Well, that is an interesting way of putting it. Still, I think you are partly right, not completely right. I believe, and have always strongly believed, that there is an interest in the furthering of violence in the world as violence creates a breeding ground for war. You can´t have a war somewhere that is just coming out of nothing. It has to come for some reason. However, I think that if there isn´t any wars to fight, hell, somebody will go make a goddamn war! Because war is business for the weapons industry. That is physical warfare. Now back to violence in the media. Violence in the tv, magazines, on the pc screen is mind violence. And this is also business for those who started it because it creates fear in people. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering (in Jedi Master Yoda´s own words). People who are afraid are easier to control! When you have them angry, they are out of control, and so even easier to steer so to speak. When they hate - you can make them create physical wars on many levels just short of outright civil war of YOUR choosing. This is also called mass manipulation. Or mass deception.
I believe this is the very reason why there is so much violence in the media. Is fully intended. It´s not only the way people are (or we would all be in deep trouble) that brings violence in the media. It´s also those behind the media who have a reason of their own for wanting to control all of us! I think that here too, I feel this, someone has since a beginning sometime in the past decades, agreed that THIS would be the way in which they could keep power, and keep the common man from thinking. Just look at how HIGH a percentage of the games that exist are about being involved in conflicts in one form or the other. See? They keep us busy fighting, say, virtual wars, so they can keep us from thinking about "other" things. Such as what direction they are taking our society into! Who knows what would have happened to us all already if it wasn´t for an alert citizenry and Congress!
I know it can sound paranoid. But I have heard it from too many people over the years to think it to be a lie. To me it makes perfect sense. It´s the only explanation for the massive presence of violence in the media, because I refuse to believe that every individual in the world is just that violent at heart. We are not the only ones creating that virtual violence. Others simply have found it to be a smart way to keep us busy while they do "other" things which they then hope we will never find out about. Still, I do believe that there is many good people at the top of government, but the bad ones have the control. For now.
Anyways, this is my view of violence in the media!
