Real Culture and Consumer Culture

What world we live in.. Regional custom culture and tradition has now been displaced with a commercial culture where the protagonists have optimized the efficiency of this phenomena and machine simply by the use of the media and with commercials. One has to wonder why the propensity and tendency for people to be seduced and influenced by cultural icons, cultural commercials phenomenas is linked to their inherent lack of identity and deprivation of actual real culture that was ordained once and for all.. and they seek to fulfill that empty space by fulfilling a consumer driven action and urge that inherently does not satisfy. When one learns about the dynamic of how these systems are organized and influence people with herd mentality and with the missing out factor", one can glean why corporations and brands understand that when people live hollow, shallow lives and who are removed from their cultural roots and identity, then the fake cultural icons they produce are more accepted and more successful and are able to penetrate that barrier by which a person of little benown, becomes a close and confided friend of whom you would buy a ticket to their concert, all because their image was circulated on the media.. and all because they were promoted and circulated as new religious icons which we should pay homage to. you may be enticed in order to conform to a group think and this phenomena is linked with a larger group where individual thinking and creativity is replaced for consumer driven ideas and events that dilute the image of our real identity and what we really enjoy and like to do with out spare time that would gratify us and make us happy. Mostly these commercial brand phenomenas are driven by a missing out factor where people are driven to the ideals of fashion, trends where statually economically and now culturally, one is acting to do what progressive life expects them to to undertake. In other words, people are now happy to be consumers and not producers of content and events, rather people are conditioned to associate their happiness and well being by partaking in other peoples productions at exorbitant prices because their lives are deprived of narrative, content, cultural connection meaning and purpose which tradition, custom gave us in the beginning. It is in our innate natural desire to want to watch theatricals and be entertained and no doubt this is blameless in our constitution, but the level by which these platforms are being pushed up into our cultural orbit and sphere is unhealthy and un natural and reduce us not to participators or people who enjoy creative arts and music etc but as shire consumers who are expected to behave predictably like consumers. not for the sake of participating in productions that elevate, inspire and motive us as humans but merely to facilitate a social need of conforming to the status quo.. To many it may seem insane that people would buy a product simply because they paid a major star to pitch the product but this money is not wasted for no reason...People's new world is struck into the fantasy where media celebrities and stars seem to have a relationship with us... we have feelings, ideas and experiences about this person that mirror very closely to experiences we would have if we had known that person in real life .. we rationalize that we know this person and their music and art they make and in some cases we can make assessments about their character, persuasions etc... but we still do not know them, but we think we do.. and so we therefore facilitate the need to build relationships with people we do not know because our own cultural reality and orbit is deprived of real role models, friends and relationships that positively identify us in our natural cultural space of engagement. They now can build associations in 3D life we everyday regular objects we buy and consume everyday where this stars influence in pitching a certain lifestyle or product seal a certain amount of validation to these products as if these stars naturally decided to buy and endorse these products on their own free will and volition without being paid off. The associations of glamour, rarity, specialiness, validation , sense of belonging, sense of feeling good, etc are 3D brnad placement goals to replace all those cultural and religious norms of a normal society into the phenomena of a commercial society... it is deliberate. It is tied up to a religious psychological fantasy where by a person is merely