American paying for cable & sat TV each month and watching TV keep these people in control. The serfs accept dhiminitude for ball games and reality TV.
As longs as they control TV - they can do anything they want.
Reminds me of the GI Joe episode where Cobra hijacks the airwaves. Quotes (more or less) from CC was “television is their friend” and “they believe what TV tells them.”
“The serfs accept dhiminitude for ball games and reality TV.”
I travel frequently on business to third world communist countries to which we have exported good paying middle class factory jobs. Driving through both rural and urban areas in the evening I notice that many squalid huts have televisions. Religion may have been the opiate of the masses in earlier centuries. The twenty first century masses in developed and undeveloped countries are mesmerized by the boob tube. It makes the job of ruling much easier when humans can escape to an imaginary place by staring at a sheet of glass.
