How is western media not trying to possess humans by creating illusions?

[sovietchild]

We all know what one might see if one were to turn the TV ‘on’ in western countries. The chances are one might see humans killing humans movies, illegitimate relationships, sodomy practices, and of course the supernatural movies like superman and a 100-pound woman holding a 100 - pound machine gun (M134) with 100-pounds of bullets. To cut it short, falsehood and illusion. How are they not breeding illusions? How are they not breeding flasehood? Isn't that what the purpose of Satan is - manipulate and possess humans by creating illusions?

Another example is, they paint good guys as bad guys, and bad guys as good guys. Iran for example haven’t attacked any nation in its history. Last time they fought a war was in 80’s when Saddam Hussein attacked them without any warning. If Iran is a peaceful nation, then why paint them as bad guys? Western countries have been harvesting “pirates” in middle eastern since 1917 or so. They paint Islam as a bad religion and paint pictures of Prophet Muhammad murdering civilians, which is falsehood. But things only get worse, when middle eastern locals decide to take arms to defend their nation against invaders, western media paint them as criminals. Right now, middle eastern have ISIS, which to me looks like a creation by the west for the purpose to attack Syria and then when ISIS destroys Syria, western world then can attack ISIS and basically have control over middle eastern because that’s what they always wanted, to have control of middle eastern oil reserves.

So, how is western media not trying to manipulate and possess humans by creating illusions?

Side note: in Islam, Satan is recognized as one who possess humans by creating illusions.

Wow, man. Sounds to me like the illusions of Western media are almost as bad as the reality of most Middle Eastern countries!

Even before "Western Media" we have had stories of supernatural feats and superhuman powers and the trials and tribulations of demi-gods. But instead of coming from a TV or radio, they typically came from people like shamans, tribal elders, and even parents telling their children bedtime stories. And what undoes your entire argument, especially today, is these are not promoted as real.

When and where did people not seek illusions?

Because this never happens anywhere else

You sure seem to hate western society a lot for someone using a computer or mobile device.

Stop blaming the west for your shortcomings. Always looking to blame somebody else. Real men take responsibility for their own lives and destinies.

Forget about the animosity between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the sectarian tension between Shi'as and Sunnis in general, the cultural regression of the Gulf states in particular (but not only those), and the fact that a few Western countries have done more to aid Syrian refugees than many Middle Eastern countries combined. The West is evil and all of those countries are just victims of this evil.

We crows often watch humans doing what humans do, and wonder what makes them the way they are.
They often seem almost intelligent, but even so, are clearly quite mad.

They imported them and you know it. They is a huge conspiracy going around 9/11 anyways. How in the world did the passport of the terrorist who apparently was in the plane, ends up to be perfectly fine? This is an example how west media is breeding illusions. They import warriors and blame it on Islam. Those warriors then go around saying other nations came to destroy Islam, which is falsehood, they came for oil. Why in the world would one spend billions of dollars to destroy Islam?

Shh, your not supposed to say those things..you'll mess up the illusion.

My favorite story telling has become live action role playing. Of course I'm not really a Dark Elf, but "next moon" I have a serial killer to find and flay alive for messing with a group I just started to befriend. No TV, no radio (you'll actually get lectured and earn an infraction point for having such things out), nothing but our minds and imagination to "paint" this fantasy world of make-believe. For me, I'd say it's even therapeutic because it gives me something to look forward to. Especially for me, as I take things so literal and serious the rest of the time, it gives me a chance to just not worry or care about my life. It works so great for an escape, in such a way that regular entertainment does for me and a vigorous workout do not, that I actually have to spend a few moments picking my real life back up.

So, what are you trying to say? Are you trying to say pagan culture always been around? So, basically those TV shows promote pagan beliefs. Right?

Hey, that is a good idea. Let's all campaign for more pagan beliefs in TV.

 

[Flame]

A majority of people are able to separate the "illusions" from reality, knowing they are nothing more then fiction.

Hey hey. Ya missed mine.

Promoting Pagan beliefs??? Clearly you missed my point and read much into it: story telling has always been around with us, likely even before modern homo sapiens (homo erectus and neanderthalensis do appear to have been capable of abstract thought). Even during Christianized Medieval Europe we had story tellers, and epics, and poems, and songs.
Literally, you are trying to blame Western Culture for something that in all reality existed long before any of us left Africa.

middle eastern have ISIS, which to me looks like a creation by the west for the purpose to attack Syria
