The condolences for the First World War

[matrixmann]

Strange to see that people start talking about a war only because they're reminded by a certain one's 100th anniversary - and if it wasn't for that, they'd be ignorant about the topic in general like they are all over the rest of the year... Posting about entertainment and stuff.

The question here is who controls the media and education.

For social media, I'd say it's the usual thing: "Uncomfortable things? No, please only those uncomfortable things I'm comfortable with because I can curse about them and some backwarded Nazi/racist/bigot/whatever assholes!".

For official mass media's tenor, it's "please only mourning for the camera, to show how unimportantly important we all are, and please let the mourning be free of charge for us!".
