The professional wresting industry (which was legally required to change its name away from WWF to WWE - to replace the word "federation" with "entertainment"
is also entertainment. They had a whole coalitions of wrestlers named the new world order, riffing off Alex Jones' material. And I love WWE. I love Alex Jones. Why?
Because at this point, its ALL entertainment. I have no problem with you dismissing Alex Jones or WWE that way, its true. But do you also dismiss mainstream sources like Fox news? Like the History channel or CNN (which I also love) that way? If you don't you're in lala land. You're tuning in to one kind of distortion but turning a blind eye to others. If you blame WWE/jones for overhyping the seriousness of something, but not CNN for extensive coverage of the fap-off session that was the Jodi Arias trial as something with any relevance whatsoever, you're missing the real character of the modern world: Its all distraction, its all entertainment.
We live in a world of stories and storytellers, and excepting a few people who really tried to buck that trend, we always have. The awareness of this fact is rare, and once you wake up to it, you are confronted with a disconcerting world: people who think the next dance reality show episode is more important that impending doom through issues like climate change make up the majority of the population.
So bash the mad fringe all you want - just don't, even for a second, get the idea that the majority is leading us in a direction any more sane.
