The countries that do the most evil things , but are also the most politically open, have the most advanced propaganda machine. Like most of the western world.
If you live in some middle eastern tyranny, the government might do evil things, but the population doesnt have to be brainwashed because the king already has absolute power.
But if you live in the west where voting does have some minor influence on the government, then the government must spend your tax money against you, in order to condition and brainwash you into their agenda.
Thats a good point, and also the westen media has the global power by owning hollywood and international channels. Its obvious how many hollywood movies end with a happy end because the FBI, CIA or US army saves the story (This will give people the under conscious feeling that they are protectors of the world). This global westen media can decide what words like freedom, good, bad ect. means for the people.
I am sick of cop shows, if not for my fiancee, I would have thrown out the TV straight into the garbage bin. I only read the local newspaper which is reasonable, just to know what happened in the region.
I have thrown it out for over 10 years! The best easy thing you can consider to do for the whole family.
