bit of subversion go by without commentary, much to my wife’s chagrin. I’m constantly ripped away from whatever I’m trying to concentrate on, since I hate the idea of her just passively absorbing and internalizing this constant stream of bullshit.
It’s not just the commercials though. It’s almost every bit of media. The same undercurrents have polluted nearly every tv show and movie, making them unwatchable. It’s the news. It’s even recently made documentaries, where ideology seems to trump history, reality or truth.
I think I’m done listening to her pleas to not cancel cable. It’s not “reducing stress” or “keeping her sane,” it’s actively doing the opposite. It’s just doing it slowly and subversively.
Protect your family from the poison.
Get her a library card and a gym membership.
Grow a pair and tell her to cut that shit off.
Throw it in the trash. She will be decombobulated for a while but after the detox she'll feel much better.
My gf watches Colbert and trash like that. She likes to fawn over celebrities sometimes. Lame, but it's not the end of the world.
In the 90's, I was told how Soviet TV was just constant propaganda from the party.
In the 2000's, I was told how Chinese TV was just constant propaganda from the party.
In the 2010's, I slowly came to the realization that the west did the exact same thing, except it was not the government who orchestrated it, but handful of multinational corporations pupeteered by the same groups of multi-billionaire investors.
I notice this when I've visited family or something. Even when I do watch TV it's usually more of I'm doing something else and totally ignore the commercials. If you watch them after not seeing a while it's so easy to pick out the propaganda, mainly all of it.
I quit watching local news in the morning earlier this year for same reason. I used to put on while I was getting up because it was usually just weather and some local stuff, but it had become nothing but Covid and January 6 "insurrection" talk
Local news is often the worst. I'm not sure why. In the 80s and earlier (later for the Midwest) locals had their own unique style and editorial policy. They'd often preempt the national TV with their own funky programming, and they had laid-back rural American culture vibes going on, not just acting like people in "the big city".
Now they all just copy whatever ABC/CBS/NBC/Reuters/AP are saying, and then apply some "<Local City> is the Best City!" propaganda template on top if it. If you visit different cities you see it's exactly the same formula with the names changed. Like that stupid "This city is my city!" song on FM radio. (the TV stations were even using that for a while)
And they all obsess over liberal causes, COVID, fake uniparty politics, sportsball, the national crisis of the day, and basically whatever Globohomo tells people to care about. I was actually surprised when a few stations talked about the contents of Hillary's emails and Pizzagate with some seriousness. (but then eventually moving on to "forget about all that, what about that Russian hacking!")
"No one mistakes you repeating bits of trivia from the scripted morning news program as 'being informed' or 'seeming smart.' Everyone you know thinks it's lame. Just give it up. If you still feel the need to play this game with your acquaintances, then buy a book and read it."
Now you know how I feel. Feels like everything is feminist anti-male propaganda in some way.
NOTHER SCORCHER :)
Even where it's not anti-male propaganda, it's mainly stuff that women and feminized men are interested in.
My wife and I subscribe to a few streaming services at the ad-supported rates and I hear you there. While the WWF hasn't been hitting up the services we watch, I think I know the exact ad you're talking about for the anti-tardive dyskinesia drug. That one blew my mind, because it was like "Hey, we know that drug you're taking to keep you from killing yourself and others is giving you hella nervous tics, so try taking our stuff that'll mess with your mind chemistry even more!" Unbelievable.
Another one we saw on regular rotation for a couple weeks was for a drug that was supposed to lessen the chances of transmission of HIV. Apparently abstinence and barriers aren't enough for the people that managed to get AIDS, now they have a drug that can make it so they can bareback it with their partner - but still have a chance of transmission. The real kicker for that one was that during the obligatory warnings section, they literally said something about not being fully tested in "people assigned female at birth". They refused to say "women", due to wokeness bullshit.
