Totalitarianism
Common to all definitions is the attempt to mobilize entire populations in support of the state and a political or religious ideology. Seems that is what we are headed for. Let's look at "reality" TV. There is nothing real about it. No one in the US is ever going to fly on the own accord to a desert island and eat grubs. That just isn't real. Real is trying to get a job. No one is going to rent a crane and hang upside down trying to do something. Real is trying to get your car to pass the OBDll inspection. No one is going to voluntarily join a coalition to sell Donald Trump products, then asked to be fired on national television. That is not real. Real is trying to feed your children. The only way such a misinterpretation of "reality" could occur would be because, those involved are smoking crystal meth or crack, or because they have too much money and have lost sight of the needs of the true American. I guess most TV producers are mommy's boys or are on drugs. For example, all our late night hosts. It used to be back in the days of pre-GE NBC, David Letterman was on the cutting edge. He was pre-baby, aggressive, and funny. Now he is Ed Sullivan. Craig Kilborne had a nice show, but they got rid of him . Now we have this happy immigrant that must be drunk each and every show. He's just too happy. I can't stand to watch it. Nobody can be that happy. Carson Daily. Frat boy. Throw away. Jimmy Kimmel. Fat guy. What the fuck has happened? Oh, Totalitarianism, an attempt to mobilize an entire population in support of the state and political or religious ideology. The Christian Coalition? Let's examine that hypocritical institution. Let's say we support and represent Christianity, then let's distort that view for political gain. Red flags should be going up all over the place.
