my name is ashera. pronounced ash-urr-ahh. I'm white. it's not very interesting. I date men. That's also not interesting. I'm an ENTP, which is mildly interesting. I have strong opinions about things and sometimes clue you in on my personal life, but not often so don't hold your breath. I have awkward mannerisms. I enjoy chasing skunks and setting fires.

But nevertheless, there is a complex system of filters in the media and educational institutions which ends up ensuring that dissident perspectives are weeded out, or marginalized in one way or another. And the end result is in fact quite similar: what are called opinions “on the left” and “on the right” in the media represent only a limited spectrum of debate, which reflects the range of needs of private power - but there’s essentially nothing beyond those “acceptable” positions.

So what the media do, in effect, is to take the set of assumptions which express the basic ideas of the propaganda system…and then present a range of debate within that framework - so the debate only enhances the strength of the assumptions, ingraining them in people’s minds as the entire possible spectrum of opinion that there is.
