I've noted that many Netflix series are set in an alternative timeline where technology is limited, but still advanced enough for some technology be even more advanced than ours.
For example: - Computers are limited or non existing - Phones, but not mobile phones - Cars are old fashion - Colors are diverse, but as an irony, as the world is often very dark - Many features from cyberpunk, but with the cyber and tech - High tech, if existing, is focused on the top.
Examples of series using this style or something similar: - A series of unfortunate Events - The Umbrella Academy - Maniac
Is this a new style the last manifestation of postmodernism? Is it a criticism of capitalism? It is the progressive's response to postmodernism? It is exploiting the desire of people to return to a less technological world? Is it being pushed as a new style by Jews, for a darker reason? Is it a cheap way to create a world with special effects?
Aren't you supposed to be starving or asking for money instead of ranting about modern pop aesthetics?.

Netflix is ran by the grandson of Edward Bernays, father of modern propaganda. Michael and Barrack Soetoro are on the board, as is Valerie "Planet of the Apes" Jarrett. Cancel your subscription immediately, don't even torrent this shit. It's literal psychological warfare.
Nolan Lewis
I believe it's to make content timeless. Look at Zach Morris using his cell phone. It was laughable in just 10 years.
Levi Perez
Nah, those are only the niggers everywhere.
Guatemala, stop drugs going to USA, please.

You are scaring me.
It is propaganda, I know, but thinks to Jow Forums I can get it is and be immune. Also, I don't have any close friends and therefore cannot go out alone without looking like a loser, so what else do?
Sabrina is very scary and anti-Christian. It is about witchcraft and literal devil worshipers.
Jordan Howard
It's related to their religion, the bizarre colors, the "supermans", the dark world pretending to be ok...
Samuel Reed
It's foreshadowing. After the population is reduced and controlled, they will return to a mostly agrarian existence. Their only purpose to remain alive as a source of entertainment and DNA

What? No-o

Maniac was written in the style of a bad late 70s/early 80s scifi film. Like Forbidden World.

lol Sigmund Freud's great-great-nephew owns Netflix? You got any proof?

Didn't know about the Bernays connection (and by extension, Frued). This is why people believe in the illuminati/masons. I just use it to watch Frasier and The Office.
THE conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society consti- tute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smooth- ly functioning society. Our invisible governors are, in many cases, un- aware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet. They govern us by their qualities of natural leader- ship, their ability to supply needed ideas and by their key position in the social structure. Whatever atti- tude one chooses to take toward this condition, it remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking,
Ethan Cook
we are dominated by the relatively small number of per- sons—a trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty million—who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world. It is not usually realized how necessary these in- visible governors are to the orderly functioning of our group life. In theory, every citizen may vote for whom he pleases. Our Constitution does not envisage political parties as part of the mechanism of government, and its framers seem not to have pictured to themselves the existence in our national politics of anything like the modern political ma- chine. But the American voters soon found that without organization and direction their individual votes, cast, perhaps, for dozens or hundreds of can- didates, would produce nothing but confusion. In- visible government, in the shape of rudimentary political parties, arose almost overnight. Ever since then we have agreed, for the sake of simplicity and practicality, that party machines should narrow down the field of choice to two candidates, or at most three or four.
Angel Gonzalez
In theory, every citizen makes up his mind on public questions and matters of private conduct. In practice, if all men had to study for themselves the abstruse economic, political, and ethical data involved in every question, they would find it impossible to come to a conclusion about anything. We have voluntarily agreed to let an invisible government sift the data and high-spot the outstanding issues so that our field of choice shall be narrowed to practical proportions. From our leaders and the media they use to reach the public, we accept the evidence and the demarcation of issues bearing upon public ques- tions; from some ethical teacher, be it a minister, a favorite essayist, or merely prevailing opinion, we accept a standardized code of social conduct to which we conform most of the time.
Juan Barnes
makes sense but it's a cowardly move instead of trying to imagine the application of the technology in the everyday life in the future they are like muh retro 70ss with cyberpunk elements muh degradation of the techno society

Not watching Netflix should give you time to make frens. Then you can redpill them on Netflix.

CHAPTER VI PROPAGANDA AND POLITICAL LEADERSHIP
THE great political problem in our modern democ- racy is how to induce our leaders to lead. The dogma that the voice of the people is the voice of God tends to make elected persons the will-less serv- ants of their constituents. This is undoubtedly part cause of the political sterility of which certain Amer- ican critics constantly complain. No serious sociologist any longer believes that the voice of the people expresses any divine or specially wise and lofty idea. The voice of the people ex- presses the mind of the people, and that mind is made up for it by the group leaders in whom it be- lieves and by those persons who understand the manipulation of public opinion. It is composed of inherited prejudices and symbols and cliches and verbal formulas supplied to them by the leaders. Fortunately, the sincere and gifted politician is able, by the instrument of propaganda, to mold and form the will of the people.
