The guided direction is clearly noticeable. I am always surprised when I talk to acquaintances with whom I have a good relationship. Then at some point an item on the agenda comes up as a topic. It's either the gender fight, the climate or health. It seems that we can't get around these issues any more, it's almost penetrated our minds. I can only explain this through constant media consumption. The constant repetition of the same messages is a drop in the bucket that shuts out our own thinking. I think I'm talking to a reasonable person and suddenly I'm irritated because a friend, for example, says something full of anger about a "bad man at work". And criticises men in general. I notice how deeply this is also anchored in me and how much I have to be careful myself not to make generalisations when I get into private conflicts. It has only indirectly to do with gender, because men and women are socialised differently. There are tendencies that are clearly masculine or clearly feminine. The disciples of genderism have identified a true core, but as always, when you want to change something by hook or by crook for the "general public", it goes wrong.

The exaggerations and the ridiculous attempts at political correctness all have something artificial, something forced in their various expressions. Series in which the characters are deliberately chosen to be diverse: a white, a black, a yellow, a red, and so on. - of course you can't say that like that anymore, they are then Asians, Indians, Eurasians, Europeans etc. - as if the audience were stupid children who don't know that the world is full of different peoples. And as if the filmmakers were obediently following this new correctness in order to get a star in the reviews for "well done! Realised in the spirit of the political course!" Of course, no one would say exactly that, because there is no official political course, is there? LOL.

My mother used to say about TV that it was the devil. A bit too strong for me was that expression. But I don't think it sums it up too badly.
