If television didn't exist, and a group of engineers and psychologists decided to design a highly effective system of corporate brainwashing, it would look exactly like television.
If you watch television shows and commercials, then your beliefs about the world are being managed, influenced and controlled by corporations and the oligarchs who own them.
Call your cable TV company immediately and cancel the cable television. You only need the internet connection. Please save yourselves.
Get ready to have serious difficulty conversing with normies. It's necessary, though. Television is pure evil.
Luis Robinson
At work, people sometimes start to tell me about some idiotic TV show they watch. I explain that I haven't watched TV in over 10 years. They never ask why.

Sports fanaticism is one of the most pathetic things about television. A great way to keep the sheeple occupied with meaningless drama and excitement. No different than the Roman coliseum.

You can't auto-deprogram until you stop watching television. It is the most important step you can take to break free from the matrix. Everything on television is designed by very smart people to manipulate you into doing dumb things that make the corporate owners even richer.
Christopher Bailey
Sorry, the internet's almost just as bad. Not quite but almost.
It's only websites like this that keep it from being so. The only websites people use anymore are Facebook Google Reddit tumblr, whatever.
You really believe the disinformation on Wikipedia (*ahem* pizza gate) isn't corrupted? It's just going to get worse my friend.
David Butler

David Cooper
After about a year of not watching television, you're mind will have rewired itself and you will come to loath television. Even the sound of TV will fill you with disgust. Please break free. You must go cold turkey. You must begin auto-deprogramming your mind as soon as possible.
Evan Gray
If the stimulation of watching tv makes you feel disgust immediately, consider that to be some sort of conditioning.
Back to the drawing board with you!
Hudson Johnson
Some souls can't be saved from the mental enslavement of TV/mind control. Maybe at a future point in your life you will be reachable.
Jonathan Anderson
Yeah, its insane how many small corners of the internet that used to be run by smaller groups, companies, etc. have been slowly infiltrated and bought out/overrun by Google and the like.
Sure there are shills here pushing outside interests, but they usually stick out like a sore thumb.
Colton Long

How many commercials do you consume per year?

you're decades too late to complain about it
smartphones are the real shit. people are put in a permanent response-anxiety state and full environmental distraction, which absolutely impairs brain development in intelligence and learning ability, and obliterates your attention span to where you're incapable of being productive.

Bentley Adams
This is actually true, Television is equal parts hilarious and terrifying with regards to how blatant it's brainwashing is. Having come from England to America it's especially fucking awful here.
Juan Young
Have you ever watched Wonder Showzen? Or caught Barry Lyndon on IFC at 11 at night?
TV is alright sometimes, quit being such a sperg lord. I know it's not a millennial thing to like tv, but it's not THAT bad to a trained mind. Just too many ads.

Are you aware that the MSM is also in newspaper, on the Internet, on our streets, and in the airwaves?
And you're just concerned about just tv. Think a little bit.
Nathaniel Roberts
You still get bombarded with ads everyday on the internet though, whether you realize it or not. And the ads on the net are way more subversive than those on television.
Julian Lopez
Cool, so you don't know who Flow from Progressive is. Good for you. Nobodys impressed.
Henry Gutierrez
Use an ad blocker. On youtube always mute the volume and put your hand over the ad while it is playing. Press SKIP ad as soon as possible. You can get close to zero ads consumed.
Oliver Bennett
Good point. May I also add that Audible is a FANTASTIC service for any avid readers out there? Use loot crate now and get 1 month free with TingmCellular Service!

This. You think Hillary is the only one who has people shill?
People have been shilling propaganda for a long ass time.
Josiah Roberts
But aren't you avoiding thousands of idiotic commercials per year?
Lucas Young
I actually think the Internet is worse for brainwashing than the old media. At least with television and radio, the same information is broadcast to everybody. On the Internet, individual consumers can be profiled and custom content can be served to them. Two people visiting the same website could come away with very different facts and perceptions. Facebook for example did that study where they rigged people's news feeds to try to affect their moods.
The golden age of the media was the 30s to the 80s. Anyone with an antenna could pick up radio and TV broadcasts for free, and do so completely anonymously, and without the content or presentation potentially being rigged to manipulate them on an individual level. No doubt that society-level manipulation existed, but people were more social and had more opportunities to discuss the facts with people they knew and trusted.
Robert Brooks
No it isn't. Anyone can become the media on the internet. Where as you have huge corporations who own channels on TV/Newspaper and only a few people control the entire publication/program.
Carter Hill
I'm grandfathered in to have permanent TiVo without any sort of fees.
So, I don't really know about the commercials. I don't know why I should be scared about some Reese's commercial or some sappy trying-to-scare me life insurance commercial. I just fast forward through dat shit niga.
You know what my favorite show is? Antiques Roadshow on PBS. Zero commercials and tons to learn from it. It's not all bad.
Landon Bell
Commercials aren't really a threat. Memetics are way more dangerous method of brainwashing and hard as fuck to defend yourself against.
Nathaniel Perez

