Turn Off, Tune Out And Drop Out

Guest Post by The Zman

Television is the great propaganda weapon of the liberal democratic state, so it is a useful window into the thinking of the oligarchs. Movies and television shows still have to attract an audience, so they are usually the trailing edge of whatever the oligarchs are trying to impose on society, but the ads are a different matter. They are the leading edge of the latest Progressive fads. They know people will not abandon a show or movie just because the ads are offensive.

That’s what makes the ads a useful window into the black soul of our rulers. The ad makers are all from the ruling class. Look at the team photo of an ad agency and it looks like the faculty of an Ivy League college. There may be a little color in there for show, but otherwise it is all men with small hats and people who still write “Episcopalian” when asked about their religion. The advertising agencies that produce these ads are the special forces of the Judeo-Puritan ruling class.

This is why the ad makers were ready for the aggressive push to support the Black Lives Matter stuff after George Floyd died from an overdose. It is the thing that gets no attention, but should be the focus. Within days of the event, even before the rioters were in the streets, every global corporation was running diversity ads. The television services had all their blaxploitation films and shows ready. They even changed their graphical interfaces to feature black stuff.

It takes weeks and months to put together a simple ad. The concept has to be settled and the story boards created. Then there is filming, editing and final production. A corporate marketing program takes months to get ready. Changing the look and feel of the TV streaming service to feature blacks is no small feat. Creating a useful list of “black creators” should take a week or two, but they had it all ready to go. This pogrom was in the works for months.

In large part this is why Black Lives Matter initially had lots of white support, despite its record of murder and mayhem. Just four years ago BLM was executing cops, but thanks to a barrage of ads, most people forgot that and were initially inclined to support the cause. Then the black protesters reminded everyone why Africa is not the high point of human progress. The ad makers have now shifted the diversity message to feature homosexuals, deviants and girls playing male roles.

That’s really where you get a clear look into the mind of the oligarchs. This ad for the Marine Corp is getting revived in time for the election. When the ad was produced three years ago, the official line was that the Marines made the ad because they were facing pressure from women to let the girls go into combat units. That’s a lie, of course, as no women want to go into combat. Most men don’t want to see combat. Lying, however, is the core of advertising and the modern media.

The ad, of course, is disgusting. The thought of sending mothers and daughters into combat should make a decent person wretch. People at the edge of extinction turn their future into weapons of war. The ancients defined the barbarians, in part, by their habit of bringing their women and children to the battle. Of course, the absurdity of this little girl in combat is impossible to miss. Ad makers can normalize just about anything, but even they are bounded by reality.

You’ll note that the ad makers always use white women when they are trying to convince girls to be boys. Non-whites always get portrayed in traditional roles or they are cast as the natural leaders. The military ads always have the blacks in command positions or as the heroic example of the military code. That’s what they are selling to the non-whites they are targeting. Apparently, the oligarchs think they can patrol the empire with a Tinkerbell army run by 90-IQ officers.

Obviously, that will never happen. It does, however, reveal that these people are not geniuses who have carefully thought this through. They are caught up in nutty fads of their own creation, that sweep them along like flotsam. You see that with the response to the riots this summer. These idiot mayors, in places like Minneapolis and Portland, really thought they would be the heroes of these stories. They believed the agit-prop produced by the cult of social justice.

Even so, there are long term consequences to the culture war waged on the television screens of America. White males have been mostly removed from advertising, unless they are the fool or the supplicant. Blacks have been turned into objects of worship, largely due to television and advertising. This absurd sense of entitlement by blacks is one consequence. The negrophilia by many whites is another. It is not beyond the pale to use the term “ethnic cleansing” for what we are seeing.

At the peak of the 1960’s cultural revolution, Timothy Leary popularized the phrase, “Turn on, tune in, drop out” as a way to convince people to detach from the existing conventions and hierarchies in society. Of course, he was peddling degeneracy and self-abuse to whites, but the advice actually makes a lot of sense as an antidote to what the oligarchs are doing to us now. Disconnecting from the system as much as possible places you beyond the tractor beam of the propaganda organs.

