Have you noticed that whenever corporate media decides to publish one of their rare articles about global warming, they almost always will headline it with a cheerful photo of people at the beach, or happily enjoying the sun?
It's a subliminal message.
Yes, the words you're reading might be alarming, but that's okay. We've got this. Business and industry and government will work together to solve the problem. There's nothing to worry about.
As you see here, these three young women are smiling as they relax by a fountain. Life is good!
@breadandcircuses reminds me of the old CIA trick in newspapers of positioning disconnected images and headlines in the layout to discredit people or ideas.
@breadandcircuses Likewise with masking regarding COVID-19 danger, so often the corporate press used images of unmasked crowds people out on the beach or otherwise outdoors having fun, as if that’s as relevant as people indoors
@breadandcircuses Even back in summer 2022 when bits of the UK were literally bursting into flames it was so hot, the tabloids were still mostly going with the "Phew wot a scorcher!" style of reporting.
@breadandcircuses Damn you're right. It's also conflating it with the weather, like oh boy , global warming, today's gonna be a scorcher, put on that bathing suit, and have some fun!
@breadandcircuses They should show immigrant farm workers stroking out & seizing in the sun because the state made a law preventing them to take breaks or drink water.
