Thinking requires a break. She doesn't give it to her.
"The more propaganda is based on current news, the little space it leaves on reflection. A man immersed in a stream of news must stay on the surface of events — carried by running, without a moment’s remainder to halt and reflect. So it has no distance to itself, nor to its location, nor to the society in which it lives.
It doesn't analyse individual facts, it doesn't bring them together. As we already know, the human head has difficulty covering respective events simultaneously and putting them in a coherent picture. 1 thought pushes out the other, fresh information pushes the old. In specified circumstances 1 cannot think — 1 can only react.
Modern man does not realize the problems he faces. He feels them, he responds emotionally, but he does not take work for them. Worse still, he does not see any contradictions between the next facts. His memory works selectively, and his ability to forget is virtually unlimited. For propaganda, these are favorable conditions: any narrative, even openly inconsistent, can vanish from social memory after a fewer weeks.
In addition, there is simply a defensive mechanics — people instinctively push distant excess information and inconsistencies to defend their sense of identity. The simplest strategy is to forget what happened before. Only specified a strategy has a price: man loses the continuity of his life. alternatively of combining the past with the present, he lives only what “here and now” — in a series of disconnected moments, without a coherent communicative and without reflection.”

A farmer from Opole with full culture crushed the typical of the ruling “elyta”

- Represents the Lower National Farmer Protest. On the website priceernicze.pl an article was published, in which there is simply a mention of the gathering of Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Pabianice, at which the gathering addressed the Prime Minister, [...] Anna Jurczak, who is an assistant to the Euro MP Dariusz Joński.
She stated that the Polish government, headed by the Prime Minister, should take care of the education of villages and farmers, due to the fact that the village is concreted by the Pisa propaganda and tv Republic. Let me put it this way, Prime Minister, dear Mrs. Anna, I am a farmer, I am a agrarian resident, I have many neighbors.
Personally, I consider myself a man who does not require education due to the fact that he is rather decently educated. I finished agricultural studies, and I besides studied humanities. Today, the village abounds in educated people. present we can educate the city about how complicated the work of a farmer is, how hard the process of producing wheat prism, which will be turned over time into bread, into buns, into bread – we hear in the movie material published in the social media of the Lower National Farmers Protest.
- I'm sorry. To say from your side that even the peoples have given up the agrarian electorate suggests that the Civic Coalition and Platform have done so a long time ago, and that is simply a pity. We in the country effort to work beyond political divisions. We can afford sympathy as long as the rulers care about our business. They take care of our interests, care for the interests of Poles, all Poles and citizens of the European Union. We do not see evil itself in the Union, and we besides see good things. On the another hand, we see a problem with a certain direction of going astray right now. delight don't treat the villagers from above, delight don't tell us political sympathy, due to the fact that in fact, it could origin the moods in the countryside to become worse and we can truly start voting for unusual people. For now, we have a truly golden average in our views, watching different televisions to be closer to the truth, not to be tried to indoctrinate on 1 side or the other. Let's respect farmers. Mrs Anna, Prime Minister, we truly do not stereotype, due to the fact that this is hurtful – Krzysztof Piech calls.

Sometimes certain phenomena grow so slowly, so unnoticed that we don't see them until they grow up inside us like a abroad body, until 1 day We feel something's wrong, but we can't tell you what.
The separation of thought from the action Jacques Ellul wrote about is just specified a process.
Subtle, cleft, deep into the structure of modern life. And it's not about any abrupt chapter that could point a finger at the timeline. Rather, it is simply a shift in the interior balance of man, which takes place quietly, frequently under the cover of progress, rationalization, efficiency.
Action that no longer has a foundation in thought becomes a function, a reflex programmed by schematics, instructions, systems. Thinking, which no longer has the chance to realize itself in action, turns into an aesthetic hobby: contemplation without merit, consideration without consequences, intellectual loneliness. Yet, in the past, or possibly only in the image of the old, man acted as he thought. Or vice versa, he thought due to the fact that he had to act, and all thought had a hazard of turning it into action.
Today, those who think seldom have access to the levers of reality. Their tools are words, images, analyses. They work, but alternatively in symbolic space. Their influence, even if broad, seldom has the form of direct action. However, those who operate, whether in corporations, administration, logistics or even medicine, do so according to algorithms, schematics, guidelines, having no time or space to reflect. thought is seconded, action is automated. There is simply a chapter that is seemingly intended to advance productivity, but in fact deprives the individual of entity. due to the fact that man ceases to be whole: he becomes a function in a strategy or an observer without influence.
However, the interior chapter is the most entertaining. At work, you don't think, but you don't work. In the ninth to seventeenth hours, it is simply a cog, at best functional. In the evening, if he has the strength, he becomes himself. That's erstwhile he meditates, reads, listens to podcasts, develops passions, "working on himself." But they are not actions that affect the world, alternatively an effort to rebuild themselves after the day in which it was just a tool of another people's plans. The strategy doesn't want him to think erstwhile it works due to the fact that the thought slows down. And erstwhile he can think, he doesn't want it to work, due to the fact that action requires space in a structure he no longer controls.
And so the paradox of modern man arises: he has access to vast resources of knowledge, but he has no power to apply it. He's got tools of expression, but he's got no leverage. He is encouraged to look for himself, but only in his spare time, due to the fact that he is to be something another than himself at work. The strategy gives him illusions of perpetuity: "expand," "be yourself," "learn your full life." But all this is inserted after hours like a hobby that does not interact with the reality in which it lives.
So it's not that people stopped reasoning or acting. The problem is they can't do both at once. And without that unity, man ceases to be full. The only question is: is it inactive possible to sew it together, or is it inactive possible to arrange life so that what we do comes from what we think, and vice versa? Or is this peculiar schizophrenic of modernity already besides profoundly embedded in the structure of a planet that we did not make but lived in it?
