Western society is super-saturated with leftist propaganda.

Every news broadcast. Every movie. Every lesson in every classroom.
Every social signifier in public. Every poll. Every TV show. Every tribal shibboleth. In ways large and small, overt and covert, subtle and blatant, the society around us is infused with progressive ideals and agendas, whether you realize it or not. And it’s not just the entire preschool-through-PhD educational system, the entire media/entertainment complex, and most interpersonal environments; increasingly, under Obama especially, the federal government itself has become an inescapable agent of coercive progressive propaganda imposed on us with the full force of the state. But what is the purpose of all this propaganda?

Your Say

This may be Zombie's best, a truly wonderful essay from someone who's been photographing these beasts at close range for a long long time.

I would also recommend Michael Walsh's The Devil's Pleasure Palace, a rather longer (but not much) explication of the whole Frankfurt School infection. Not to be missed.

And I thought it was just me cringing at the total leftist super-saturation that our culture is marinating in. I guess the election results say that I'm not alone.

The purpose of the Wrongs's efforts is to attain equality for all rather than fairness for all.
They confuse equality with equivalence.
They confuse honesty with truthfulness.
They equate their altruism and idealism with wise compassion.
They take their coercive tactics as necessary mentoring.
They see their obnoxious ordure as the daily order for the rest of us.
They hate tradition, earned privilege, logic, personal responsibility, and self-respect, while practicing self-flagellation and drivelage.

Baselessly smearing their opponents as racists and haters, they prove themselves as master baiters.

I'd say more, but I've used up my quota of howls and vowels.

It's like breaking out of the Matrix, isn't it?

I was astonished when it occurred to me that, oh, say, the vaunted and respected plays of Arthur Miller were really intellectual Soviet tractors. What other of my received ideas were utter bullslt?

Lots. It turns out that a preponderance of our contemporary American culture is really the product of a Marxist deception that started back in the 20s. I, too, recommend 'The Devil's Pleasure Palace', and also "Double Lives, Spies and Writers in the Secret Soviet War of Ideas Against the West" by Stephen Koch, Dupes: How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century", by Paul Kenfor, and virtually everything written by David Horowitz, especially his "Shadow Party."

America is a product of the Scottish Enlightenment, not the French. It's beyond time to flush these evil mothers down the crapper of history.

The amount of fake info we have received all of our lives is appalling and debilitating.

I got 40 years of it before I started to realize 20 years ago that I've been fed bullshit since birth.

There is no way to unravel the damage that has been done, but I intend to spend the rest of my life trying.

Zombie seems overconfident.
The presently bereft Left, the Wrongs, are angry, confused, vengeful, and unrelenting. Ignorance x Idealism x Arrogance x Activism eventually leads to coercion of others.
We, the Rights, as a mass of We the People, are already relaxing rather than organizing, planning, educating, and executing to reverse the retrograde and and advance the republic from the bottom, local level on up.
Who's approving the contents of school
textbooks for accuracy and comprehensiveness?
How are prospective teachers being trained to teach critical thinking skills?
If left to state and federal agencies, we will be graduating puppets instead of thoughtful Americans.
How are the Wrongs now controlling much of our system to be disempowered?
What? Who? When? How? Me???
