Throughout all of history, history is propaganda. It vilifies or glorifies according to agenda. The common folk are to remember the past in a way that legitimizes those in power. History changes as power shifts.
The fiction of today is like the legends of old. It is about reality but as fantasy. It may be propaganda but cannot thrive unless the common folk enjoy it. The stories must be entertaining, regardless of their message.
I distrust anything historical or scientific. They are political first and foremost. My first question is, “Why do they want me to believe this?” Who are “they?” you may ask. “They” call themselves history and science. “They” are actually people and people are untrustworthy.
I prefer legends to history. I would rather enjoy a fantasy than learn a lie.
Entertainment is more than gratification. It is the things that energize us. We are thrilled or amused and invigorated accordingly.
Those in power bore us with their spouting of nonsense. They claim that we should disbelieve our own eyes and instead trust their supposed facts. They have “experts” to “confirm” their claims: More strangers telling us to disbelieve our own eyes. I am not so stupid.
The world is at it was and shall always be. So be it. I still
have the legends. I still have fiction. These things are being corrupted, but I
still have my favorites. I write and illustrate my own fiction. I share it. The
uninspiring nonsense of the mighty shall not prevail.
The mainstream protesteth too much when it comes to Graham Hancock. If his claims were truly basis, then they would have nothing to worry about. No one worth worrying about would believe him any more than they do in Reptilians. Their problem is, his claims RING TRUE. Contrary to their slander against him, he DOES provide evidence, lots of it. We are supposed to believe the plutocracies "experts" on the authority of the Plutocracy.
ReplyDeleteI think we talked about this ironically concerning Caligula. It's possible his story might simply be propaganda, but it was probably more interesting than his actual life.
ReplyDeleteYes. The Legend of "Bloody Mama" Ma Barker was the FBI covering its mistake when it accidently killed an old woman during a raid. The lie inspired a fascinating concept and an entertaining movie. Imagination made right what reality got wrong. It happens often. We are only disappointed when we learn the legend was not true.
DeleteBe wary of anyone who expects to be trusted. Those who are worthy will earn what they get. They will demonstrate the value of what they say.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Only the untrustworthy are angered by you taking a peek behind the curtain.