overcome by the mere fact that this person is famous like a demi god, because this person is not exactly appreciated for his work or art in an objective fashion.. marketing phenomenas cannot just work n this morbid principle of people recognition, the feelings are unmistakenably religious.. marketing needs you to irrationally idolize this person simply because they are famous and then what they do and what they drink becomes so intricately special to you.. so they are religious leader and cultural leaders of our generation...it is attracting that part of our constitution faculties and make up of our human constitution that idolizing idols to the extent of almost worshipping.. Brand placement with advertising and movies is so strong and pervasive in our culture that we blur the lines between fiction and fantasy in our lives.. we cannot separate the idea that these people are merely entertainers who's image only became known to us from a device that reproduces and duplicates image of a mass scale level and seek to condition us to associate ideas, attitudes and feelings just by their identity or the image they are promoted in... they are celebrated like in a church of icons and are the cultural validators of the consumer experience of a whole conveyorbelt of items that they choose to endorse and placate our loyalities to. it is stemmed in materialism and money and these people are seen as highly successful and therefore well adjusted people and we are moved when we see them more for what feelings they conjure in us... it is the a raw primal power of celebrity, lights that is unmistakenably religious in nature. This is where it becomes unreasonable and disturbing. In a society where their are no role models where notions of community have been demolished, where the right to organise your own parties and create experiences has been made illegal because corporations want to be the narrators of those parties , the creators of your cultural icons and the owners of your experience.. so that you are pre disposed to buying and consuming in the experiences they promote when all they are are products like canned soup.. The space by which one makes their own entertainment is now perceived as devoid of fame and notoriety. That space is reserved for the commercial sphere to organise corporations are the sole purveyors of culture... Many well to do people may visit greece on the proviso that the country is a circus or a playground for their own personal indulgence... They narrate their own self worth and identity merely because they are products of purchase to a corporation who produced a identity, image or phenomena as a vehicle to push new products.. They can complain about a donkey who is carrying too much of a load , while horses and animals throughout the world are killed on a consistent commercial basis for the maximum derivation of profit... We live in a world that perceives information and items as commodities to be exploited for the sake of profit, while the raw data of truth is distorted, smeared and exploited in order to seduce and caricature a certain desired image or identity in order to duplicate and sell products. when someone has a strong sense of their own cultural identity stemmed from their history, nationhood and culture and also from their own individuality and own destiny where they can produce ,create in real life then one is no longer influenced by these fake commercial products and phenomenas that constantly leave us in a state of anxiety and poor so to keep up with the latest trends and actions we have to keep up with in life...They all vy for a space in our mind and reduce our individuality to consumer dependence and conformity. Their are movements in marketing that want to nurture the fact of villification that promotes the idea of rejection alienation of people who do not accept their products as people are living without milk, shelter or subsistence things and then as castigated as the bad people .... if you did not have an iphone, most certainly you would be singled out.. it would at least appear as unusual and eccentric and yet because of the barometer of cultural change they narrate, it appears from the onset as crazy to not own one.... When people are divided and never unite they make profitable units for television ratings who maximise the exposure of their advertising dollar in the capacity of consumers not participators.... we are constantly messaged about how we should act, what we should buy and what we should be doing....... Nicholas Lazarou

