We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear’s work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.
Joseph Goebbels
I don’t think it’s the propaganda machine (or maybe this is), but in the US, almost nothing is reported from other countries. If 100,000 people died in some wild natural disaster outside the US, we would get almost no real details, but we would get the full life story of the one American that was killed who was from New Jersey. It’s just the way our media is. No real information. Just dumb sap stories.
It’s the same reason the Republicans haven’t been able to identify when they’re ingesting blatant Russian propaganda. They’ve never seen or heard it before outside of their favorite American talking head.
I see dbz, I upvote.
I don’t know what it is about this show, but there are moments that cause me to get chills that travel up and down my spine. Like Gohan confidently marching toward Cell with his one handed Kamehameha. Or Frieza realizing he pushed Goku a bit too far. The only other show or movie that has done that was maybe the first Matrix. Which… if you think about it, contains very similar ideas. That being the only limit to your power is the one you place on yourself.
I can’t help but tie this theme to lucid dreaming. In your dreams, you can have all these powers, but first, “You have to let it all go. Fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind.”
