Idolization is the future of propaganda It's like a lite

How long until we have gang wars with cults fighting each other in the name of their fav J-Pop idol?

Anon, that's how society has always worked. You must be new here.

But you're probably right that the greater flow of information thanks to the internet will only increase this phenomenon.
Stuff like fandoms are only as prominent because the internet allows like minded people to gather together and form a community despite geographical seperation.

I work in media and stuff like gamification is really gaining traction at the moment.
It's fascinating to watch how easy it is to completely suspend people's critical thinking by using ideology driven games and reward systems.

I donmt know how exactly future societies will look like, but Huxley's Brave New world is probably fairly close.
Chyna is already experimenting with a game like system that essentially determines how much of a good citizen you are.

Currently the west is protected from this kind of stuff because our system has checks and balances to prevent any institution from gaining that mich power, but if we keep eroding our system this is what will happen to us too.

Actually it's the present, probably always been the case, recently though it became much more realistic to achieve with the media and the internet.

They gave it a try during the last presidential election, even though they didn't go all out, I guess they were just testing the waters this time, video related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaMaeNK_gqs

>lmao I'm famous and rich™ vote the way I tell you

communist revolution can't come soon enough

>>2168976
You're a fool if you think communism would fix that, if anything it'll make the idea of propoganda absolute, there won't be a need to beating around the bush.

With as many problems as we currently face, one of our stronger points is that we can see through the bullshit like in the video I posted, the actions we can take are a different story however.

"Gamification" is already a very real thing companies do.

That's not as far fetched as it may seem.
Pokemon Go is a perfect example of how augmented reality games are capable of influencing to do things IRL.
There have already been stampedes and mass brawls over that game.
Imagine some devious company exploiting that for it's own means.

>>2168989
If you think that what we have now is gamification, just wait until work turns into play time and you have to grind credits flipping burgers so you can afford to open more chests at Walmart.
From a psychological standpoint, that stuff is literally like drugs.
The human mind simply does not have the capacity to distinguish between what is real and what is not, so games are the perfect way to manipulate people into behaving how you want by rewarding desired behaviour and punishing undesired behaviour.

What we see now is jackshit compared to what will happen if technology advances while human society degenerates.

Hillary supporters are actually those that embodie it the most
