Corporate Capitalist USA is incredibly image conscious,being concerned with perception while discounting facts, rationality, etc. The lead up to Iraq was all perception control. The official history of the occupation is all perception control.<BR/><BR/>Americans, and I know some people aint gonna like this, really believe they are better than the rest of the world. This is how a good majority of the American folk supported attacking Iraq, believing our violence spreads civilization, democracy, Jesus, goodness..etc. etc. etc. <BR/><BR/>The public relations industry in the Shining City on the Hill has created a totalitarian mass society. All dominant media forms treat us as perpetual toothpaste and deodorant buyers. Politics, economics, social discourse, democracy is all sold through the lens of the clever marketer. They sell and spread fear, uncertainty, anxiety, taking advantage of peoples' subconscious processes. They hijack decency, integrity, freedom, democracy, and debase their meanings for their own ends. <BR/><BR/>The Republic turned Empire is in Trouble, and we all know it.<BR/><BR/>GandhisxmasJustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16518900545104206642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3470097808236648178.post-1846976032089472492007-07-22T12:59:00.000-07:002007-07-22T12:59:00.000-07:00We've passed through stupid to insane.
