TV and Facebook etc. Electronics in general are no better. They all provide hits of dopamine which is why people get so cracked out on it, they are legit drug addicts. Our society has discovered how to abuse the bodies natural reward system, literal drugs, and nobody bats an eye towards it. I was raised like this and I wasted away into my teens but thankfully I knuckled down and began essentially parenting myself back to normal. I do not watch TV or play vidya at all.
However, I will allow my children to watch the occasional movie so long as I screen it and approve. It can be an art form and quite inspiring to a child's mind.

I will allow my children to undergo the occasional jewish brainwashing. I can't really think of any American movie these days that isn't cultural marxist indoctrination.

how would you consider this propaganda?
I'm very religious and what I've seen is a war on beauty and a war on depth, think of the great beautiful granduous architecture of the Romans, Greek Orthodox churches, how it's devolved into "modern art" and butt-ugly sculptures everywhere. The majority of movies in circulation today don't have this element, the majority of music. But it is there. And the reason TPTB seek to destroy and degrade this is because that is where you find God. Same reason everyone is hopped up on meds, same reason they screw with the water and food, it screws with your brain chemistry and clouds the lense through which we perceive the divine.
For those who have eyes it's easy to distinguish the propaganda because it inundates the soul with filth.
