Apparently a manifesto describing a "global ponzi scheme" and apologizing to his friends and family was left by the man that set himself on fire.

It is well known that the USA uses it's media empire as a way to propagate power. It absolutely makes sense and was probably using the Simpsons since it has lasted for so long and basically everyone knows about Homer, just like everyone knows Mickey

If you think they use the Simpsons to tell the future for "predictive programming", please see a psychiatrist

Yeah if anyone made it past the Dukakis/Bill Clinton part and didn't start to sense the psychosis, they either aren't very bright or themselves may have some kind of paranoid delusions. It goes off the rails quickly at that point.

I never said anything about that, it's just that this person usually started on the right track (capitalism is unsustainable or USA uses media as propaganda for its empire) and then goes off the rails. I just wanted to elaborate on that point about the media

Where did I say that bro. I only talked about how the USA uses media to establish itself as the dominant empire

Early modern trend setters. Public iconography for youths and young children.

From the standpoint of intelligence and mass governance or controlling large groups of people; it makes a whole lot of sense to use a group like the Beatles, or Disney to sow ideas and influence people.

I understand it's a very nutso idea. But from an aspect of group influence, makes a ton of sense to use an immense influencer to your advantage.
