I do not know any exact numbers, but I guess that over 90% of the population regularly watch television today. Why is this important? Perhaps because more than 90% of people spend more time with television than with conversations or other activities.
What falls on you because if you watch TV, apart from the fact that most of half an hour later forgotten has, since the same thin soup is served with various euphemisms?
I notice that on most channels only one topic dominated the front or profound: fear. Naked fear. Anxiety in the context of violence, terror, war, crime, murder and mayhem around the Clock. Then: violence as the promise of happiness, as a solution model to channel the fear. In the form of super heroes, heroic individualists, sexy revenge angels, high-tech Weltretterrn with dream cars
fear, etc. in the context of existence, job loss, illness and death, environmental and global crisis, poverty and the promise of happiness Super Star, Super Model, Super Handyman, Super Talent, Super Wok racing and what it so everything else is of essential human capabilities. Not to mention the mobile task force of the great television channels, which provide for the cleanup of the causes of fear, of the debt advice to family therapy. Broadcasters would be so labor-and quotenlos, there was all these dramas and tragedies of everyday life do not. Therefore they must be held regularly on the boil, the fear must be as natural as the air we breathe. If it is, but long ago. Thank rate television.
The whole thing seems like a brainwashing, human constantly exposed to are not familiar with the power button. Brainwashed without principals, because I do not so much a conspiracy as a mass psychological reaction pattern that is decisively shaped by the mass media and multiplied.
It is important to ask a simple question: What makes this Angstendemie, this mass constant stream of people with anxiety issues?
My answer: It potentiates anxiety, promotes idealization of and readiness for violence, creates constant stress and restlessness. Above all, it makes neither satisfied nor happy, it does not produce positive, life-affirming feelings of Vitality to mention. Because this must be today the shopping Reserved everything, at least for a few minutes after the next purchase. Still lucky, 30-second chance, but please unremarkable. No singing, no dancing in public. Such a thing and that kind of happy people you only see commercials and Hollywood films, not in the streets of our reality.
Oh, incidentally, that demagogues like Gröfaz knew too well: If you hold the masses in permanent fear, then they can be easily lead. Because then they do not think, but react like lemmings, which can easily lead you into the abyss.
