This is exactly what broke me. Idgaf about the world anymore. Clear as day plans to fuck everything up, destroy the planet, economically genocide the poor. Nobody in power did shit about it and voters elected them anyways. No amount of being right matters when people refuse to see the obvious. The only way to get people to act, wisely or not, is to manipulate them into it and so here we are. The most propagandized, misinformed and manipulated population in human history.
Literally, manipulated into navigating life while being incapable of utilizing their own intelligence because anger shuts down parts of the brain and narrows focus.
Idk, p sure North Korea is more propagandized, misinformed, and manipulated.
Not to say shit isn’t bad here. But at least there is some resistance to it. Mamdani didn’t get elected because people are ok with just sleeping through it, after all.
Sure, it might be too little, too late. But we have at least a fighting chance still.
I would argue not, North Korea doesn’t produce the volume of messaging we do or deliver it as often or in so many spaces of our lives as we do. NK propaganda is state organized and pervasive but its got the sophistication of a previous age of mass media, closer to WW2. Our media landscape is an insanely powerful tool of manipulation.

They’re kept perpetually angry just because it keeps them from thinking clearly.
