If someone were doing that what propaganda would they be using?

The purpose of this post: To determine & list the ways used to prevent people from reaching the higher level of being

 

If someone were doing that what propaganda would they be using?

 
Anything and everything can be weaponized and is being used to prevent people from turning towards the Higher Level of Being
The simplest weapons - people's own emotions: worry, fear, insecurity, psychological "needs" for: food, their 'comfort zone'...

Anything and everything

Sorry, but you lost the plot.

Things that promote happiness are obviously not being used.

Your answer is a non answer. Like answering the question "which direction should i go?" With "you can go in any direction".

No shit. Does not answer the question .

The post above already listed some broad examples
More specific & recent examples are listed here (see panel #3).

 

Things that promote happiness are obviously not being used.

 
People could immerse themselves in things that promote happiness:
e.g.
- personal well-being (emotional, psychological, physical, spiritual, work-life balance), and
- inter-personal well-being (relationships, gratitude, acts of kindness)
and actually feel happy AND save for the future they look forward to
yet have absolutely no idea what is going on

 
Anything and everything can be weaponized and is weaponized
BECAUSE the systems that set the trajectory for society, are firmly in place
AND everyone is so preoccupied / distracted / mind gatekeeper-ed,
such that the systems are proceeding on the set trajectory - bringing everyone along with them

That is so broad it is meaningless.

You talk a lot and say nothing.

The reality is you can spin everything to sound good or bad. Spinning everything to be a boogieman is stupid and self destructive.

Q: "If someone were doing that what propaganda would they be using?"

 
A: Mind gatekeeping:
 
"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient
is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion,
but allow very lively debate within that spectrum
— even encourage the more critical and dissident views.
That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on,
while all the time the presuppositions of the system
are being reinforced
by the limits put on the range of the debate."

 

"The poor complain; they always do
But that’s just idle chatter
OUR system brings reward to all
At least all those who matter."
 
 
 

OR, to put it simply:
 

"LOOK OVER HERE!
LOOK OVER THERE!
LOOK UP!
LOOK DOWN!
LOOK ANYWHERE!
(Just don't look to your inter-connected selves!)"
