Who drives the economy ?

Post by Heracleum Persicum »

.



. . marketers, opinion formers and politicians




Implies, bubble, recession, depression, booming and all other variation of, all, planned .. for their own benefit .. to f*ck JOE


Joe is played .. his "free will" is manufactured


Media key in all this, they the engine of

Meaning, free media, in western world, a tool of "marketers, opinion formers and politicians" .. Joe, in reality, a slave

Has been always like this, only thing changing is how to push and fool Joe .. same, since 1000s of years


On the other hand, places where "marketers, opinion formers and politicians" not as advance not as sophisticated, that's where Joe makes his own mind, does make his own decisions .. sound crazy, but true

you make it sound like joe gives a sh*t about the power politics and games of the big boys.

what if its not a conspiracy, what if after a hectic day of politics and struggles at work followed by a busy evening of chores and dramas at home all that joe wants from his bloody media is a wee bit of escapism.

bollocks - ive lived in those places and they are every bit as ignorant of the big boys games and world at large as joe - the only difference is that they are irrelevant.

rural villages miss out on a lot - some of us consider that a feature:)

The technical terms are 'tastemakers' and 'thought leaders'.
Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike.