We've also been getting state propaganda regarding ZOMG GET INJECTED TO PROTECT THE KIDS AT CHRISTMAS, which garnered an eyeroll from both me and my wife. She's usually fairly apolitical (albeit left-leaning on some topics), but she's started noticing that pretty much every ad for anything either has interracial couples, or gay and lesbian couples with adopted kids. When someone who hasn't been following the descent into wokeness starts noticing things, you know it's getting bad.
The HIV drug is so ridiculous. Like these people are such out of control fuckbeasts they can't even control themselves when it comes to a serious illness that will kill you in a miserable way. But they are just like you and I.
That's like this obeast youtuber I follow for the lulz. She got uterine cancer and had to have all her junk unpacked and she can't fit into certain diagnostic machines, but that still did not scare her straight and she is still stuffing her face like that.
haven't watched in a decade, turned on the tv in a hotel and saw an ad for anal lube for gay butt sex. On fucking TV. Couldn't believe it.
We get gay dating ads on our Comcast cable on a bunch of channels after midnight I noticed a couple of years ago.
I've been outside of the TV world for decades, it's mostly just a backround noise annoyance. I also hate the way it has crept into every public and private space.
Tardive dyskinesia is a really fucked up illness caused by the brain being overloaded with fake signals from all the drugs.
You don't treat it with more drugs.
You treat it by pulling the patient off of the mind altering drugs and it will clear up, mostly, over the course of 2-3 YEARS.
The drug companies all know the full truth about this shit and have known since at least the 90s when they doped kids on amphetamines en masse and then brought them back down with downers.
I hate the involuntary face movements I got from taking pharmaceuticals, the bastards knew up to 30% of those who took that pill develop it. Tardive dyskinesia.
I take high doses of vitamin B6 to control it, and never will take another pharmaceutical again.
It's a bunch of kabbalists (worship a god called Ein Sof) who see us as cattle to be abused as they wish with their pharmakeia and this entire Covid hoax is part of their final "great work" in subduing the nations.
They are going to bring out a false messiah called "Yeshua" claiming it's Jesus come to rebuild the third temple in Jerusalem claiming to bring world peace uniting all Abrahamic religions, and a lot of people are going to be deceived. They are saying "Edom" are the false Christians who are against Zion and must be beheaded.
Just be careful if you see a bunch of rabbi's saying they have accepted Jesus, this is likely the "great falling away" where many fall into the system of kabbalah/third temple, as many also into neo-platonic ideas might start seeing visions thinking this is the right path, heading back into the ONE. It's all hermetic-kabbalism (as above, so below), from ancient Mesopotamia, and it all came from Lucifer, the bringer of illumination (false light).
Seek the real Jesus in the Bible, there is no other path.
It really sounds like you actually NEED those meds, dude.
Yeah. I haven't had a TV in about 5 years or so. I watch broadcast TV about once every 4-5 months. It's all nothing but Progressive Death Cult programming and conditioning, non-stop, no rest, no breaks, just constant beating of the progressive drum until you are deaf and stupefied.
Ha ha, with that line break I thought you were going to say Progressive Insurance. But yeah.
Getting beyond the politics, "diversity", and torrent of consumption-driven advertisement, I can't stand how nearly every single TV show falls into two categories:
"Reality" TV: Talking heads, 'reaction shots', careful editing to build tension/drama.
Drama shows: people whisper in dark rooms where nobody turns on the damn lights. Bonus points if it's a police station, school, or other government building that you know should be bathed in harsh fluorescent lighting.
Seriously, it's all the same. Even History channel is nothing but reality TV grafted onto "Ghost hunting" and bad CGI of aliens. I only know this because my in-laws leave the TV on constantly in their house.
I've also been removed from pretty much all of that for a while and it's jarring when you get hit with it. Even turning on Netflix now - it's impossible to unsee the CONSTANT barrage of PC bullshit. Every single show has strong feminist, racial equality, etc undertones. I've noticed it most more recently. There's plenty of Netflix shows that I watched and enjoyed in the past that were completely inundated with the nonsense in their newer seasons. It's honestly disgusting.
