With which tools does modern life enslave us?
In modern life, everyone feels as free as possible, but very few of us actually have a truly free spirit. This is because people are easily enslaved by the current system. So, by what means does modern life enslave us?
One of the clearest signs of being prone to slave psychology is being a slave to mainstream TV broadcasts. Because it is now a scientifically proven fact that the TV series, reality shows and commercials that flash before your eyes all day long manipulate human perception. Especially the disinformation-laden content published by the mainstream media under the title of "journalism" and publications that always have negative connotations are no different from a brainwashing machine that turns people into addicted zombies over time.
Politics, by its very essence, is far from being a tool that aims to change the world for the better. Politicians often hide behind empty promises and meaningless arguments in order to gain power. Therefore, ardent support for a politician or a political party means that the politicians' policies of enslavement of society have achieved their goal.
Believing that shopping relieves you of your troubles. Do you believe that by shopping and spending money you can overcome the things that upset and overwhelm you in life? If yes, you are not a free spirit. Because fashion trends, ever-changing trends and flashy advertising campaigns are just a game designed to make big corporations make more money.
Blind adherence to a religious belief Although religions and belief systems often contain lessons of virtue and spirituality, accepting these belief systems without question and living your whole life according to these ingrained beliefs takes away your mental freedom. Over time, this behavior will also rob you of your imagination and your ability to react to injustice, and your quality of life will rapidly decline.
One of the worst aspects of the current economic system is that it forces people into debt through credit cards, bank loans, etc., forcing them to work in jobs they don't like. If your life is on a similar path, buying more than you need and working in a job you don't like to pay for it, then you are not fully liberated.
Not paying attention to what you eat Your body is the temple of your soul. That's why you can't treat it like a trash can, in which you have to live your whole life. Consuming industrial foods based on the colorful packages you see on the grocery shelves or the appetizing commercials on TV is nothing more than trapping yourself in an addiction.
Because over time, these foods you consume will create addiction in your body and impair your health. Of course, we don't think the billion-dollar food industry will complain about this!
One of the most toxic habits imposed on society by the system is uncontrolled drug consumption. Because medicines are extremely easy to access nowadays. If we take into account that there are hundreds of thousands of people suffering from painkiller addiction in the US, we can see that the system is working like clockwork.
