RE: https://mementomori.social/@juhani/116316794732185026
Maybe it was just a question of time, but #advertising has been out of control for far too long, and it will just get worse. With time, most have become numb, and entrenched in #learnedhelplessness.
The next frontier are our #dreams, which is actively researched[1], but our dreams are already affected merely through constant commercial bombardment in the environment we live in[2].

@ryan another thought i had from https://openresearch.ocadu.ca/id/eprint/1399/1/Poremba_Critical_2007.pdf when it comes to #brinkGames it's best or maybe necessary for people to break rules by their own volition, in some ways these games can encourage that, but is it possible to make people break the rules or is that a paradox? Similarly when it comes to players taking #agency and making their own rules collaboratively, can you build that into the game or does it have to come entirely from the players? This comes back to a thing ive been thinking about of how do you 'teach' people to have agency, or is that an oxymoron? Perhaps a game could foster this by having rules don't allow continuation unless a player decides to take the agency for themselves? How could that be encouraged, and maybe could it be a way to break people out of the mindset of #learnedHelplessness ?

@AeonCypher @admin @john @ShredderFeeder
that's it:
they see corruption, money in politics, gerrymandering and disenfranchisement, liars who change positions and use waffle words, etc
then they do something inexplicable:
they give up. they accept
they imagine corporatist centrists dems as omnipotent aliens they can do nothing about
no, you spineless turds, you just show the fuck up in the primaries
your cynical weakness is a bigger problem than corruption

@ZLabe Article seems to tell us she feels responsible for keeping business-as-usual as profitable as possible as #climatebreakdown unfolds, rather than trying to do anything about it. #Learnedhelplessness at this level is unspeakable; please tell me I've misunderstood!

you would think people would notice the extensive #psyop to convince the #left to not vote, via various methods: #learnedHelplessness, #toxicIdealism, premature empty cynical capitulation, "BoTh SiDeS tHe SaMe" and other endless bullshit, and understand that what they should do is #vote

Apparently they will only help once you are two or three weeks behind, so then your personal rental rating gets tarnished with a black mark - making it even harder to secure some accommodation.
This is why people like I don’t ask for help, & less likely to do so again in the future.

it's a human #psychology hack dovetailing into a #political and #social play:
you beat someone on the street, they run away, they fight back
you lock someone in a cage and you beat them daily: they give up, they adopt #learnedhelplessness, and hew to the #abuser. simply to reduce their beatings
you can rule through #consent or you can rule through #fear
and people are giving up on consent as #plutocracy eats it away. perversely, many then flock to the monster killing them

point is, whether the #learnedhelplessness and mindless #cynicism brigades are wildly successful or just an annoyance, whether they are a controlled #troll farm #psyop or just loud people with various social and personality disorders: they are dead weight either way
worry about what we can change
the rest, if all they have is endless whining and zero effort to do the slightest bit of work, a #vote, for better, because they don't get perfect: fuck 'em. pathetic cancerous drek

a lot of them on #socialmedia are #maga or #geopolitical #troll farms
working #psyop angles of #learnedhelplessness, #toxicidealism, mindless #cynicism, impotency driven by emotional overload, etc
to suppress the #vote
unfortunately there are marks out there for the con job
people have issues. we all do
and some can be worked over by anonymous manipulation to be rendered ineffective on the concerns they care about: better positioned as the enemy of perfect
