Sinister agenda - Part Six: Collective Madness

Find the other episodes of the "Sinister Drawing" saga by following this link.

However, the sinister drawing also has a side effect that, who knows, might even work against the person who causes it.
Italians, but perhaps not only them, are progressively and inexorably sliding into an abyss of collective madness. They now live in a virtual world where they believe they are involved and engaged in struggles increasingly distant from the fabric of their lives, crises of which they only know what the propaganda feeds them, regardless of the faction they follow.
Once upon a time they argued over the shared fence with the neighbor, the price of eggs, boiler maintenance. Now they gather in the public square and tell each other to fuck off in the name of distant countries, peoples, and events.
Not to mention the time and energy they spend for free, uncritically accepting partisan directives, when for more reasonable and paid requests they do not hesitate to flip the middle finger to their employer.
Truly incredible is the power of propaganda, the thoroughness of the brainwashing imparted.
Goebbels seemed like a loser who, without the rise of Nazism, would have been destined for oblivion. But it is incredible how much talent, even malicious talent, historical events can leave buried or bring to light in an absolutely arbitrary manner.
The Nazis were defeated, of course, but some of their techniques were thoroughly studied.
