THE CORPORATION [12/23] Perception Management

12. Some of our best creative minds are employed to create illusions that divert us from the real issues and manufacture our consent. Beyond their products, the corporation sells us the idea of a better way of life and produces propaganda that affirms their power as necessary for human progress.

funny, I am watching Resident Evil 3 with this documentary at the same time. Umbrella Corporation, pretty much screwed the whole world in the movie. But of course, those things happen only in the movies. In real life, we have nice friendly, humane, corporations that would not do bad things for humans and for humanity. They are falsy being accused by environmentalists etc. They would never ever harm anyone. Those who are harmful, are Muslims so we have to trust those corporation against Muslims.

Factoid: Resident Evil Apocalypse is the only Canadian-financed (20%) feature film which outgrossed The Corporation in Canada in the year it came out.

People have developed a sense of entitlement around free content which will lead to more and more "embedded" ads. I guess we could have gone the product placement route, but I doubt we'd have had any takers. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Thank you. Fixed.

You had me until "So called Freedom and so called Liberty."

I think this segment is irresponsible with it's message. Corporations are not the only people who manufacture consent, far from it. Politicians, unions, lawyers, and even teachers try to manipulate us. This is human nature, but to imply that only corporations manipulate may give people the idea that others institutions are somehow trustworthy is something I find to be irresponsible.
