Progressology

A nexus of technology, permaculture, and everyday life

29 notes

The colonialization of the plantation of the mind is now complete. It is not coincidental that those citizens who watch the most TV are also the biggest buyers of junk food and its accompanying junk worldview based on consumption, faux novelty (“get the new chicken-bacon-cheese-double-burger today!”) and a passive disengagement from the real world: for example, cooking real food, raising real food, sharing the preparation of real food with others as an activity, teaching your kids some useful skills at home (“that’s the school’s job”), etc. Passive absorption of marketing-dominated media is the primary activity on the plantation of the mind, and that of course is the goal of the colonial overlords: distraction, passivity, confusion, “divide and conquer,” and the old stand-by, financial desperation. The Plantation economy has conquered a substantial percentage of the minds of home-country “consumers.” (They were once citizens, but the MSM has brainwashed them into the chattel known as “consumers.”) Now that this internal mono-culture of marketing dominates the populace, exploitation as per the plantation/colonial model can proceed along a slightly modernized pathway.
