[Who are these monsters?

They are competent people who do not consider themselves either golden calves or alienated victims. Plus, they do not watch Progressive TV.

These competent people are the true scapegoats.

They are often portrayed as incredibly greedy business people. They are depicted as swindlers so greedy that they will cheat any victim out of her ornaments in return for nothing (in the same way that television cheats the viewer-victim’s time).

These “businessmen” are only projections of thinkpro-object‘s covetous imagination. Since they are imaginary, they can be totally improbable.

Have you ever seen one?

TelevisionProgressive teaches the viewer how to be stupid.]

[Progressive TV constantly presents its core truth (falsehood) in a wide variety of programs.

The golden calves (standing for the television organizations) and victims (standing for the television viewers, who cannot talk back and are lured into surrendering their gold ornaments) are on the same side, the thinkpro-object side, against the thinkanti-object monsters.]

[Here, I come to the foundational TVProgressive truth … I mean … lie.

Thinkmainstream_TV couples actors, who portray fabulously gifted people who love ‘the object that brings us into organization’, with actors, who portray ‘the victims that require us to organize’. The former are stand-ins for the golden calves. The latter are stand ins for the viewers, whose little gold pieces go into fashioning organization-loving golden calves).]

[How many TV shows have you seen where the wealth destroying Progressives are the bad guys?

None.

Then again, I suppose that ‘dramas showing how bureaucratic welfare rules produce a 70% illegitimacy rate’ might seem a little dreary. Better to write about evil millionaire poltergeists who threaten poor little people, even though these characters do not exist except in the Progressive theological framework.]

[If you sample American headlines for the year 2013, you might ask yourself:

What do Paula Dean and George Zimmerman have in common?

ThinkProgressive_TV incessantly recounts a stereotypical battle between the good victims and the bad exploiters, involving some great and powerful person (often gifted with incredible immaterial attributes) coming to the assistance of a victim (who must be good because, by definition, victims are never bad).]

Summary of text [comment] page 72

[The previous blog brings me to Rene Girard, an insightful theorist who focused on the importance of scapegoats in our current Lebenswelt.

According to the intersecting nested forms underlying the message of the word ‘religion’, scapegoats trigger a projection, a thinkanti-object.

Who accuses?

The golden calves cultivate thinkpro-object. They point their well-manicured fingers.

The golden calves are always prepared to project thinkanti-object onto someone when disorder threatens.

This helps to explain why the selection of scapegoats appears almost random.]

[The televisionaires speak their truth to you, little viewers with golden ornaments.

You cannot talk back, so the television will speak for you. Mainstream TV will portray a character, a victim, some poor trifle that stands for you, the true victim, who cannot talk back to the television. You will feel sympathy for this pathetic creature because you identify with the victim.

You are the victim of the televisionaries, but you do not know it. You only see what is in front of you. You only see images on a screen.

I will consider ‘the so-called truths that they broadcast’, which Christ called a lie, in the next blog.]
