You know what I think? There's like a bunch of conspiracy theories going around that "hurr durr they program you with media" but the thing is, media greatly influences lesser minds. The lesser the mind, the more easily it is influenced. And the VAST majority of the world population has a lesser mind. Ergo, media programming IS very effective if it reaches the right eyeballs. Anyway:
Read that line the guy says. "There's a lot of earning potential with the end of the world".
Now if you're not a retard you would know that the end of the world means the end of governments. No government, no fiat backing to their pretend currency. But this doesn't matter to them. All they want Joe TV Watcher to keep in mind is "Money is eternal, there is only one economic system we can exploit and even after the end of the world, the US dollar will still be desirable and necessary".
Which, of course, is stupid. The current economic system is man-made and is no more sacred than any other man-made system in the world, but as long as Joe and Jane Dumbass keep believing that they'll always be shackled to the idea that no matter what happens or what you do, cash is king and you cannot live in any other way (especially off-grid. What are you, some Ruby Ridge lunatic?)
Anyway, what is your favorite crafting survival game?
