A thought disorder is never noticed by the person affected – not even by you.
No Masters. Just Nostr:
The most dangerous manipulation isn't the lie you see through, but the opinion you mistake for your own. It slipped in between the third swipe and the fourth breaking news alert, unchecked and unnoticed. Three days later, you can't remember if you read it, heard it, or even thought it yourself. You only know one thing: you now hold that opinion.
Not with a single, large-scale fraud that could be exposed, but with a flood that robs you of any chance to fully consider one claim before the next one comes along. The Viennese psychiatrist Raphael Bonelli dissects this mechanism in a conversation with Sören Schumann as a collective thought disorder, and the insidious thing about it is built in: the person affected never notices the thought disorder.
Pre-chewed, swallowed, digested
In the past, news provided facts, and you formed your own opinion. Today, the judgment comes along in the same sentence: "controversial" here, "renowned" there, and the reader is expected to nod along to what's been spoon-fed to them. The ultimate challenge: telling you that your own experience is wrong. The inflation is long over; only your shopping list hasn't caught on. The light isn't flickering; you're imagining it. Anyone familiar with this tone from a relationship will recognize it immediately , except now the sender is a newsroom.
In the end, we're left with a society that proudly proclaims its own opinion, never realizing it's just yesterday's news. It lets others do the thinking for it and calls this "being informed." And anyone who loudly proclaims that it's raining while everyone else raves about the sunshine isn't seen as the only one with eyes, but as the only one with a problem!

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called.
