Overhearing the talking heads my dad's boob tube.

Sometimes I wonder if these people putting out their dumbass observations have ever poked their head out from their doomsday shelter long enough to see anyone frown at them.

They're just employees doing their jobs.
The mindset is hegemonic because the population doesn't see other views through mainstream media. Things change.
@Roundandroundwego So according to you, people deserve to die because they happen to live in a certain country, but people who choose to go on national TV and lie about people dying are just doing their jobs.

Don't be offended if I don't read anything by you anymore.
@SinlessOnslaught no, I don't think the wars are legal or justified. I think the TV expresses the views that the corporate ownership wants for the viewers, the talking heads don't have to understand politics, but they're forced to make a living in jobs. The population can easily see that and can choose various paths out of being complicit in endless wars. Media is one key thing.
@Roundandroundwego You don't think the wars are legal or justified but the machines that perpetuate them are normal and the people who contribute for money are okay?
@SinlessOnslaught the machines perpetuating the wars are fascistic. The situation is an extreme normal - people behaving like they see the unthinkable as normal and denouncing anyone who can't.
@Roundandroundwego It's normal as long as you're around.
@SinlessOnslaught fully show your utter contempt! Nobody thinks talking to y'all would change nothing.
