“In the 60s, yaknow, they had subliminal messages buried in the carrier signals from cable TV. It was kind of the government’s reaction to the whole ‘peace, love’ deal, they didn’t like that kind of attitude. Environmentalism too, hated it, they couldn’t stand it, all that kind of stuff was as bad as Communism to them. Didja notice that I only said in the 60s, huh? Know why? Because they took all those signals out in the 70s. Want to know why they did that? They realized they didn’t need them. Wasn’t worth it. Why waste money on a subliminal programming department when human nature practically does all your work for you? That’s what’s great about capitalism, it’s so addictive! And you need the government to make it work, yaknow, because they’re too busy getting fat off of Mickey D’s and working squalid 9 to 5 jobs to bother to think for themselves. That’s where the government comes in, you feed the pigs and then you tell them who to vote for, but it’s all the same troth, full of the same pig slop everyone just can’t get enough of. You don’t need to program people to be ignorant, it just works out naturally, yaknow?”
