Propaganda. There it is. It began as an art form in the 20th Century making use of new media to manipulate opinion, at first it was mostly about influencing purchases but very quickly it became arguably the single greatest tool for controlling the masses. Even when you’re consciously aware that you’re being misled, the efforts have a pernicious and profound effect on your psyche. You think, well heck, sure Netflix is far left and a vehicle for Dem messaging, but I’m just getting it for Stranger Things and comedy. Guess what? You keep watching the psy ops of the enemy and even if you don’t break, you do get desensitized. You equivocate. “Well maybe teen suicide should be discouraged, of course I mean, but my wife and daughter love that 13 Reasons Why show.” “Sexualizing kids is horrible, but that controversial program is really about growing up and cultural friction.” Well the Obamas are probably important artistic voices that deserves that $50 million....

Guard what you watch. When you realize something is your enemy but continue to give your time and money to it?? I get that it’s tough and to be sure I still enjoy the music and some movies of politically left people just as they depend on the civilization built and maintained by conservatives. Not calling for 100% purity, just start considering who you’re paying to enter your homes and minds.
