Whether you agree with it or not, most(ie ALL) goverments use one or several means to control thier populous to varying degrees. Several classics are fears and oppression. There is also religious manipulation. And media manipulation is always getting worse. There are culture modifying laws. The education system (or lack of) seems really effective as well. And of course there are the various conspiratorial type activities like organizations that make certain things occur, and put certain information out. And the wacky, but fun, realm of brainwashing and the neurolinguistic arts.
My question is which method/s yoo feel are most "wrong", if any. And which ones you feel are "okay", if any. Do you consider this type of thing an immutable fact of life today, and are merely glad that a certain less destructive form effects you? Or do you delude yourself into blissful ignorance? Or perhaps you are actually personally benefiting from it, or favor it for some other reason? I myself admire this artform when done right. It has a playing-god type quality to it, molding large groups of humans, and herding them in certain directions.
I'm too tired to spell correctly right now.