How Ironic

How ironic that people are educated about how marketing works through this program and yet cannot see how institutions like the human rights commission use marketing as a ploy to create fake grass roots movements and create cultural taboos discourses, cliches and narratives that condition people to view with distorted filter lense .... the arbitrary wholesale and stigmatization of the human experience into narrow diluted spectrums in order to convey the perception and the impression that the civil right to vent, express and disagree can be rebranded and remarketed and re engineered as sexual harrassment.. the fact that the human rights commission did not make a specific choice in the questionaire and provide clear definable alternative pathway in the marketing survey, essentially, allowed them to hoard up all complex human experiences & categorized them between two polarities worthy of a cheap english tabloid 1 sexual harrassment 2 no sexual harrassment. . so effectively in marketing circles.. surveys and the use of science or pseudo science can be used as a validator and influencer to make credible their observations and assessments in order to meet their marketing strategic objective. with the support of their image as infallible priests of philanthropy in the temple of capitalism.

ADVERTISING SUBSIDISES DEMOCRACY

Gruen Transfer So4E01 from 24 minutes in . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bzAhy7indI It started well Advertising is the cancer of democracy... and then the panel guest reasserts that the real cancer of democracy is the inability to communicate. advertising does not solve anything but what it can be is communicate". Advertising does not have to be evil, but generally the nature of the industry is to pulp up the benefits of a product and create imagery that evokes an emotion in you that wants to place the brand in your life. Advertising in the political and information realm does more than communication it distorts reappropriates redefines , segregates and narrates a more appeasable and political correct rendition of the truth.. Here the panel are debating about the value of advertising in our society.. Here is the test to showcase what their real sediments are and exposes how the Gruens Transfer is not about educating people about how advertising works to seduce your irrational senses , but a phenomena that understands perfectly well its place in relation to the powers and the elite. Mining companies campaigns." u can call press conference and press release and rely on media... or get your media money and spend millions and spend millions of dollars getting the public to see your point of view"... Here is where the episode gets sinister and exposes the dark side of advertising. ADVERTISING SUBSIDISES DEMOCRACY.....HE SAID IT!! HORSES MOUTH.He forgot to put a filter.... to prove a point. ... he continues.!!!! The money spent in media via advertising the wealthier the media companies are and wealthier they feel the more journalists they can employ and the more journalists they employ the more they would scrutinise whats going on in government." This is his public relations hat or attempt to side wash or white wash the previous point he made about how advertising will ensure companies can push their point of view against media..point of view... and then contradicts himself with the above statement So the first point was about utilising advertising and marketing to prevent the media from telling the story how it is and then finds a cheesy conduit to justify this expenditure in advertising to cover up mining company sins and dirty business by stating that this money that is contributed will in turn be given to media companies to employ more journalists to scrutinise the government. The thread and conduit of flimsy justification is an attempt to portray the ends justifies the means..he does not make a distinction between government or mining... he will take their money for advertising. so evil justifies good and they both need eachother to exist . a vice is necessary for a virtue... an advertisers mind trying to haughtily place advertising as an idol of worship in the holy temple of capitalism. So to get it straight he resounds the idea that big corporations or the government can employ advertising to dictate and dominate the discourse and dissemination of information in the media to cement their point of view which is usually to hide their bad record of polluting the environment etc. and use advertising to effect a lie against a truth and then that money made can then serve democracy by employing journalists to uncover what the government is doing... the level of contradiction is demonic since journalists role is to perform the edicts of the editor who ensures content is politically correct and enterprisingly acceptable and submissible content for the stakeholders. so he lies on both counts and stretches out this lie to such an extent that he refashions virtue for vice and vice for virtue. He placed advertising industry as a important organ for the operation of the democratic process and completely ignores the un naturalness of this system and how the lack of people power and their ability to influence government has allowed for a vacuum and market for the advertising to fill... the void of the democracy glut where corporations are . the willing volunteers to replace the people as the imprint and organ and transmitter or as the panel man called it.. the subsidizer of democracy. This reminds me of politicians who had done bad or gained a bad reputation or corporations for that matter and then officially use the media to show their good deeds to charity in order, not to help with inequality and . welfare issues, but to fix their image in the eyes of the media as they are very aware how image and brand work for the career prospects of the candidate. The guy who is anti capitalism with the red shirt is genuinely perturbed by this powerhouse heavy weight advertiser... and states facts and advertising hold uncomfortable relationship with eachother. ADVERTISING IS DEEPLY HONEST"> WAN..ER> He is the arrogance of a people that believe the place of advertising is natural and necessary, similiar to banks claim that they ensure the health of the economy....or like warlords owning fiefs ensure the spiritual welfare of their human cattle who are in misery but they will ensure their salvation. "It is the seasame street of capitalism." as one panel guest rebuts. you have to have a thriving advertising industry Nicholas Lazarou business marketing degree

Gruen's 5 Yr old tantrum ridicule against important case study.

