"Poverty" programs have destroyed the black family and condemned generations of black children to being raised by foolish, unwed teenage mothers with the federal government as a stand in for the missing fathers.
FRiend, you’ve used “core” and “root” in your posts, and it describes your mind...looking for basic ‘cause’, basic truth...that thing which does not change. I also look this way at things to try to understand them, so perhaps you’ll understand my thinking.
The real core is evil. Satan, if you’re inclined that way. I am. Nevertheless, evil always attempts to ‘hide’. Take the subject of this thread...
We are basically talking about ‘advertising’. At its ‘root’ (like that word!) advertising depends on DENIAL. Denial that it works.
Take a clipboard and do a street survey. The vast majority of people, when asked; “Does advertising work?” will possibly give a nod to fast food munchies once in awhile, but will say; “Heck NO!” “I mute those suckers, get a beer, etc.” Notice we’re talking about the blatherings of a lame-brain on this very thread, and what societal effect her pronouncements have had. Would any one admit to being influenced by the shriveled-up pie holes of angry feminists?
(I know, FReepers are ‘different’ but...why talk about it, if it DIDN’T have effect?)
The programs, the shows, the movies...they’re ALSO one big commercial. Think about that. Men are dimbulb, stupid scumbags...hahahaha
In ‘real life’, what do you observe with ppl who live in denial?
Craziness. Neuroses. Psychopathy. (and a host of other corroding behaviors and sentiments). Drama.
Now combine the stroke of a gubmint pen, FDR, LBJ, take your pick!...with hidden advertisers and their culturallly-memed ‘products’ and whaddya got?
Toxic soup is a FINE answer Friend.
I’d laugh a cackle if it weren’t so crazy sad. They got what they wanted, and they’re STILL pissed off. Crazy, right? Earth IS the insane asylum of the universe.
Too bad we’re not running spaceships to planet Galt.
