Here is Kierkegaard on the media:
"On the whole the evil in the daily press consists in its being calculated to make, if possible, the passing moment a thousand or ten thousand times more inflated and important than it really is. But all moral elevation consists first and foremost in being weaned from the momentary."
Does this mean that to be moral one must transcend the momentary looking to both the past and the future for perspective and awareness…acts informed by both an historical and future perspective and not how shall we say
immediate gratification,
living in the moment
while the corporate beings
have become monsters
in your midst
plan to attack
(smaller government is the goal)
imagine a government controlled by corporations is the most profitable
who are benefitting immensely
(people)
and see nothing morally reprehensible
with the disparity between the rich and the poor
and in fact can justify with
evolutionary philosophy, religion, and most importantly in late stage capitalism with the assumed beliefs of capitalism internalized
to the degree the talented rise to the top
not the truth of
…
the billionaire CEO cannot be Ghandi and in fact
is not opposed to violence
The the reality TV shows
now tell you what your reality is
during next crisis…
says Naomi Klein…
as things get worse,
the shock treatment
gives you general amnesia
you believe it is normal
…
labor is grateful
hungry and cruelly
the powerful dominate
the working class worship
“celebrity” (royalty of old)
…
Marx was wrong…
the working class
would not be
an agency
…
idea
for if believed
an idea
is never wrong
the reality
of ones situation
in the particular
has nothing to do with
Angelina Jolie
…
the mainstream media
is selling an ideology
which is an abstraction
and those are alienating
abstraction that is
of consumerism
which is on
90% of the time
in shopping malls
to break the spell
travel and nature and love.
call it propaganda if you will
and you wish to forget the past…though some have argued to sleep at night the victims must remember while the perpetrators have to forget…
