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?
Fake, and also gay.
