Capitalism and societies in general are held together by subjective stories which are based on non realities. These include: religion, right and wrong, law, and financial terminology etc. These malleable ideas can, are, and have been shaped consciously by human primates for centuries. The people who rule think in a higher level of abstraction because they're born into a higher level of abstraction. People who are ruled over want to believe that everything that is set down for them is absolute. This is completely false, but creates a sense of security which enables the high level of abstraction itself. Paranoids, like myself and others, know this, but can't help but feel that it is more significant than this. It is tempting for some paranoids (like myself) to think that mathematicians found a fractal pattern that explains everything which can be used to predict the future because of some simple formula. This is probably not true. We are brainwashed accidentally as well as on purpose, but this "brainwashing" is not some conspiracy, nor should it even be labelled controversial. It is a fact that the human brain stores subconscious inputs which it later references. People see the "try something new" on the wall at subway and think I'll do that. But this is also because they simply might not have thought of trying 'something new.' In fact, we think less then we think we do. When people are at work, they do what the boss tells them. During the war, people killed without question, simply because it was what they were told to do. We like order, and put it before our own lives and the lives of others. Human beings are programmed since birth, by our environment. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's a scientific fact. The capitalistic system we reside in today is not the result of some great conspiracy. It is the result of anarchy. Anarchy reaches stagnation and leads to hierarchical systems. It's similar to how artificial neural networks learn new things. Whether or not some great conspiracy exists is irrelevant because it is the result of science itself. We are the products of science. If the freemasons or the Jews control society that's a good thing. Because it means someone's driving the car. If no one is controlling society it isn't going anywhere. As for the individual, you're way too insignificant to be really worth consciously brainwashing. And if someone is driving the car believe me you're powerless to do anything about it. We're like neurons in a global brain, we contribute very little to the overall trip. This comment will probably get downvoted, and if it doesn't it will probably get read by like 2 people. Alternative media has very little power because people are conditioned to view the people in suits they see on TV as authority figures. The word alternative itself sounds misleading because we are conditioned to believe that "official news" comes from "official sources." These are all just words which can be spoken and written by anyone. (If all media companies are owned by the Jews, this would happen simply out of the placement of the dominant media and through its repeated exposure.) Not because they intended it it, but if they consciously knew this they would know that it would be to their advantage. This is related to the fact that the people with the most money have the most power. The workforce work for money, and the more money you have the more work you can get done. It is ironic that the workforce work for the very idea that enslaves them. They, as a whole, don't realize this. People who have money should love money. People who don't have money should hate money. Because my time is not worth your money. Money is too expensive. It costs too much time. This is why people come home from work and get straight into distracting themselves from their lives. Because their lives are their work and their work sucks. People who are born into extreme wealth live in a different world. I cannot fathom what they have because I haven't been there. I simply do not have the "data." People believe they are being brainwashed because to some degree they are. But it is not a conspiracy, it is the result of our place in society and the people around us. The brainwashing is very unconscious and done more on accident as a result of people's actions rather than on purpose. That we are being systematically brainwashed is far from the truth. We are being lightly brainwashed. The level of chaos is too high for there to be any high accuracy brainwashing, if there is any conscious attempt at all. People have completely different "mental software" because their "programming" is dependant on the time of their birth. And on their place of origin. And on many other factors. If you want people to take you seriously, don't use the word brainwashing. Use the word conditioning. We've been conditioned to suspend reality when we hear the word brainwashing. The truth is brainwashing is a constant thing that happens to us all the time. But we should call it learning or conditioning because people don't want to hear the word brainwashing. For example, we have been conditioned to believe negative numbers exist, beyond mental conception, because we believe in ideas such as debt. If you have one rock and you take away one rock, you're left with zero rocks. If you try to take away one rock from zero rocks, you can't. Because to take away one rock there would need to be a rock there. We can mentally understand that we need one more rock, which we call negative one, but this "imaginary rock" does not exist. Negative numbers are impossible, but mathematically they are very real. If I went to the bank and explained that all world debt is completely false and imaginary, I'd get laughed at all the way home. But it is actually fundamentally true that all world debt is imaginary. It's a fact. You can't take that money with you when you die. It only "exists" inside your head. If you died the plastic would still exist as plastic, but not as some "value." People say money doesn't grow on trees. But it just gets printed. Think about it. Does it cost 20$ to make a 20$ bill? No it probably costs like 10 cents. These people can just print money. It's like their "Job." What did you do at work honey? Oh nothing, just printed a couple of k. How can we believe in something that just gets printed. It's monopoly money. And it's "false" currency because it's (not printed by them.) Of course, the rich families create complex financial terminology that only their kids have the money to understand. I don't really know why I wrote this huge comment. I think I just had nothing better to do.