"express no disgust" - it's a boiling frog effect. They've been escalating degeneracy and anti white/anti male hatred slowly for decades. If you would take people from 2000s and show them TV today - they would all be outraged. But if you condition them, slowly and carefully over long period of time - then they wont see anything wrong. The only question is I really don't know why they are doing these - this always leads to civilizational collapse.
I never understand TV people; why do they watch it?
I suppose they were raised with it on and it feels wrong to them to not have it playing. I wonder if some people even have association between the TV not being on and bad things happening, like serious talk or other family problems, so they need the TV on in order to assure them everything is okay in the house.
No kidding - When I visit my parents for dinner on the weekends my Dad (as is lifelong tradition) invariably turns on the local network news followed by the network's news show to "stay informed" and it's currently NBC. (It hasn't always been NBC news - just whatever commentator appealed to him the most over the years)
Just watching them is jawdropping. The sheer amount of intentional disinformation and propaganda is jawdropping and yet my dad will happily parrot it, thinking himself up to date - even though he'll fall back on his own personal knowledge "I don't see what they're going to solve with all this rioting" he'll state his support for "big brother"
It's disturbing.
I get some ads still through YouTube so I get glimpses of the culture war though - like Star Wars only white men with english accents are the bad guys. Really liked getting the, literally, pro-communism ad on a recent Razorfist video. Haven't been able to replicate that one yet though...
I was doing some radio stuff a few months ago and (briefly) had to test something most easily tested by tuning into the local NPR station. All they talked about was "systems of oppression" and how Whites needed to atone for them.
If that's what people listen to all the time no wonder they need the anti-depressants.
NPR has become absolute Pravda. And I used to love it too, Click & Clack the Tappit Brothers, Prairie Home Companion, nothing like it left on the air now.
Saw this on my trip to see family for Thanksgiving too. After seeing how awful tv is today I am very, very happy my tv watching consists entirely of DVDs of 1950s-1960s shows and whatever stuff I watched growing up. But now I'm having a tangential problem in that I'll see something and it won't be "woke" but here I am thinking "wtf my mom let me watch this shit?!" I'm not complaining but man it's wild what they got away with in the 1990s.
Watching modern television with commercials is probably the ultimate black pill. There’s really no denying that we’ve lost.
get plex on your laptop and build a media library or make friends with a nerd who already did
laptop screens are good enough for killing hotel time but if you carry and hdmi cable you might be able to plug into the room tv
in any case podcasts off your phone with your eyes closed >>> commercial television
I get HULU from a family member, with ads. The ads are obnoxious. HIV pill commercials with interracial gay dudes kissing, dating app commercials with everyone wearing masks (also usually interracial, gay, or both), "empowering" black women's shampoo commercials. I usually watch it on my phone with headphones in, so I just take my headphones off and look away during the propaganda ads.
I got rid of my TV more than a decade ago. Probably why I'm wide awake now, where I was sound asleep back then. The only thing I vaguely watch these days are F1 races, and the propaganda there makes me gag.
Now try the news, any network, I have been over relatives house and you can pick out the buzzwords and key phrases they have been told to drill over and over, its REALLY weird. Feels trippy for lack of a better term
Amen brotha.
I love TV shows and movies but cannot watch any commercials they are the worst. And lately most - not all but a vast majority - of TV shows and movies are terrible too. I suggest going to bitchute and there are a few channels there that post tons of stuff from the 50s even to 2000s and they are all based normal stuff. The older content is really good. No commercials at all is a big plus.
Every commercial must have at least one black person in it. If they want to market to black people fine; be my guest. Somehow I doubt over 50% black is doing them much good. As with a lot of things, it's Asians that really get screwed; they're never on TV. Plenty of them living the dream in based multi-generational families, tho, so screw TV it aint' all bad.