Thomas Bailey
You're using the internet and saying "redpilled", you've already lost
Kevin Brown
Just close your eyes when commercials come on.
How would you avoid a pysop like the blue dress meme though? This stupid meme reached hundreds of millions of people.
You realize how dangerous it would be if the powers that be weaponized memes to brainwash people?
Angel Myers
If you are watching (and paying for) cable television, you are still at a very early stage of awakening. You have a long long way to go, grasshopper.
Adrian Anderson
I blame the blind faggots who said it was white and gold.
Do you think they were planting the idea that it was white and gold, or do you think people just have shitty eyes.
One thing I do know is that I'm a victim for asking these questions but it's just so damn interesting.
Evan Peterson
>tfw I get called brainwashed by my family and my mother and sister said I should "leave and join my cult" >they honestly believe they know everything their is to know about the world and think that the elites getting together to consolidate their power is ridiculous >they get all their news from television
And how has that worked out? Do people truly feel more informed by all the conflicting information, or more confused than ever? In the past when people wanted dissenting opinions from the media narrative, they turned to books and scholars to learn the truth. Of course, to the Internet's credit, dissenting opinions can now diffuse much more easily. That's a good thing.
Unfortunately, most people pay no heed to the differences in quality of those dissenting opinions. Take this shithole for example. People get excited over LARPers and try to make connections between their "predictions" and current events, sometimes even pointing to threads in the archive that are many months old. It's a sickness.
Meanwhile great scholarly works the elite don't like get ignored. I bet a small minority of self-proclaimed national socialists here have ever read Mein Kampf. Nevertheless, the Internet makes this work available to anyone willing to do a Google search - no censorship bullshit from libraries, no customs authorities seizing your copy, none of that shit. Easy to find, easy to download. Unfortunately clickbait on Sup Forums prevails.
The demand for quality analysis suffers when anyone can become the media.

The birth of common internet was an amazing time i think allot of us hold onto the good old aol chat days. Its degraded a ton because (((they))) have learnt how to controll it to an extent.
Lucas Kelly
They were planting the idea that it was white and gold to fuck with us, to see how far they can bend reality, and to mind control us.

fug don't even really have/use a phone at all anymore but still definitely get some shit like this from internet use

I see what you're saying. Just watch Nickelodeon and they're using half-second shots now.
Luis Ward
No, he's right. Your post proves it.
I would never be able to read your post or hear your thoughts before the Internet.
Don't tale this for granted. You are sat in Canada and i am in Britain discussing censorship and we are free to talk to say what we think. Just think what people in the 60's would have thought of that.
I agree mass information has many problems.
Sebastian Hernandez
Through mind viruses (memetics).
Nathaniel Murphy
>leave in less than 30 mins due to dizziness from the tv >the three second shots drive me nuts
I know there are music videos where every shot is literally 1 second . . . for the entire video.
Also, the sound of cheerful cable show hosts and the moronic laugh tracks on sitcoms. All nauseating at this point after a long detox.
Jackson Baker
of course, but how does secluding myself from everything in the world help them? I watch tv from a curiosity stand point not because i genuinely give a fuck about the programming.
i already said i watch tv to stay informed, not because i give a fuck. i don't think i've ever bought something i've seen on tv.

I've had a hard time watching TV after 12. The past 11 years have just been anime. I have, however, watch some of "The Man in the High Castle."

TV commercials are such complete garbage. Why wouldn't you want to live your life complete free of TV commercials? Are you that conditioned to the poison to not be aware of it?
James Myers
>I would never be able to read your post or hear your thoughts before the Internet.
False. Non-elites had ad hoc communications before the Internet. Even across international borders, people made pen-pal friends or networked with people with similar hobbies in other countries. Non-kosher information got around just as well as now.
John Brown

Everything on TV is designed for the sole purposed of controlling your thoughts and manipulating your behavior, but you are obviously one of the smart ones who is immune to it all! It must feel good to be that smart and wary.

Are you FSA?
Zachary Thomas
Social media is already worse for your mental health than television. You guys have NO idea how much shilling and mind control is going on here and everywhere online.
Big money always wins. Always.
Angel Murphy
Its all apart of the NWO plan to come to as close to being a god as they can (by being able to see, hear controll everything you do)
There are just going to monopolise everything major like facebook and youtube which we can see happening today with facebook censoring alternative media, twitter censoring and banning conservative accounts.
A site i've used since it was released was liveleak, was prime in the day for all the shit that was going on in the middle east and redpilled the fuck out of me. A few years ago there were big changes and they no longer show extreme gore and the mods feature youtube "narrative" shit.
We will just see more sites conform to the narrative or just be slandered so normies no longer trust them.
I hate the modern internet because (((they))) are so good at disinformation these days who knows whos jewing who.
William Barnes
So because there are always more things to consider we should disregard one? You should think a little bit more.
Bentley Campbell
Agreed to up to a point, But we would not have spoken and surely not with reference access and speed as I type this right now?
Surely you have to see this as a positive step despite any issues you may have?
Connor Martinez
But there will still be Sup Forums and then the non-documented Internet parts, no?
The way people lazily rely on monopolised and controlled >Feeeds Is frightening and has directly led to Safe-space and narrow views on all sides.
I hear it on here as well but thankfully there are enough varied thoughts around.
