Yeah, I even felt weird using the word spectrum. I'm visualizing a 3-dimensional gradient where each individual point in space reflects a unique sexuality. It's about as unique to you as your fingerprint. It's insane to me that we had such black and white categories for so much of our history.
Tbh it's this fact that makes me glad I've done nothing to enter the public consciousness. I'd rather not be remembered for my countless mistakes and bad takes.
Fortunately, the wealthy aren't a race of people, so it isn't considered genocide if I begrudgingly devour each and every one of them for the good of mankind. Checkmate moralists.
The cool thing about a propagandized population is it creates something akin to a hivemind people. All you really have to do is determine whether or not X person has fallen victim to a certain flavor of propaganda, and it's a decent indicator of whether or not that person believes several other falsehoods and behaves in accordance with actions laid out by the source of the propaganda. MAGA is a solid example of a propagandized people who behave and believe in very predictable ways: They skew alt-right, believe Trump is good for the country, range from racially apathetic to completely racist, champion capitalism and billionaires, are unable to be swayed by new information that runs counter to their established narrative, are aggressively white and Christian, and they generally align with Republican politicians across the board, as long as those politicians are in the same realm of insanity that Trump inhabits. MAGA is a philosophy born and raised by bad faith propaganda.
If someone calling out a shit company for being a shit company stops all companies from wanting to hire that person (note: I'm not saying you're wrong about this), more people should be calling out the fact that every single company in America outright regards themselves as shit companies with no intention of changing that fact. That's a far-reaching systemic failure that should not go unchecked. I'm sure most of these influencers know damn well what the risks are, and those risks are part of the problem mate.
Yes, people like me buy TVs. I'm the guy who keeps giving away perfectly good TVs to other people because I've bought a new one and don't want to store the old one. I've given away 2 smart TVs so far, though I'm not sure what I'll do with my current one when I inevitably upgrade.
I like to think consciousness is just a higher self that creates a projection that we understand to be our "self". The projection and its source are both representations of the same self, making my thoughts a product of my self. Or in other words, I can claim to be the author of my own thoughts.
It sounds like an anecdotal experience with a single person has shaped your opinion on millions of people you have yet to encounter into a brutally negative one. Your flags are much redder than you may realize.
Those cryptic prompts go pretty hard.
