Let me tell you a story, Holla Forums. I am immensely thankful if you please read this and try to think and feel what I do:
You have all heard "be yourself", "freedom of choice", "success breeds success", "there is many sides to me" etc. Now don't get me wrong, I am in full support of celebration of individualistic freedoms, democracy and opposed to authoritarianism. But look at the very core of these similar slogans song lyrics of Radiohead's "Fitter Happier" song lists many of these cheesy slogans to a sarcastic effect and you'll see they are not designed to help or serve the proles. I mean, if you work 2 jobs, struggle to pay rent and have to count your cents every day, what "success" or "freedom" would be HIM AND ONLY HIS to utilize? No. These slogans are designed by porky, for the porky.
Let's see - Porky takes expensive meditation course, and realizes that to be himself, he needs to act more spiritually. He pays for feng shui experts to rearrange his furniture, he buys a little house in the mountains for better meditation and so on. Doing this, he practices a "freedom of choice" in choosing to become more spiritual. Through spirituality, he probably develops better manners/kinder personality, which impresses the public and fellow porkies, which helps towards realizing his business goals, as the worth of his brand grows.
Now, take a prole. He wants to become more spiritual too, but can't afford meditation courses, and even if he could, there is no chance in hell he could afford to take couple of weeks in row off from work and family. He could try to read materials on the internet and talk to like-minded people, but as much as he would like to meditate every day at a certain time, he doesn't have the authority to arrange a special circumstance for this - it could be that his wife would call him selfish for not attending to children after a long day at work, it could be that his friend would call any minute and be offended if his calls wouldn't be returned, or he would be simply too exhausted after work and needs bed time he can't afford to lose, while porky has assistants and secretaries to act as a buffer in case porky needs time completely alone with himself or with a business partner(s) to establish connections.
Let's be real here - personal development through individualism is indoctrination propaganda designed to take people who resonate with it, and turn them into "self-made porkies", which in turn would ensure bigger capital accumulation, thus ensuring neoliberalism will never fail because of lack of manpower when it comes to mananging the capitalist system or keeping it running.
Porky of ancient rome loved drama and spectacles, so they invested a lot to run the gladiator games (at the expense of killing half of the fauna of northern africa) to indoctrinate roman populace into growing fond of spectacles, through which they accepted the empire. In medieval europe, porky was religious, so he utilized religion to indoctrinate the proles into religion so they could relate to medieval porky's goals and desires, but it was also designed in a way that porky always had a "divine power". How little has changed - today, you can hardly criticize the kind, philanthropic, humanistic and educated porky or accuse them of anything - if you try, he will tell you that you are a good human for being concerned, and you are being heard - but tomorrow will be the same, porky does what he does. When you see that criticism does nothing, and you result to more resolute methods like justice system, the army of lawyers and lobbysts will defeat you every time. If you give up on lawful methods and result to violent opposition, you will be labeled as terrorist and taken down by police and water cannons.
All of this only points to one thing - modern world truly has evolved towards a direction where porky is completely untouchable, his ivory tower extends so far to the sky you don't even see the end of it. Porky has strike breakers, mobs of classcucked reactionaries ready to be played against us, police, drones, nukes, lawyers, judges, private prisons, surveillance, dataminers, private security, astroturfers, marketing shills, entire branches of governments to bail them out - on top of all of this vile, rotten machine, his message is the one of peace, human rights, democracy, tolerance and diversity, which never reflects in any of the actions porky takes outside the vision of mainstream media.
IS NEOLIBERLIST CAPITALISM TRULY THE PERFECT APPARATUS TO CONTROL HUMANITY ONCE AND FOR ALL?
Seriously, don't bother reading Marx. In all his cynicism, he would drink himself to death and throw the unfinished draft of Das Kapital volume 4 into trashcan seeing the magnitude of which this capitalist cancer has grown into inoperable stage. Game Over - humanity has fallen to capitalism, and probably deserves it at this point.
