The
system probably exploits the fact that issues of unemployment,
interceptions, population control and a possible nuclear war, “go
viral”

system failure
It is remarkable how the independent information flowing
through internet changed the balance between non-controlled and
completely controlled information reaching the average viewer by the
mainstream media. Thousands of independent blogs and websites host
information, analyses and opinions which normally would have been
blocked in case that internet had not been invented yet.
It's true of course that there is a lot of
misinformation and propaganda circulated through the internet too, as
the mainstream media also participate in the "web war" of
information, or, due to other independent sources who have their own
secret agenda, but at least, one has the option to find a different
point of view and information, other than that promoted by the
"official channels" of the dominant - currently Western -
systemic establishment.
This is probably the reason that governments already
trying to find ways to control internet and therefore information
flow from every source to every receiver.
However, it seems that, in many cases, governments or
other systemic decision centers, exploit internet, guiding public
opinion and independent judgement towards the "official
interpretation" of the facts, and this is done not only through
misinformation flow in the web, but also through other methods like,
for example, trolling.
But how useful the uncontrolled part of the internet
would be, in case that the system would want to prepare public for
unprecedented events?
Such an example would be, the information that
unemployment is here to stay due to hyper-automation. As this
information goes viral, and many of us discuss this issue in blogs
and websites, people will eventually get used to the idea that the
unemployment rate would be inevitably high from now on and that they
probably would have to live mostly with state benefits just to
survive and consume, according to the best scenario.
Besides, it is questionable how independent an
information may be, as in many cases, independent websites circulate
information "leaked" by the mainstream media, or, from
sources that their traces lead to a mainstream "official
channel".
In that case, such an "official channel" may
inject information inside the web, the information goes viral, and
finally, people will start to get used to the idea of even the most
terrifying scenarios, like those of a nuclear conflict, or, radical
population control. Then, the system may benefit from the sincere
willing of independent bloggers to whisper the truth.
Although this may sound to you like another "conspiracy
theory", there is plenty of evidence that the supposedly
anarchic and chaotic world of internet, not only is being occupied by
controlled information, but to a significant extent, still permits
the systemic establishment to prevail over the masses through the
enforcement of a dominant culture.
Look for example the millions (or, even billions) of
views, mostly by young people, of music videos of mainstream
pop-stars (which are actually industrial-type manufactured idols). In
most cases the music could be easily characterized as "garbage",
but it's of less importance because the picture is the one that
dominates in music video clips, and frequently dictates a specific
lifestyle. This is a quite blatant case, in which we could say with
little doubt that the fully controlled television has been simply
replaced by another ostensibly uncontrolled medium.
Of course, there is no alternative. We should not ever
return to the "stone age" of the mainstream media monopoly.
There is truly independent, unfiltered information, simply because in
many cases, there in no such thing as a mainstream media hierarchy
in the various internet sources. Therefore, we should always search
and spread this information.
But we should also bear in mind that anything that goes
viral may be used to "train" us to accept the unthinkable.
Just look at the gruesome pictures from Gaza, Ukraine, Middle East
and elsewhere that flood daily the internet and the mainstream media.
They tend to become so common that may eventually transform us into
apathetic zombies. And this is probably one of the key goals of this
brutal system.
