The public is being shown just enough to know the truth, and to understand that nothing is going to happen.

    It’s because what you see on TV/media is bullshit and it 100% conditions your perception of societal norms.

    An easy example is a TV show like friends where young people assume adults just get to hang out and meet their friends all the time.

    Reality makes no sense and it doesn’t fit a “bucket”. Terrible people can work in altruistic roles. Idiots can work at what you’d think are smart office jobs.
