Are we brainwashed?

[ekoice]

I look around and see people no longer have goals.
We are perfect consumers. And I can't help thinking that over time, we have been "gently" pushed in this direction.
No more goals, no ideas, ideology, morals or principles. Just having the latest iWhatever, fast car and sleep with plenty of women. Like a new special breed of zombies.
In the past people fought and gave their life for freedom. And now I think we are less free then before. It's just that we are persuaded otherwise. Like in ancient Rome - bread and circus.

Yes,we are caught under consumerism.We are always tempted to buy new products whether it is necessary for us or not.When iphone 5 is enough for us,we get temptation to buy iphone 6 and then to iphone 7.Its an endless journey.At last,our pockets will be empty and the company owners with filled pockets.

In the past, 5000 or 10 000 years ago, people didn't know much about world, natural laws etc.
Even at that time so called ''wizards or priests'' manipulated and brainwashed them.
Later, kings and his servants often manipulated people and today politicians and media.
We can't know everything, what is going on in the world.
So, we have no choice but to listen media or politicians.
Can we trust them?
When we see how many times they lied to us, I don't think so.
When something important happen, in my opinion, it's the best try to collect info from many different sources, and based on this find out what really happen.
Use your own brain and common sense.

People are no longer care about their civil liberties, they care about their standard of life. The modern world has outgrown notions like freedom. They are content to follow. The threat remains while free will exists.
© Script from the assassins Creed movie
 We've been the prisoner of the worldy ideas created by humans. Some of us resist and at the same time dying in that resistance. The wrongs of the world are clear yet people just follow like a dog because of the laws created by humans.
Are we brainwashed?
We're more than just brainwashed. We're molded like iron from the water and 🔥 making us a robot of society.

It is the price for our longing towards development. When development enters the screen our life becomes more convenient and that convenience limits our thinking since almost everything is instant. That is why people are no longer thinking critically but becomes totally dependent to technology. People have become equipped with knowledge but they become idiots.

It is of ignorance that we let ourselves be brainwashed. Brainwashing appear in a lot of forms that stray us from our principles, morals, righteousness, and etc. It is important to nurture ourselves from what is right and wrong; and educate ourselves so that we can't just be carried freely in the direction that the flow wants to take or to be. We have our own mind, heart, and will so we must use it and not let it rust and be wasted.

I really like the way you have compared modern days with ancient Rome times, the only thing that citizens wanted was food and entertainment.

As you said, we are perfect consumers.
We live and die in a race for money, which is pretty much meaningless, the greed runs the world.

Moreover, people have chosen to give up their own privacy and "freedom" in the name of "safety".
A very good example is US, and patriot act.
They can spy literally anyone without any special permissions, ask me why?
Because people want to lose their freedom and privacy, for more surveillance, even more police and this fake feeling of being safe in your own country.

Be with yourself, do what makes you happy so you wont be full of regrets. Life is not about struggling to death to finish goals, sometimes you need to sit back and relax for a while.

Yes like many on here.

We are brain washed so the government can take public money away ..
They sell public companies to the rich elite so they can use us as slaves ..


Getting on a BUS  cost 4p to go 1 stop in 1978  TODAY getting on a bus 1 stop £2.20 to go 1 stop..

So who ever say we are about consuming  ..

You will have to be a MILLIONAIRE just to live like we lived on the social security in the not so near
future..

Council home will cost 1 million 20 years time ..some in London already do..


Has wages gone up to compensate for the rises ..ANSWER NO..

So we are even more of a slave than we was in 1970s..

I DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THE  USA..   No chance they don't give a hoot for there people..

In America no money DIE..Oh not unless your good at asking for donations..

ANY DONATIONS  ..ANY DONATIONS.<Basically begging ..

So it's ok to beg but no socialism what so ever ..Even though they get a pension < SOCIALISM..

See how the AMERICANS are brain washed ..

The government as made the people hate SOCIALISM 

Hate socialism means   LETS not give the people any of there TAXES back for new roads
new homes schools..

No it's all about brain washing the people to rob our taxes..
And use us as slaves for the elite ..

