Manipulation == new way of life??
Okay, it's sad to think, but if a person were to just glance around for a minute, it'd seem that manipulation makes the world go around now and days far more than money does, even though money as bribery is also a form of manipulation.
Sure there was manipulation back in my day, but back then people were more subtle about it and did it more in secret and/or behind closed doors. Now and days people don't hide anything much anymore, nor have much humility or subtlety. Even gross manipulation in relationships in certain cases can be viewed as domestic abuse.
Now if you gander around it'd seem we're bombarded with manipulation 24/7. Everywhere you look or listen these days there are advertisements, that's one form. Another can be seen in the workplace, even with little white lies, like when the worker that's not actually sick calls in sick or even when a worker makes a fuss about work that's in there job description already, and suddenly acts as though a portion of their job that they've been doing all along is suddenly below them and suddenly they expect extra for parts of their job that they dissect off of their overall tasks to make them suddenly seem like extra.
We also might recall a huge form of manipulation from the 90s and early 2000s when we experienced what I like to refer to as "lawsuit fever". Back when people would walk into a store, purposely grab an item on the top shelf, then yank it off the shelf to allow it to hit them in the head, and then claim that they were going to sue; I used to witness it a lot way back when I used to work in retail. It set up two large precedents, one being that it's become super hard to prove lawsuits of such a nature due to the fact that the instant assumption now is that a person is pulling a con, second being that it paved the way not only for mountains of frivolous lawsuits but also the average human being having to be treated like they just woke up from the dark ages. Some may recall the McDonald's hot coffee fiasco; not saying it was a con, as the person got injured badly while seeming genuine, but they drove with a fresh cup of scolding hot coffee, wedged between their thighs, while driving all over. Suppose another precedent it set is nobody having to take responsibility anymore for their own dumb mistakes... I mean, anybody driving with a flimsy cup of scolding beverage squeezed between their thighs should have enough common sense to realize they're going to burn themselves! Yet, they got a sizeable payout, and now the rest of us have to have warnings all over our beverage containers telling us, "hey nitwit, the contents in here is hot and can hurt you" -- which has paved the way for a couple generations of extreme coddling!
But all that aside, two huge forms of manipulation today are political and ideological. Political manipulation seems to happen nonstop anymore; when people don't get their way to go on huge marches where they smash windows, burn buildings, attack people, throw rocks at cops, and crucify any opposition via dog-pile mobs and the court of public opinion... to forcefully get their way, basically by means of domestic terrorism, that's not good at all, especially since it makes them look like thugs and makes people want to hear and/or appease them that much less. Especially now the way some think they can block up highways and intersections. Bad enough when they block people getting to or from work, but there's even insane footage, on multiple occasions, of ambulances with roof lights flashing and sirens wailing being blocked from passing... they're playing with the well-being and survivability of peoples lives at that point!
Now finally ideological manipulation... which is a big one today. Back in the 80s and 90s there was tons of religious ideological manipulation (read that as con jobs), like when you'd have a so-called "preacher" on television telling people that if they wanted into Heaven they had to dial them up and pledge them one-thousand dollars -- listen to Phil Collins song "Jesus He Knows Me", sums it up quite well. However, now, due to completely interconnected social-media there's nonstop so-called politically correct ideological manipulation. I mean, it's rather bizarre, to say the least, when the same people that would tell you it's so wrong to use words like bossy, or man, don't even flinch when people depict the POTUS beheaded, or run through with a spear, or celebrate when police get killed, or claim, that when people get beaten in the streets simply because they utilized their freedom of backing the candidate of their choice, that the people had it coming to them, or even hail and celebrate people like Fidel Castro while wanting to yank down every statue of our forefathers, remove even the most positive parts of religion from the public, kneel disrespectfully to the National Anthem meant to honor those that fought and died for their freedoms, and even attempt to rewrite history in PC-twisted ideologies to suit their agendas!
Not to mention the continual and constant blatantly fake propaganda news the liberal media keeps putting out there; there's been so much damage and misinformation done so far, that the country is aiming to end up in a holy war where each side will be propping up their political ideologies as though they were religious principals. There's so much ignorance and misinformation out there that it'd be virtually impossible to set the record straight for all those that have been misinformed. Just the other day was watching a gameshow where a female contestant actually answered a question saying that Trump is hurting the country by killing off jobs and making them go away while also systematically taking away veteran benefits... where it's factually in the records if a person wanted to look it up to be the exact opposite of what she was preaching (Democrats traditionally are the ones behind causing jobs, business, and industry to relocate overseas) -- similarly to how liberal Democrats want to convince everybody that Lincoln was a Democrat and that Republicans are to blame for slavery... yet, if you research the actual history, whitehouse.gov lists Lincoln in his bio as one of the earlier Republican presidents, and history points out that it was Democrats in favor of slavery, hence why Lincoln, as a Republican, became so famous for working to abolish slavery, when Democrat controlled colonies didn't want to comply with the new federal mandates (much like modern California).
So remember, before these demented individuals attempt to manipulate you via shaming, harassing, preaching, or berating... perhaps said individuals need to take a long hard look in the mirror and realize that they're merely projecting out of their own self-denial. xD
