This one made me chuckle. So true.
The psychology behind mass naivety and why people refuse to believe they live in a society of relentless propaganda and disinformation, and therefore why most people are victims of it, is explored in David Sedgwick's book BBC: Brainwashing Britain?
Are you familiar with that book? I read it with great fascination, surprising Amazon have it on audible actually. Sedgwick confirms what my suspicions are in that, after studying my own parents and my friends' parents who come from a certain self obsessed generation who were and are incapable of understanding the concept of community or country, people believe they are not being constantly lied to because that couldn't possibly happen in Britain, they tell themselves surely not.
It's that very cognitive position that in their own minds the unthinkable is unthinkable and therefore they convince themselves it's impossible that it's actually happening. There's no way it could happen in their minds.
This thinking is further reinforced particularly with that generation, given they are the war generation offspring, as their constant reference to disinformation and mass propaganda is the Nazi machine and the second world war. It's as though they convince themselves they would be able to identify propaganda if they came across it because they know what it looked like in WW2. They don't understand that propaganda takes many different forms.
That is the primary mental barrier which is shared by so many others which has to be broken down.
Cognitive dissonance it what they call it.
Whatever 'it' is just shuts their brains off because 'it' is too far outside their worldview for them to experience without suffering emotional trauma.
It's why folks don't leave battle zones, they just continue on like there is no risk to them at all.
They hide in basements and pretend reality isn't happening.
1984 called it doublethinc.
I call it the product of a long, well designed engineering of consent.
Propaganda has long been effective at mass mind control.
I'm inclined to go along with the very well planned mass engineering and manipulation of consent theory. Yes, propaganda is arguably the most powerful weapon in the entire arsenal.
The flashylight box control most of the people out there.
'The tv would have told me if that was true.'
Never once considering that people less moral than them control the programming.
Totally true, don't forget if it's not on the evening news then it's not happening.
That makes it all clear.
Thanks!

It will all work out if we get the right people into power.
