Ranxer, there has always been an ignorant mass. Always. Don't think that everyone used to be literate and informed members of society, until TV came and took that away. Admitedly, TV is a huge waste of time, and happens to brainwash people. Well, couple hundred years back, there were many other brainwashing worthless activites. Going to Church. Hell, back then, the services could last up to three hours, the average time an American spends watching TV. Plenty of brainwashing going on there, and plenty of Misogyny and the evils of sex being disseminated by the backwards priests. It was as harmful to listen to those guys as it is to watch television. Both preach bad morals.
And guess what? Just like back then, there are people who can rise above that bullshit. Just as many today as there was yesterday. Intelligent people still exist. I think many of the I-Mockery crew (although there are many exceptions. VINTH) can vouch for that. We all watched television since before we could speak, and ate sugary cereal (gasp) and played with toys and video games. Oh my god! However, we have a reccomended reading section, which, along with a few comic book posts, contains many threads where pople discuss some decent literature. The music section. Almost all the shit in the music section is about hard-working artists that aren't made only to be sold to the masses in any easy to digest form.
Stop kidding yourself. There have always been lots of stupid people, that are brainwashed and idiotic. And there have always been intelligent people. Amounts never vary.