This is the irony of this phase of the cultural revolution. What was initially pitched as a counter culture movement, was really a war on heritage America by the newly ascendant managerial class. The way to overthrow this decrepit and degenerate ruling class is to take their old advice. White people need to detach from the existing conventions and hierarchies that support the oligarchs. We need a counter culture that turns off, tunes out and eventually drops out.

I have made similar posts on this subject in the past but articles like The Zman’s here remind me of the subject once again about how the propaganda vector operates. If anyone is interested in learning more beyond the Le Bon / Bernays level, please read The Image by Daniel Boorstin, published back in 1962. Boorstin was one of the most influential Deep State federal government apparatchiks we never heard of. A Neocon before the word existed, affiliated with the University of Chicago, Boorstin developed the first “Ontology of Media” that led to the fully mature modern media propaganda campaigns we see today. He also was the architect of Reagan’s Evil Empire campaign needed to let the debt genie out of the bottle. Super influential anonymous guy and his book is well worth the read.

I took you up on that recommendation. As I recall you had a moniker back then and also recommended other books which I may or may not have purchased. Who were you then.

Zman says it excellently; Howard Beale says it best:

Turn off the God damned fucking Tel Avi(v)ision!

Step one: Boycott the NFL, NBA etc — even hockey has a 5 min diatribe about BLM and “celebrating diversity in hockey” before each game.

Learn a new language or instrument. Build something– a deck, chest, table, green house, smoker or brick barbecue ( or stone pizza oven.) Learn welding, small engine repair etc.
Start a small business for a second income…. plant a small orchard or garden……. exercise, read classic literature, liquidate the junk in your storage areas, flea marketing, estate sale bargains the flip for cash…. dozens of ways to productively utilize the hours and hours that white males WASTE watching sports on TV ( and supporting those who hate you.)

I’ve wasted large chunks of the last forty years but, to my credit, none of it was on watching TeeVee.

I’ve wasted large chunks of my life drinking beer but, to my credit, none of it was Pearl. I think I’ll drink to that.

No TV for me because drug commercials and content (programming)
stinks. It sits there taking up space where a chair and lamp should
be. The Mr. has a movie collection so it stays there. We haven’t watched
a movie in 5 years. I have a lovely piece of fabric on that monster as a dust
cover/but I am getting sick of the pattern.
Who sits and stares at a box for hours?

Is it a Philco color teevee from 1965?

I was a kid in 1965 when the first color TV at home was a Zenith…I remember coming home from school at least once a week and the TV repair man’s van was in the driveway…always replacing tubes…

Judeo-Puritan(ism) fought fervently to bring down the Catholic church for two reasons . Revenge for the Grande Inquisition which purged the crypto-Jews and the church ban on usury . Without the Catholic church’s historical check on state power, the Judeo-Puritans could debase and destroy We The People’s culture, traditions, faith and heritage , not to mention string the noose of perpetual debt around our necks until we die. And, they did.

Pretty much anything with an ad is wasted on me. When an ad pops up…I’m gone.

The subliminal messages in advertising are worthy of their own article.

The subliminal stuff is indeed worthy of an extended article, but it boils down to that, without our product or service you will be (poor) (weak) (unknown) (insignificant) (unpopular) (laughingstock) (cuckold) (clown), whereas other people similar to you will become rich, powerful, famous and sexy!

And deeply spiritual too, in a way that only a celebrity can truly understand.

Wi Wi, , my interpretation of ads long ago was; our product will make you beautiful, smart or rich. Our pastor summarized the devil’s tricks as – fame, finances or females.

The latest trend I have noticed is mixed race couples/families in ads. Between them and homos it pretty much covers the advertising message for the major corporations.

Wife and I are close to the point of cutting the cable. 95% of the TV shows and 100% of the commercials are absolutely horrible. We watch maybe, 2 or 3 older sitcoms and a few good home remodeling shows. I think Springsteen made a song about it years ago. 57 channels and nothing on? Now there’s 157 channels and nothing on.

Cut the cable. Install a Roku and watch what you want.