Remember the bus 4p now £2.20 1 stop.. .. 

IT'S NOT ABOUT CONSUMING ..Its about not being able to consume ..

We got told by MAGGIE THATCHER <VOMIT..That if we privatised our public companies that the competition would drive prices down..

We got BRIAN WASHED ..The big companies buy all the little guys out and charge us what they want
they charge us way over the odds..

No competition at all just big companies eating the little guy up..

And i will say the AMERICAN people are the worst brain washed people in the western nations..

The government robs the AMERICAN people like no other ..BRAINS WASHED YANKS..

They make them poor except the few and the poor end up doing this..

Wow, " fast car and sleep with plenty of women", so many people have fast cars and sleep with plenty of women these days? Well...as to women it s probbly difficult to judge, but definitely I see it from 1 in 10 to 1 in 100 fast cars among ordinary cars on the street. So it seems like not everybody having fast cars.

We are being brainwashed every single day with large corporations pushing advertisments to us making us to wanna buy their stuffs. Also from the psychology point of view we dont exactly have too much power over it anyways.

It seems to me that if I don't want something as vexing for any advertising. People make their own choices. It is easy to blame my mistakes on others.

They put less salt and sugar in a food product and charge us more  < brainwashed   

A bar of chocolate goes smaller

[omonuyak]

The elites and politicians has used the media especially the social media to brainwashing humanity. Our Academic system also do not help matters. The Educational materials teach us to work for people company and no dreams and thinking of having our own. Social media as tools to work of our mind by allowing sinful people to post worldly thing to distract people from using their mind for personal advancement.

[eXpl0sive]

Well, it didn’t just happen. It was designed.

Shortly after the World War 2, these guys were figuring out how to ramp up the [U.S.] economy.
Retailing analyst Victor Lebow articulated the solution that has become the norm for the whole system.
He said: “Our enormously productive economy . . . demands that we make consumption our way of
life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our
ego satisfaction, in consumption . . . we need things consumed, burned up, replaced and discarded at
an ever-accelerating rate.”

Consumerism 101


On point. All corporate sponsored media is intended to deceive you in a small way. Be that buying a product or service, or voting for something; they only spent time and money crafting said message because they want something from you. Usually, your time, money, or both.

The world is ruled by rhetoric. We are much less sensitive to it as humans now; we have distracted ourselves so long we forgot how to pay attention to our surroundings, stay aware. We have been too safe. And so, we have relinquished some of the drive to discover, to question. That has been replaced by consensus. If enough people say something is a way, then that's just gotta be the way it is, no?

And all this, after communication technology advances to its pinnacle. Go figure.

Yes, but many people learn to think on their own and decide what they really need to buy and what not. Children need to learn from the very childhood to think and develop their own thinking, so that advertising can not brainwash them.

The sad truth is kids these days before they grow up is being molded like robot and being brainwashed through the process, and the dangerous part is that the people who are teaching the kids kniws that what they are teaching is right because that's what the majority say or do. We are not being brainwashed everyday, we are mailed in beliefs since we were young and it's up to us to escape.

our generation has been brainwashed  and I do believe  the social media, redio and TV are the tools the elite are using against this generation. people are no longer thinking of ideology and destiny again like our father but now of women, porn, car and thing of this world.

Carry on, carry on. Uuhhm I think if we want to hear about more details how brainwashed we are, there is a song that best describe this:

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma

Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK

But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah

Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

It just ain't the same, old ways have changed
New days are strange, is the world insane?
If love and peace are so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong?

Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone

So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover

The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema

Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive 'til love is found
Now ask yourself

Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?

Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?

Sing with me y'all:
One world, one world (We only got)
One world, one world (That's all we got)
One world, one world
And something's wrong with it (Yeah)
Something's wrong with it (Yeah)
Something's wrong with the wo-wo-world, yeah
We only got
(One world, one world)
That's all we got
(One world, one world)

Man always lives in society, therefore he always follows the rules of this society. Brainwashing can be called everything - and study in school and vostipatnie and patriotism. Man will always live as society tells him

This generation is more and more educated with social media platform

but yet we are brainwashed with the facts
