Gullible Neurotics






By: Jonathan Seidel


Harrison and perceptive judgemental  racism.    


Harrison, Arkansas is dubbed the most racist town in America. Two black influencers went to visit and reported positively on the area. There happened to be a KKK leader in the town over. Yet the media’s portrayal of the polite town was of denigrated trolls.


The media has a history of false reporting. Whether done intentionally or not the lack of factual claims is particularly demeaning. Due to the media broadcast, people believed that it was in fact racist. Showing clips of passerby incidents. Using a few incidents to justify their indecent claim. The media jumped to a conclusion and thereby their audience did as well. The media’s conclusions are rapidly internalised by their viewership. Trust is pretty up there. Ironically, many argue that people do not trust the media anymore. It depends on the story. Take Russiagate or Assange. Since they are perceived as threats, the public interests their vile existence. Snowden broke the news of spying on citizens and people responded with shouting for his head. Ignoring the obvious lies and misleading news only fuels the fire. The media only confirms their suspicions. 


Hearing people’s take on either these characters is indicative of priorities. Media lies but people lie to themselves. Willing to forgo truth in order to legitimise their perceived morals. For the sake of democracy’s elite purity. There is no way democracy could go wrong. Communism is the evil. Russians or American attackers are automatically wrong. Belying any responsibility on the America’s part. Ignoring the facts or basically making them up. The media spins these facts but it is less audience hypnosis and more audience denial. The audience believes democracy is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Any wrong was perpetrated by an outsider. Any C.I.A coup was justified to maintain order. Vietnam was a disaster but a necessary war to rid the commies. People are still upset that the U.S. backed out of Afghanistan. How dare we leave. Keep letting poor people’s children die for a useless conflict. This isn’t even a media argument but a hyper-democratic universalism prognosis. 


Testifying to their own ignorance mediates any proper simplification. Their own false fates propagate the dangerous prerogative. They do not want to hear the ills and failures. While they may have a few choice words for America, they will never diminish their democratic freedom. Maintaining a presence in certain sectors of the world is necessary for freedom. America is the sole provider of democratic aid. Punishing totalitarian regimes. That is the American way. Unbeknownst to them of their own imperialist national agenda. Yet such a perspective works in the negative as well. Propaganda and generalisations become screen savers. Cops are evil out to hurt black people. Your favourite athlete tweeting to his fear of leaving his multimillion dollar house to be executed by governmental agents. The narrow quantities are intensified to construct a misleading narrative. Yet this is not solely a media spun initiative. People believe this and then support the heinous deceptive tweet as they believe it to. They do not say it but they were thinking it.


Distaste for something is heightened by the media storm harassing said individual. Yet the dislike leads to disinterest or even active detriment. Trump’s allegations were immediately pounced upon despite obvious holes in the accusation. Even after it has been debunked people still hold true to it. People still use it as a crutch. Even those willing to accept, make up other narratives to hate. Simultaneously ignoring their own prospect’s culprit criminality. The cognitive bias is daring but is surreal in the polarised society. The media lit a firestorm but it wasn’t as if the citizenry was a fan before the allegations. It confirmed their hate and then crumbling under them magnified it. The citizen element has a perception that labels danger to otherness. When the media acknowledges or pushes the false narrative it bolsters negative reaction. The media here is the wind that expands the campfire to a raging forest fire. For even those who did feel that way before are not included in the haters. 


A preconceived bias is affirmed by polarised individuals. Those who see danger wherever they turn. The possibility of an affirmed presupposition. A stereotypical attitude collaborated by media forces. An outsider reeling in the news as a champion fan. Wishing for justice to be served. The bias is inherent in the contributive alias. A few incidents mark up an epidemic. A fashion hoard crawling with cynical loops. Chanting with great enthusiasm as the boasted serial access is testified for. Looking for an argument, looking for a tree to shake. Then they scream aha told ya so. I knew it blah blah blah. It is even better when the media is incorrect or the statistics fail to match the theory.  The sympathetic apologists who fumble in their plundering explanations. Crushed by the potential mistake just double down on their nonsense. Showing clips of media consensus for verification. The media is their pathological witness. Yet instead of properly treating it hostile, they hold it tight as a best friend.     

 

Ignorant to personal conflicts in their now perception of the world. They’re own stereotypical attitudes that manifest in everyday life. Perceiving others as inferior or problematic due to methods of life. The way they dress or act. Judging by the content of appearance than a deeper analysis of visiting their selfhood. Remaining on the surface of the narrative dissolves the full story. Quick judgements are maintained in media confirmation. No need to change distasteful behaviour as the media documents the same damaging actions. Andrew Tate must be a terrible person capable of rape just because he says things I disagree with. The category does not matter, the situation does not matter. Much of the time the media is wrong. Was Saddam a bad man, yes. Did he have WMD’s, no. Was Osama a bad man yes. Were his grievances legit, yes. Even the worst men are not necessarily irrational maniacs. Before personal retribution crosses the mind then strengthened by a propaganda media narrative, sceptically get the full story.
