Judging by the multitudinous anti-American sentiment expressed on YouTube, it is plausible to conclude that American propaganda is failing to enchant---to control the hearts and minds of---much of humanity. This is because America, as could be expected of a consumerist society much engrossed with trivial concerns, is failing to present---and possibly even to conceive of---itself in the epic context of natural competition, and therefore is not invoking to full extent the primal energies of its supporters and would-be supporters. Sentiments expressed on such formats as YouTube may not--at this point--reflect mainstream perception, but they are surely to effect mainstream thinking. In fact, such formats may well be the hot houses of future consensus opinion. Those who do not plant now will starve later. American appeals for such concerns as humanitarianism, democracy and economic conductivity no doubt find positive reception within many, yet such concerns do not speak to the primal hunger within every psyche to wage life as an epic struggle of attainment---the primary evolutionary drive by which all living things are empowered. All living things struggle for dominance and compete for resources. Moral concerns and intellectual arguments arise, both consciously and unconsciously, as justifications for the host entity to exude as much dominance as possible. This primal energy has no doubt been muted to engender obedience and placidity within the general population of our opulent society, yet nature will not tolerate such a vacuum within the psyche; Therefore this primal energy is being called forth and put in the service of those who oppose America. As long as living things exist, so will this primal energy; Therefore, America can either use this energy to her advantage or become the (soft-spoken) victim of it. Ritual, symbolism, and bold expressions of dominance by leaders are key to setting the stage for the arousal and direction of the primal life force. An economy dedicated to the production and consumption of unessential gadgetry is anathema to such a bold projection of cultural force, for inherent in its economic mission is the conditioning of the populace to regard themselves as hapless consumers dependent on a continually-updated array of gadgetry and services which serve no utilitarian function. The hierarchical ranks within such a society become laden with submissive, rather than dominant, personalities, since it is not purified to utilitarian standards by the trials of epic (life threatening) competition, which, on a societal level, only come about by warfare. Not only will warfare necessitate the valuation of the viable, thereby marrying the society to evolutionary direction, it will also allow for vast economic opportunity, thereby diminishing the influence of trivial orientation, both economically and within the psyche. Obviously, every member of society must feel personally engaged by warfare. American propaganda has largely failed to convey this sense of inclusive destiny and its epic ramifications, though, considering the exaltation of triviality which seems to rule the consumerist mindset, it probably has done as well as could be expected. Conflict begets evolution. Let us proceed boldly.
