Today the subject of consumerism kept popping up. I keep thinking about how circular time is and it seems that throughout history there’s always the examples of great civilizations that meet their demise as soon as the society gets too decadent. Greece, Rome, Roaring Twenties. Good times make weak men etc
But why is that? Consumerism is what the DS uses to hypnotize people, to make them not care about the society they live in, not pay attention to the changes going on around them because they’re too busy caring about themselves.
The more you watch YouTube, the more you start consuming bc these YouTuber reviewers start helping you imagine situations you would be using said items and that’s the thought seed that gets you going and thinking “yea that would be a nice thing to have in case that happens”. Next thing you know you’re obsessed with the item. You’re thinking about it morning, noon and night. Consume consume consume. The average person who is susceptible to this hypnosis is spending his time either working to get the money to buy the thing he wants or spending his time finding the next thing to buy. Where is the time to give a shit about politics? As long as their life is not affected, they won’t unplug.
But a society must reach a certain level of prosperity before consumerism can take place. If society is at a level where you don’t even know if you’ll have a next meal, you wont care about much else and will be very involved in government to demand change.
Therefore the best point to maintain control of a society is to make sure the people have enough money to eat have a place to live and have some spending money. It’s much easier to distract people when they have some money to spend and we’re not talking a whole lot of money just needs to be slightly over “barely surviving”.
Now, you control the media/social media and you basically tell your stars what’s the next big thing for them to focus on.
The extreme preaning of men / feminization of men has happened prior to a civilizations down fall (Greek men and young boys as lovers, Men in drag in the Weimar Republic.
Narcissism also is high in a society before it’s downfall.
Sorry if it’s not very coherent. Just wanted to jot down some random thoughts. I’m sure this isn’t news to anyone but I guess I just never took the time to dissect out all these ideas.
Ray Dalio put out a good video on the Rise and Fall of Empires, it paint a broad brush on what you’re saying. Check it out, it’s called ‘Principles for Dealing with The Changing World Order by Ray Dalio’.
I don’t think the Cabal engineers our way to consumerism imo. They certainly USE it to their advantage.
The cabal/DS/evil doers, in my view are Masters of Manipulation and Deceit (Devil stuff)… they are experts at exploitation.
Our Human Condition / Human Nature sets us on a path of destruction frankly if we don’t have a good foundational check — Jesus came to save us from ourselves.
As people we all want a better life, once with less suffering or pain. It’s in our nature to avoid pain. So the cycle begins, our forefathers toil the fields, work hard, break their backs to provide for their families… the necessities of life, food, shelter, etc. All so that the Family can live and prosper.
The next generation reps the benefit, get better educated, take on work that is beyond the fields, earn more, better standard of living, etc…
Then ultimately, a generation is born, so coddled… without suffering or pain, they are free to experience more transcendental thoughts like “what is a man?” “What is a woman?”….
That’s where the evil doers capture them. And as these young minds have no reference, no foundation, they are easily manipulated.
Yes. The luxury of free time can be a blessing and a curse. When you're not occupied with putting bread on the table, you’re free to expand your mind with truth but also with garbage.
