Hypernormalisation

Hypernormalisation is a documentary by Adam Curtis that was recommended to me. It is definitely worth watching. He makes a lot of valid and interesting points, of which I found these four the most interesting:

1. The capitalistic world order is collapsing and it's getting worse each year. Wholeheartedly agree with that one.

2. The mass media and social media creates an illusionary reality that is fake in which this collapse is not mentioned e.g. there is no capitalist crisis in the 'adventures' of the Kardashians or in Geordie Shore, life is just fun and party etc etc. Again, I agree.

3. Not mentioned, but implied is that a way out would be to leave this fake reality and face the complexity of the real world below it again. Can't agree here.
Instead of going "below" to the everyday reality, we need to go "above" to the realm of ideals, ideas, theories, ideology, abstract thinking. In a sense, the general citizen is right to escape into this fake safe reality provided by the media; anyone who would face the dire everyday world 24 hours a day would go insane within a few days as "everyday reality" is so corrupting to the mind.
But that behavior is not the right solution; we need to go above this illusion.

4. But what was really interesting, and completely new to me, was that there is a method to the madness of phenomenas like Trump etc: that method is creating a world which is total chaos, where nothing is true or right or persistant or safe. He threatens North Korea with nukes; then the threat is off; then it's on again; then a meeting for peace is announced; then it's called off; then it's on again, and so on. It's a new political strategy aimed at total confusion. Similar things make their way to Europe and the rest of the world.
