decided to start my own thread because this is a very specific topic

our society places extreme importance upon material things: (money, partying, drinking, #### etc). our society does this too such an extreme extent that self-worth is now measured by accomplishments in such venues. look at all the influences across the internet, music, and film to see what i mean

in general, one's outward appearance is the sole determining factor in one's self-worth. this is so prevalent that americans will stop at nothing to attain a high status. this means bullying, screwing people over, making fun of others, and leaving others out. this is permissible, because, once again, all of our music and entertainment says it is.

so we have a society (entertainment industry) that tells people to be extremely selfish and stop at nothing to chase material worth. as a result, you have the bottom-feeders of society. those whose self-worth is at zero according to these standards. as much as they try to improve their standing, they cannot because they already have a negative label placed upon them, and selfish americans will grant them no mercy or inclusion into anything

these feelings of worthlessness and futility mold into hopelessness and anger. those who have not had any success and who have in fact been repeatedly rejected and felt dejected see no hope. so what is the outlet? well, what does society say? again, look at the entertainment industry. how often do you hear popular songs or see popular movies embellishing love, patience, and selfless as great character traits? the answer is rarely.

what you get instead is an entertainment industry that preaches anger, revenge, violence, and glory as the solutions to our problems

so based on all of this you get a social structure that mercilessly chastises and spits upon the bottom-feeders. the bottom-feeders, shown no mercy and never once haven achieved anything, need an outlet for their emotions. and according to our entertainment industry, those outlets should be acts of vengeful anger and the avenger should stop at nothing.

"what you get instead is an entertainment industry that preaches anger, revenge, violence, and glory as the solutions to our problems"

considering the entertainment industry is the same worldwide (world entertainment industry is based on US entertainment industry), the fact that psychological links between media/entertainment and violence have been disproven multiple times, and that mass shootings are exclusively an American problem, this is probably not true at all

Those studies research whether or not exposure to violence through entertainment influences shootings, and that's not what I'm talking about

i think you're missing the point that these are just tactics used by the bourgeoisie to express their authority and ensure the working classes fight amongst themselves while ignoring the real target

"this man cheesey a walking conspiracy theory" I mean he's not exactly wrong all of your thoughts, ######## beliefs, and values are based off of your lifelong exposure to media examples of societal norms

conquest of bread and capital are the two best sources of economic theory i can recommend

i've read countless other books and articles but you really just need those two to really get into socialism
