Society has regressed and people devolved so much that the very notions of “progress” have been inverted, reversed.
Nihilism is a state such that idealism and realism is blurred together. The child’s world of fantasy is extended far into “adulthood”. Where are the adults? One strong symbol of this occurrence is the rise of Hollywood, the “entertainment industry”, television programming, and the advancement of propaganda and institutionalizing memes within them. Hollywood in particular, a reflection of the liberal-left, have become very outspoken and news-prominent as of late. From movements such as #metoo to actresses wearing all black, society feeds on such attention. But what are actors, actresses, and thespians, except attention-seekers, hounding for fame? And many of them will do just about anything to get it, including, selling-out what few or little morals they entered Hollywood with to begin.
What is an actor, except, an adult pretending to be other people? Child’s play, grown up. And the more actors pretend, the more famous and renowned they become. Here is the main point though:
Nihilism and social degeneracy have spread so much, more and more Modern people look to Hollywood for leadership, for inspiration, and for meaning. This is blurred when Modern people cannot differentiate fantasy from reality, and so it is done through theater, television, and movies. The average Modern believes that the actor is the actual person portrayed by his/her acting. Moderns cannot differentiate between the movie and “real-life”. Because of this, actors and actresses have gained an unfamiliar notoriety, that actors and actresses have worthy political opinions or wise insights, about life. But do they? How can you trust adults who make a career on make-believe, and pretending to be other people?
The popular super-hero genre is another telling symbol. Children want to fantasize about heroes, and so this genre is expectantly popular. But are actors and actresses “heroes” in real-life? Are they really leaders of society? Are they really worthy or valuable contributors of society? Of course they are not. Traditionally and classically, actors and actresses have held very little social hierarchy. Because actors environment is the Stage. And what is a Stage, a show, except a fakery? A place of fancy and fantasy? An entertainment, a spectacle, pretty lights, beautiful sounds, a distraction, from reality.
A catharsis. A focal point.
Thus Hollywood has risen to undue prominence and power, casting spells of fantasy, not only over those in the US, but throughout the world. Even China has had to put up “The Great Wall of the Internet”, to block ‘outside’ interference and influence. East Asia carefully monitors, and censors, western media. Because they know the danger of propaganda and such influence.
Speaking of which, Hollywood, within the past 20 years, have turned from simple fantasies, into a full political-movement. Instead of movies being about entertainment, per se, now there are unspoken ‘quotas’ that this lead needs to be a woman, or black, such as in the newer Star Wars releases. New quotas to meet the underlaying political propaganda and scheme. Hollywood is permeating into areas previously unknown to it. If Moderns have been accepting the sedative, the drug, the mind-numbing poison thus far, then why not up the dose? Why not insert and inject new levels of depravity into the popular myths, dreams, and psyche of the populace?
Why not poison the well further?
