Cultural Propaganda

For the last few months we have been engaged in cultural propaganda. Our current society is what allows for cultural propaganda to be spewed by anyone who can type or even simply post a link on their social networking page. This cultural propaganda, even though some may considered it accurate, is becoming more destructive compared to being beneficial for our society as a whole.

Terms like racist, race-baiter, and words that can be used in different contexts have been turned into talking points. Talking points that are false and misleading. The use of a word is not the issue. The true issue is the cultural propaganda that is tossed like pamphlets from a drone when the sun rises. The cultural propaganda is not just about race, but gender, social class, religious views, and political stance.

It is important for the public to understand the rhetorical devices that are being used that allow cultural propaganda and corporate agendas that have been developed and deployed by those in power.

Young Black Americans are forced to see images of themselves on television and the internet in a way that is not positive. But this is no different for White Americans. Recent television programing is not created to challenge our thoughts- But rather reinforce our thoughts.

As we engage in cultural propaganda and support drilling, or oppose drilling, believe racism is real, or believe that it is fake we are engaged in cultural propaganda. Their agenda. An agenda that leads to more hate and separation than is healthy for a society that is supposed to be about freedom. That freedom is being crushed, stolen, and only for the elite.

Cultural propaganda has allowed for critical thinking to become something that is almost obsolete- like common sense. While we debate if sexting is real, or is global warming real, we fail to realize that we are being destroyed. We obey the lies, we follow the trends, we are told how we should act, how we should talk, and who we should worship with.

Cultural propaganda has allowed for poor people to believe that they are Republicans, and poor people to believe that Democrats want to change their lot in life. But these false assumptions and false allegiances have destroyed the fabric of our cultural.  

Another example of this in when those that do not belong, support, or understand said community believe that they can make assumptions about that community. They find views and positions that fit their already forced fed moral fabric that has either been engrained by family or often shaped by lack of experience.

Men deciding what is right for women, whites deciding what is right for blacks, and a government telling us what freedom is and how much freedom or privacy we should have are all elements of this cultural war.

This cultural war includes, incomes, race, beliefs and other interest. It would not be surprising if those that look at our current society in the future may equate our society to those that believed in human sacrifice. For what is a war? Nothing more than human sacrifices for beliefs structures that truly should not exist. We ship our children off to war, in some cases these children just want a source of income to provide for their family, or receive funds to attend college. There are some that follow family traditions.

Our recent wars cannot and should not be compared to the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. But they should be viewed as wars for resources and influence. A cultural war supported by cultural propaganda.

While our government conducts these wars for resources and control, they also conduct in the destruction of our freedom and liberties. These liberties are often intertwined and accompanied by cultural agendas with no regard to the influence that they will have on those that stand on the other side of the issue, or demand change or simply attention in order for change.

Of course there are those that will support the State, and believe whatever the State tells them. They will argue that the intellectual is being indoctrinated into a liberal way of thinking, or that their value structure is the only structure that should remain on this soil.

We cannot compare the democrats or republicans of today of those in the past. We cannot assume that the white culture or the black culture can be encompassed into one way of thinking. But should keep in mind that statistics are skewed to fit an agenda. Statistics are often the most damaging cultural agenda that is produced by man. They do not include all of the factors, but break the human experience down into mere numbers. Numbers can never explain the human experience, but only support the cultural propaganda.

There will be some that discredit this concept, or this frame of mind. But the cultural propaganda is here. It has been put in place by our government, the corporations, and our moral beliefs that are often illegitimate and hypocritical. 

Try to escape the cultural propaganda, the denial of freedom, and understand that no matter what, we are born with a set of rights. A right to be free as long as our actions do not cause harm to others. Our thoughts are starting to become crimes, our conversations and emails stored, whistle blowers are evil doers, and the cultural propaganda is blowing across our land.

Let us revolt with our minds, and buying power. Let us seek true knowledge and true understanding in order to make a change. Violence in some cases has been necessary but violence is not the key to the type of revolution that is needed. Freedom cannot become a reality if we are engaged in a political and cultural war of propaganda.       

  

Of course we have made strides towards some sort of imaginary equality, but we except this imaginary equality and allow for the cultural propaganda to feed into our thoughts and actions or inaction.  Obey at your own demise.      

My American Experience

I have lived in many places in this United States of Crazies. I was trapped with Texas for seven years. The dude confused the hell out of me. I understood that he held his pants up with the black book, but boy did he live a sinful life. He always had to be told to clean up his room. “Don’t mess with Texas”- of course most people think that is because he is such a badass, but it is exactly the opposite. 

