1) & 2) CLICKBAIT CAPTION 3) THUMBNAILS, 4)STORY/POST 5) SOCIAL, POLITICAL, CULTURAL HYPNOSIS: #SOCIOECONOMICS

In order to understand the significance, impact & revolution caused by what Oxford University neurologists first discovered as #clickbait & more importantly: how images, phrases, song hooks, even colors are used to disassociate yourself from reality & even CAT scans reveal hyperactivity in the pre-frontal cortex when say an individual is presented by an image that uses plenty of red; a color that's intentionally *by God's design* easily spotted by the limitations & capability (or lack off) by the human eye?
Happy New years (I know its long overdue) I haven't been on this platform to be honest; though I have been writing in my personal journal & I have something important that's been bugging me to write about as it is nothing short of a brilliant piece using finance, science, history to closely examine the cause/effect relationship of consumer based products...socioeconomic implications on our entire civilization or society as a whole+ what role that plays in constructing #freemarket #capitalism from the very foundation to its core:
WORDS YOU THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER HEAR IN ONE SENTENCE: CLICKBAIT & THUMBNAILS ALONGSIDE A CATCHY OR WITTY *YET BRIEF* TITLE = HOW YOU GET YOUR NEWS. PROBLEM? YOU'RE FORGETTING 4) *SUBSTANTIVE* CONTENT LIKE A SOAP OPERA? EVOLVED & 5) CITATIONS, TIMING; ATTENTION TO DETAIL *GIVEN TO THEM* AND CLEARLY ALL & I MEAN ALL EVIDENCE MUST BE PRESENTABLE TO HAVE A CASE THAT CAN BE THEN DECIDED IF IT CAN MAKE/BREAK*
The American Dream mantra was the allure that made it so diverse & appealing to other immigrants from other nations despite having no cultural appropriation or similarities whatsoever, some have lived (happily) longer here in the U.S. than they have in their homeland (i.e. some of our South Korean allies living in the U.S.) but at the end of the day we played chicken with Stalin & Kruschchev (among others; but those two were without a doubt the biggest threat to the extinction of humanity; moreso than the entirety of WW2 as the MAD era had revealed (even to this day; a fact that pigheaded journalists/ military analysts, generals & even the congress/senate + POTUS himself) think that after 20-25 years to take a breath from war after 46 years of bouncing from each corner of the globe engaged in conflict after conflict (which began with the events unfolding as the Arms race & Cold War essentially began while the Nazi War Machine ravaged Europe...with nobody trusting anybody coupled with Hitler's idea (who ironically, broke precedent by going against the advise of his generals in the Wehrmacht and surrounding himself by Gestapo/SS yes man instead but what had happened was a cruel twist of fate for mankind: so what had happened was that for whatever reason (I'm being sarcastic if subtext makes it hard to discern that) Hitler himself; fell ass backwards into what would be the most ironic, coincidental & downright evil circumstance: not to mention his timing was impeccable; which was what made him so inherently evil.
What does this have to do with clickbait? Pseudo Socioeconomically? EVERYTHING! It's quite simple really. What is clickbait; if not but a modern form of digital propaganda; designed & characterized through dog whistles & created for the sole intent of grabbing the intended target's attention & then taking it a step further and convincing them of their argument, albeit right or wrong, so as long as you believe it
Advertisers have done the very same thing.
The German people were a defeated nation after losing the Great War as it was known and although the NSDAP (for many who don't know; in the early 1920s was known as the German Workers' Party: the precursor to the NSDAP was created in a bar in Munich (which seemed at the time to be nothing more than overly right-wing "patriots" disgusted with the Treaty of Versailles. (remember; there was no "neo" let alone "nazi" before...so the common misconception I see many people both conservative & liberal make is that Hitler had no regard for his own agenda. Nothing could be further than the truth; as evidenced by the 1936 German Olympic spec) so to be drinking in bars (the germans love their beer :P) it would seem only natural that once again the hand of fate would lead adolf hitler into a new circumstance: a broken, battered & embarrassed disgruntled conservative german man who was foolishly naive to believe that (despite him being incapacitated for years and nearly losing his eyesight to mustard gas; this almost blind & undaunted patriotism to the fatherland is not purely racist or bigoted but simply a who were upset about the way Hindenburg he was capable as it turned out Hitler's radical choice to steamroll through an entire forest with trees as thick as elephants & tall as giraffes had (an economically depressent France, who had declared war on Germany alongside Churchill's conservative British party after Chamberlain was essentially shoved out for being too soft on fascism and allowing this to occur...
There was a dominoe effect in the 30's that led to the rise of the Nazi party. The reason I mention them in this subject (and in many others) is that I honestly & truly believe this 5 year interval (WW2) is so often overlooked; for having such an instrumental part in modern geopolitical affairs, not to mention the sole purpose the U.S. is the only remaining world power for lets not forget: in a pre-WW2 world there were 17 world powers, with the U.S. ranked #17, now post-WW2, there were 2 (USSR & USA) and as we all know, circa 1991; the collapse of the Soviet Union left the U.S. as the only remaining superpower.
We all knew he was a monster; yet he is also a monster responsible for the birth of what is now the American Empire. Some would argue American Imperialism. This post-war New World Order would not exist if not for Hitler's efforts to conquer much of Europe & the USSR. We have literally rewritten history to hide the war crimes of the likes of a Wehrner Von Braun; whose V2 rocket was the first to ever be used in combat & leveled London in the spring of 1945, only because he defected to the U.S. after. His talent was then later used to create the Apollo 11 & 13; putting the very first man on the moon. Just like that a man who created a weapon for mass destruction & used it against our allies is now an American hero & legend. You can thank clickbait (a modern broad/umbrella term used for all sorts of manipulative propaganda)
So on that note; enjoy your weekend. Whenever you see an ad pay attention to the imagery, the colors, the sort of things you don't expect to find alluring yet for some reason you do. Why? Unless you like being a manipulated sheep; then go for it and do as you will.

Personally I love this nation for its freedom. I know that's a catchy overused cliche/talking pt. but I'm serious. I do not like politicians using talking pts. to tell me what to believe, nor do I like Fake News media manipulating/misleading me into altering my viewpoints on a certain matter, just as much as I detest & despise advertisers shilling me products I would've never bought if not for their clever maneuvering/tactics & implementation of socioeconomic pseudo behavioral science applications!
