HyperNormalisation (2016 documentary on sowing mass confusion)

ss: HyperNormalisation wades through the culmination of forces that have driven this culture into mass uncertainty, confusion, spectacle and simulation. Where events keep happening that seem crazy, inexplicable and out of control— mass immigration, extreme disparity in wealth, and increasing bomb attacks in the West—this film shows a basis to not only why these chaotic events are happening, but also why we, as well as those in power, may not understand them. We have retreated into a simplified, and often completely fake version of the world. And because it is reflected all around us, ubiquitous, we accept it as normal. HyperNormalisation weaves these historical narratives back together to show how today’s fake and hollow world was created and is sustained.

As always, trust but verify, take it with a grain of salt, and have the courage to use your own understanding.