Series 11 episode 5 Gruen ridicules the media's campaign to inform people how the government keeps secret from people... This riduculing is the advertising itself... he did the government a favour by acting as the trusted spokesman of the advertising industry to the people and his promise to expose the deceiving nature of advertising, contradicts himself according to different political issues... we have a deal they do not ask me how i get my money and i do not tell them how i get mine" [presenter of gruen says] notice the presenter creates a principle and benchmark for how he would like his audience to view the government in a unquestionable trust situation...Their is no redeeming feature or evaluation about this concerning campaign created by the media as they are very intimate with how government keeps secrets and uses lawyers and suppression orders to keep crucial information the public need to know. Notice that the presenter finds this media campaign abhorrent as progressive liberals love the idea that the public does not engage and form part of the intervention process ... it ironically touches a sensitive place because if people could form policy than means public relations and advertising does not have such a huge honourable place amongst the feudal brokering houses anymore and he would not smart fart around between which advertisements he thinks are good and bad and which are deceptive... he pluralises the notion of deception by virtue of the ones that he picks and scrutinises rathe than being a principle that is time tested throughout all campaigns...by impartially evaluating all commercials. Acting with sarcasm and a child with a tantrum, here is an instance which forms a barrier to how far progressive liberalism will go. they do not want to expose that progressive liberalism is a fake grass roots movement and bandwagon formulated and engineered by public relations company to spin the lies as truth through the manipulation of marketing. He parades, please tell me which ideas are we not allowed to know? The smart ass knows full well that whistleblowers are persecuted for merely publishing information that is crucial for public dissemination and knows full well how government goes to keep ecrets with raids at murdoch media and ABC... so ........this is what a coward is ... someone who should aid and scrutinise the campaign from all sides rather than ridicule it, but this represents for these inner city trendies issues they do not care for as long as they get their 15% discounts.. progressive liberalism has a limit... it is perfectly fine that these fools are seen to be white knights saving the world from religion but when it comes to real grass root movements which do not have famous people attending charities,, they do not want to mix in with the poor people... they are essentially hypocrites. The insiders are aware than he had just done a spin doctor against the media's campaign... His humour is infantile and not funny at all and it was specifically formulated from an ideological point of view.. ABC would never do a campaign like the mainstream media who have to work for a buck.. ABC gets all its funding from the government.

Nico's Gruen Blog Part 1

Notice the technique advertisers use to manipulate the public... On the overpopulation 22 NOV segment, The pro double population made a reference that in order to shape opinion you take what people accept and then distort it to your liking[not verbatim]]] This is how these advertisers think, they are fully aware that they can influence and shape the way people believe by manipulation and recategorisation and reconnontation of subject matter and discourses in order to gain acceptance... This the same platform that advocates of the same sex marriage used in order to self prophesize their own acceptance fully knowing that by advertising on Gruen, even though it is a light tongue in check non serious entertainment, this business is very serious and criminals usually like to show the tracks of the crime as they go....which should act as a clue to how these culture creators do not just try to sell you soup and pay television but information is the biggest commodity war... The emphasise on these programs exists because in a bureocracy, people dissemiinate their information through the media which publishes press packets sent by stakeholders who want to offload their advertising and twist onto the public.. people do not grass roots issues to the forum of debate for active change and campaigning.. it is engineered in the department of an NGO or corporation who promote and inflate issues like domestic violence in order to appease stakeholders/ These devils knowing of the constitutional deficiencies of a feudal governement love the meglamanic power of becoming culture creators and leverage their position to influence people to buy what they want them to buy. what these smart alics do not tell you is that gruen is a real advertising platform that positons itself as a light entertainment program that claims to highlight the deceits of marketing and advertising... public relations is about lying, it is about distorting the truth in such a way as to present the benefit of a product through seduction of senses, creating subliminal connontations and associating and branding trends, behaviours and ideas so that a person is engineered to be conditioned to be inclined to think in the way that they want you to. double diplomacy --we should not attack those who have wealth ,but teach people how to make wealth. how these concepts contradict eachother realistically and philosophically but pragmatically a person can seaprate the two as slogan mottos and brands that automatically make people accept the status quo of the double diplomacy without criquing the iherent contradiction between the two concepts. series 11 Episode 4 Humans are Brands . being a influencer is about monetizing yourself. Mental illness commercials aim to build the perception that mental illness is more widely prevailant than first believed. But dictating statistics they hope that this becomes a self fulfilled prophecy since their is no way . they can know that this many people suffer from illness especially as their a range of reasons for peoples depression that can be treated by food diet exercise where this commercial is biased since they promote the idea that all mental illness needs to be treated with drugs despite dangerous side effects. How ironic that people are educated about how marketing works and yet cannot see how institutions like the human rights commission use marketing as a ploy to create fake grass roots movements and create cultural taboos and discourses... something these editors on gruen will never do... .hey woman.... .because a real man tells the truth.. not act like a coward.
