Application of fear on general populations by mediatic exposure to maintain power

[Creamu]

Hello,

the fear I am experiencing is soul crushing. I am stuck in a vicious scramble of fatalism and doom, by all the things going on in the world.

A random person told me that there is a effort to keep people in fear to keep them complacent. Is that true?

Turn off the news, live a better life.

Turn off the news, live a better life.

But how can I prepare for the impending doom if I dont watch the news?

Fear and anger are indeed powerful tools for manipulating the general public with. If what you're watching tries to evoke those emotions 24/7, it's not news.

Yes, I see your point. Maybe this is the reason why I am so fearful.

I've got to ask: what are your preparations now, then?

If countries start to throw nuclear weapons, a few iodine pills aren't going to help surviving, and unless you're neighboring ukraine, you're daily life is hardly or not at all interrupted.

It was different for covid, yes. But even there the main real point was to either follow regulations and get vaccinated or do neither.

With covid they got a look how the population would react if the fasad of classic american liberalism was to be discontinued.

I think we have powerful actors on this planet who are not guided by sober rational thought, and they are beginning to seriously loose their patience. It only needs a moodswing of a psychotic leader to cause a nuclear winter. My preperations are:

-secret hideout with thick dense walls to filter most of the radiation until the main load is halfend a few times,
-a bucket of tallow
- and a smartphone with my favorite retro games.

. I havent figured out a way to recharge yet
...

yep

yes

I knew it...

Actually the overall fear serves different purposes:

1) fourth generation warfare by URSS 2.0
2) real enemies don't want you to feel encouraged and actually pressure the real threats
3) sovereign countries don't dare to go against the real enemies (sovereign countries still enforcing sovereignty and independence vs the ones invaded by the real enemies, local government included)

And the "fear" technically would be "demoralization", see an ex-KGB analysis about it.

What to do?

 

[Coto]

What to do?

What I did:
-Join the military
-Dedicate 100% of my free time to help people here in Chile through programming (yes I love coding), making games and whatnot. So a new source of income happens even if the country's gone socialist. And it's actually working! lol

You better get yourself a bucket of tallow

No thanks I prefer coffee. But anyway, i'd suggest you grow up some balls or gonads

Coffee puts stress on your adrenals and inhibits hormone production such as testosterone.

To some point, that is always true. But also not new, the world was still capable of moving from the Yellow Peril and the Red Scare all the way to... a new Yellow Peril and a new Red Scare a century later. I'm sure The Specter will show up again too; I mean, someone in this thread thinks a milktoast social democrat is socialist! And a lack of goods gets turned into a wage problem, again.
All this has happened before, and all this will happen again. Except the environment, we only have one of those, and it takes a while to recover. And MAD, you never know, but there's nothing you can do.
The very serious people will keep lying, and the world will keep spinning.

And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. - Luke 12:29-32

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” - Romans 12:2

I like this old style literature thing, but its hard for me to follow.
