I think you meant religion does brainwash people.

I just see religion as the biggest brainwashing promoter. Look at the Christians on Sundays, all Christians go to church on Sundays

Read those books (the books call themselves WAKE) weirdos that the witnesses of joeva offer, when you read those books (wake) that the witnesses of jeova offer, you change, those books make you brainwash like abiblia and the Qur'an of the Muslims

I look around and see people no longer have goals.
We are perfect consumers. And I can't help thinking that over time, we have been "gently" pushed in this direction.
No more goals, no ideas, ideology, morals or principles. Just having the latest iWhatever, fast car and sleep with plenty of women. Like a new special breed of zombies.
In the past people fought and gave their life for freedom. And now I think we are less free then before. It's just that we are persuaded otherwise. Like in ancient Rome - bread and circus.

Seeing this thread now, I won't be able to agree that we are not more free the fight for more freedom is still very much alive but the approach is what changes as the era of violence has gone. What we have now is to press further and change the situation of things via our mobile. Several government positions have been altered through Twitter, online petitions, signing of letters, Facebook outlash, elections counted on social media and the avenue to do that without any threat of arrest is freedom on it's own which is not necessarily have to be by protest and processions.

Brainwashing is definitely at work and people use the media and social media as a means to carry out these things, we are living in an era where we believe that buying of things makes us happy, Advertisement is the medium where brainwashing is carried out, They tell what we need and we end up buying them, who on earth would someone buy a new Iphone every single year.

People no longer need to fight for their basic freedoms, at least in most democracies. It just that consumerism is showing some of its unattractive aspects. One is "decision paralysis". "Oh all those bags, I want them all but can only buy one. But there's so many of them,". Then after that comes "buyer's remorse". "Could I have been more attractive to him had I used that rather than this?".

Now if you think this only applies to merchandise, you're wrong. How many of you has known someone who can't decide on which of their various interests to follow, or have a friend who was always pining for "the one that got away,".

sounds like good goal to me Tongue

Sounds like a declining society Wink

Well, we live in a society where money is important. With wages barely rising, getting more bang for your bucks is an achievement in itself.

We have become blindly obeying the state arrangement, from birth to now, until we die, do not have their own subjective ideas, in order to adapt to society, we have to earn a lot of money, so as to make their lives become meaningful.

Not just the brain washing tool, it's with the social media standards and being aware of others and being insecure with it. Do not be afraid of the things that can come because it's only you who can control what you see and what you intake, don't let others fool you too.

I think all of us have goals in each and everyone's life. Surviving is one of the goals right? We should survive in every crisis in our life. Goal can be a short term or longer term.

Definitely. Everyone have goals and we do it even on everyday basis like deciding on what to do or to eat. Then after deciding to plan what to do or eat for the next couple of days, we have a plan. So it is not correct to say that we do not have goals anymore. Maybe goals that is for a long term like you are really planning for the future. But still many people still do have that and most probably those persons were the one who succeeds the most.

Yeah.. Many of us are totally brainwashed...
We never want to discover what we should do, we are going to be satisfied what we have, simply in the economic sector, we can't raise our voices against any anti consumer steps, day by day it's getting tougher for us but we keep going and put up everything...we are just behaving like a cowardly manner..

You are wrong on so many things. First of all it is all up to you, what you want to do or want to buy. No one can tell you to buy something you do not want, free will mate. But if you are person who buy and want things because other people want them, than you should put a finger on your head and ask your self, who you are, do you have a personality at all? And you do not need to raise voice against anything, just simple do not buy it, that is all you need to do. Everything is your choice, and your alone.

You very accurately said. Why should we cry that we are not like a crowd? A free and reasonable person does not need to prove anything. He lives as he sees fit. We choose our way every day and this is only our choice

We have to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery.We need to have financial independence to do that. That's why I am a fan of decentralization of currency which bitcoin is my base point. We have been brainwashed, that's true but we need to have a change of view.We need money that's not control by government agency.We have been brainwashed to think that we need hard labour to get to the top.That's is not true. The whole concept is funny to think about. The blockchain technology has try to give us a clear vision of change.The mind needs a re-engineering process.We are gods!

Yes we are brainwashed, and entertained to death like Roger Waters sings.
But we're all brainwashed since day one, 300 years ago as well, go read some Bourdieu.

Unfortunately, era of consumerism is upon us. I have some friends who have no goals, no ambitions. They don't save money because they have nothing to save for (except when they want to buy a new iphone or smth useless). on the other hand they want to travel, see places, get a better job, have a family but still can find a thousand reasons why they can't do all that. This is sad and this is half of young people who I know.

What makes them be like that?

Unfortunately now a lot of people do not want to think for themselves what they really need and what does not. Most are simply consumers, because they are easier when they decide for them.

Because i think people now are getting more stressed out and most of them realizes that life is short so make the most out of it. I have a lot of goals of course but it doesnt mean that i would now prefer to keep everything and even work harder instead i somehow enjoy the things from my hard earned money