There is nothing like watching a redneck (they like that title), spitting his chew out the window while you are all waiting in the extreme heat for the light to change. Of course everything is cheap- who would pay top dollar to enjoy the flames of hell- would you?

Cockroaches are often referred to as “water bugs”.  June bugs fly directly into the light over and over again and they deny evolution? But I did enjoy stepping on these almost prehistoric creatures- squash and scrape that was my routine. Spiders were often bigger than most birds, and the fire ants that came from the banana boats really needed to be nuked.  I am sure that Texas will return, they have that fighter’s spirit out there- I give them that.

Not everything in Texas was, or is, bad. I did enjoy their style of BBQ. There is nothing like watching a high school football game under the lights, of course, right next to a natural gas rig that is spewing out toxic fumes making everyone in the town sick.  But they are often too drunk to realize that the EPA and the Railroad Commission could care less if they are slowly dying. I watched one of the most beautiful buildings for gladiators ever created being built as they snatched the land from people that didn’t want to move but were handed some nickels and dimes and told to find a new home. But I did get to BOOOOOOOOOOO Bush with his “leave every child behind” philosophies.

When they say Texas is a whole different country- they really mean it. If you would like to lease land, feed deer tiny bits of most likely fake corn, then sit in a stand and kill Bambi- that is the place for you. If you would like to enter a Church, praise God while you look at a Confederate flag on the arm of a group of so-called children of God, then that is the place for you. If being racially profiled is your gig- he is waiting for you.

I also lived in Arizona for a few years. There is nothing like living in a fucking oven surrounding by the most beautiful rock formations ever. I was a college student along with my girlfriend (now wife). This was the first time that my future wife lived outside of California. She was surprised by the amount of white people that she saw (she is white). She also thought it was odd that dressing up like you were going to the club was not necessary when only going shopping- darn Californians.

We were both chased by some Latinos- who must have thought some sort of revolution was taking place and I was on the wrong side. (No, really- physically chased.)  We met a lesbian couple that seemed to hate white people… unless they needed some sugar or a ride somewhere. The mall seemed to be the best place to get into a fight, along with a bar filled with Native Americans that escaped the Reservations and wanted to kidnap my girlfriend and sell me back to my masters or skin me.   I couldn’t figure it out- but we got out of there.

I still return to Arizona at times. I have a lot of friends that still live there. They have a nice stadium, the heat is hotter than anything I have ever been in, and the women still wear no clothes. They don’t care if they are size 2 or 80- they are going to wear a bikini and you will see it all. Personally I believe that Arizona is nothing more than a suburb of LA. If you can’t afford Cali- Arizona will welcome you, along with some other individuals hiding from something or someone.

I also lived in Oregon- twice. I really enjoyed that place. It was a mixture of California and living in a rain forest. I would often pray for the sun, but it would never show up long enough. He would poke through the clouds tease you and then allow for the clouds to continue to piss on you again.

I had a great time, being chased by cowboys- (things always like chasing me- or I like running when I calculate the odds are not in my favor). Drugs could be found everywhere, no one was from Oregon but the old people, and the young people that lived there seemed to have more experience with drugs than any kid in the inner city. The place was beautiful, but I had to escape the rain. I could not take it anymore. Plus all of the Californians that I didn’t like were all moving there.

Why am I telling you all of these random experiences that I have had in different states? Because from my experience I can understand this disconnect and division in our country- (back to politics). 

Most people do not leave their state or even their hometown for that matter. The bubbles that we live in protect us from reality. The reality that all of our experiences are different is something that is hard for some to even comprehend. Of course Texas has a huge respect and admiration for guns and saving babies before they are born, but turning around and killing them when they are adults. Either by natural gas wells, or the prison system. Arizona is nothing but a gun range in the middle of the desert that is really a sibling of Los Angeles. Oregon is beautiful, the best place to read a book, climb a mountain, and drink coffee- all at the same time.

But returning to my bubble of California had to be one of the best choices that I have made. I would rather raise my children in a state that is open minded, falling into the ocean, too dumb to figure out that they need high-speed rail, the smell of reefer everywhere, the land often shakes but at least my stuff in Texas will not end up in Oklahoma, religion seems optional, like clothes on any day in the city, everything is expensive, new stadium is on its way, and if you think it- they will outsource to get it built.

I love the United States, but I hate the brainwashing and manipulation of the citizens. All of our bubbles keep us safe- but they do pop, and when they do- RUN, sure you might not find a place that is like the one you left. They all have good and bad, enjoy the good, and unfriend the bad. I have only lived in four states, I wish I could have lived in more. But my experiences have offered me a better insight on why the United States has been simplified to coloring by numbers, either red or blue- well I’m coloring with green- hey that’s my crayon.
