I firmly believe social media intentionally makes people not open to alternative ideas of living or challenging the status quo.
Weak minded people follow trends like their live depends on them and never stray from them because they give them comfort.
Its almost like they try to intentionally make them soulless, making them all like the same things, having the same ideas, limiting them from really discovering themselves or doing something moderately difficult.
Now for the real conspiracy part: I believe this war on wokeness is artificial, because people started seeing that social media was actively pushing leftist ideas and threw the rightwing people a bone, making them believe that there are still people like them on the platform, making them not leave all together.
This also reached Elon, making him do a bold move to buy twitter, which was not taken into account.
This amplified with Trumps presidency, it slowly turned the tide into left-wing propoganda, to right-wing propoganda.
Social media is a push and pull between both sides because who rules social media rules a large majority of the worlds population.
There are more things wrong, but this is the major one.
A personal conspiracy theory of mine is that mass media, particularly hollywood, operates on a two level system, ie the message the average person will get and then the message the slightly smarter people will pick up on.
In particular after the whole covid debacle I've seen lots of people lament that they were taught to trust the government, media and medical industry. For the life I me I can't think of any major film where the main thrust was to trust these institutions, but I can think of lots films that provide a pessimistic critique of them. And I'll use a few Steven Spielberg films as an example ( a guy who totally never went to epsteins island btw)
- Jaws; a shark terrorizes a small tourist town, the local government tries to suppress the story to keep the summer season money flowing
- ET; an alien lands on Earth, the government tries to keep it a secret while conducting unethical medical experiments on the alien and attacking children.
- Jurassic Park; a billionaire funds dangerous bio-technology that can bring back extinct animals, not for the betterment of humanity but so he can run a theme park. Lots of cut corners and a bit of corporate espionage leads to a bunch of dead innocents.
- Munich; a spec-ops guy ends up a shattered man with PTSD, divorced, separated from his children and all his friends are dead. He gets a pat on the back from the government that used him. They can't give him any more money or help him in any way but would if they could (lol).
Now would the average person remember any of the above? Its not like these things were hidden, all of this stuff gets a decent amount of screen time and whats going on is very explicit. Yet, for some reason, this common message of corruption and malice in governments/companies/media just goes over the heads of most.
Is this part of some deliberate MKUltra programming targeting different messaging for different population groups? Or is this just how screenwriters and directors work, putting their own cynical world view into film and tv but doing it in such a way that the average person isn't put off it. Maybe the financiers of said films don't want the messaging to be too explicit. Could it be all three?
