Brainwash Super Bowl

I like movies, so I know last week the annual Superbowl was broadcast in the United States. I don't care about the sport, so I've never seen a full match of American Football in my life, but most new movie trailers for the biggest titles are always shown during this annual sports-event.

It's kind of amazing and disturbing to realize that the commercials around our modern gladiator spectacle are as famous worldwide as the event itself is in the U.S. For the purpose of writing today's short article I've looked up some data, so now I know that the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams 13-3, and that this year's Super Bowl had the lowest viewership since 2008, with around 100 million viewers in America. Also I learned that the price for a 30 second commercial is a whopping 5.25 million dollar.

But no price is too high for our corporate rulers in order to control our minds. With 100 million viewers, it's a chance not to be missed to speak to the subconscious minds of the masses. This year's most watched commercials were particularly dystopian, with the dear people at Microsoft, Amazon and SimplySafe Home Security among others painting the nightmarish picture of a corporate ruled grid, a privately owned internet of everything for us to get lost in. Especially the Microsoft AI bit and the Amazon Alexa thing are illustrative of how the financial and corporate elite are enticing us to willingly become part of their control grid.

I didn't watch the Superbowl, so I only saw these commercials when one of my favorite YouTubers, James Corbett from the corbettreport, published a video on them, which I'll link below the article. After seeing this, I'm glad I don't watch TV anymore. Except... I too have a favorite sport, two in fact: Formula 1 and MotoGP. These are two of the most commerce-driven sports as well, just like American Football or soccer. I guess you can say that when something is popular, when it attracts enough people, we can be sure that it'll be polluted by corporate messaging. Behold the advent of the corporate technocracy:
