Grok can you create a proper transcript out of the following

George Monty.TrueLife.Rites of Passage.
You are not angry.You are not righteous.You are being aimed—and they’ve turned your rage into a weapon that only fires at targets they choose, burning energy that could destroy them on enemies they’ve manufactured.
Right now, remember what made you furious this week.Do it.That tweet. That headline. That statement. That person.
Feel that heat in your chest, that need to argue, correct, condemn?How long did you think about it?How much energy did you spend on it?What did you actually DO about it?
That’s not organic emotion.That’s 2025’s manufactured outrage—the systematic engineering of viral anger designed to exhaust your capacity for real resistance, directing your attention to curated provocations while actual power operates behind your fury.
They call it “engagement” in media analytics.But it’s rage farming: The deliberate cultivation of fury as a renewable resource, harvested continuously to generate clicks, divide populations, and ensure your anger never threatens anyone who actually matters.
Ancient propaganda required believing lies; now they just make you too furious to think.
The average American spends 3.2 hours daily consuming outrage content—that’s 1,168 hours annually of pure anger with zero material impact. You’re not informed. You’re not activated. You’re addicted to a feeling that changes nothing while consuming everything.
Now the machine aims your rage.
Facebook’s algorithm doesn’t show you posts—it shows you provocations, with leaked internal documents revealing “angry” reactions generate 5x more engagement than “like,” so the AI deliberately surfaces content that enrages you, creating feedback loops where anger breeds anger, driving you deeper into fury spirals that increase time-on-platform while destroying your capacity for nuanced thought.
Twitter’s “trending topics” aren’t organic—they’re manufactured, with bot networks and engagement pods creating artificial controversy, launching nobodies into main characters for 24-hour hate cycles, ensuring you’re always furious about something different than yesterday, never allowing focus on any single issue long enough for organized response.
Cable news isn’t information—it’s emotional manipulation, with leaked MSNBC and Fox producer emails explicitly stating: “Lead with outrage, follow with fear, end with tribal affirmation.” They’re not reporting events—they’re engineering emotional states that keep you watching, donating, sharing, while never once organizing effective action.
TikTok’s “For You Page” isn’t curated for you—it’s curated FOR you, with the algorithm deliberately serving “rage bait” content designed to make you angry enough to comment, share, stitch, duet, creating engagement cascades where your fury becomes free marketing while you accomplish exactly nothing.
But here’s the undiscovered explosive: Cross-reference viral outrage cycles with Congressional voting records, corporate mergers, and regulatory decisions—every time a manufactured controversy dominates attention, massive power consolidations happen in the silence behind your screaming.
June 2024: While everyone raged about pronoun controversies and bathroom bills, Congress quietly passed the RESTRICT Act granting unprecedented government power to ban apps, seize assets, and criminalize VPN use with 20-year prison sentences. Zero coverage. Zero outrage. Total passage.
March 2024: During the peak of college protest controversies dominating every feed, BlackRock completed acquisition of 47,000 additional single-family homes, Pfizer got permanent liability immunity extended, and three state legislatures criminalized homelessness. You were furious about campus speeches while they stole the actual ground beneath your feet.
November 2023: While manufactured outrage over celebrity statements consumed 72 hours of national attention, the Federal Reserve transferred $4.8 billion in “emergency” funds to undisclosed financial institutions, the RESTRICT Act expanded warrantless surveillance, and six states passed anti-protest laws making demonstrations near “critical infrastructure” punishable by 10+ years in prison.
No outlet connects the pattern because outlets CREATE the pattern: Every mainstream media company—left, right, center—is owned by corporations who profit from distraction.
Comcast owns MSNBC. Fox Corp owns Fox News. AT&T owned CNN. Disney owns ABC. National Amusements owns CBS.
They’re not competing news organizations—they’re cooperative distraction engines that coordinate to ensure you’re angry about culture wars while they quietly consolidate power through legislation none of them cover.
The playbook distracts:
First, manufacture the outrage—boost provocative content, amplify fringe positions, make extremes seem mainstream, ensuring everyone can find something to be furious about.
Then, sustain the cycle—before one controversy resolves, launch the next, keeping you in permanent reactive mode, never allowing space for strategic thought or organized action.
Finally, harvest the energy—your rage generates engagement (profit), tribal division (control), and exhaustion (compliance), while actual power moves behind your distracted fury.
Document the manufacture:
2016 Election: Media gave Trump $2+ billion in free coverage while ignoring actual policy. You raged about tweets while TPP negotiations happened in secret, mass surveillance expanded, and wealth inequality exploded. Your anger was real—and totally directed away from power.
2020 Pandemic: Fought about masks while Congress transferred $4 trillion to corporations with zero oversight, landlords consolidated properties during eviction moratoriums, and billionaires gained $2.1 trillion. Your fury was authentic—and completely misdirected.
2023 AI Panic: Raged about ChatGPT “taking jobs” while ignoring that Microsoft, Google, Amazon were using AI hysteria to justify laying off 300,000 workers and replacing them with contractors making half the salary with no benefits. The AI didn’t take your job—executives did, while you were angry at the technology.
2024 Immigration Outrage: Spent months furious about border policies while private prison corporations got $3.4 billion in detention contracts, agricultural corporations got unlimited H-2A visa approvals for 89-cents-per-hour labor, and both parties passed bills criminalizing homeless encampments near “economic zones.” You fought about the symptom while they profited from the cause.
But the deepest manufacture is creating opposite sides of the same distraction:
Gun Debate: Decades of fury, zero federal legislation either direction—because while you fight, weapons manufacturers sell to both sides ($28B annually), police departments militarize ($3.4B annually), and nobody discusses that suicides (60% of gun deaths) correlate to economic desperation from systems neither “side” threatens.
Abortion Wars: 50 years of rage, back to states—while you fought about restrictions, pharmaceutical companies made $7B on contraception, adoption agencies commodified children, and economic policies ensuring women can’t afford children regardless of legality went completely unaddressed by either side.
Free Speech Battles: Constant fury over who can say what on which platform—while you debated college speakers and Twitter bans, six corporations consolidated 90% of all media, algorithms (not censors) determined what 3 billion people see, and actual government surveillance expanded with bipartisan support.
The pattern is perfect: They give you “both sides” of fake conflicts while the actual decisions happen in the unstated middle ground where power operates.
Leaked 2018 Facebook memo titled “Political Engagement Strategy” literally states: “Polarized users engage 4.7x more than moderate users. Optimize for polarization.” They’re not hosting debates—they’re manufacturing division for profit.
Cross-reference what happens DURING manufactured outrage:
During Kanye controversies (October 2022): Congress passed NDAA expanding military spending by $847 billion, lame-duck session passed bill preventing rail workers from striking, and 12 states quietly enacted voter roll purges.
During balloon hysteria (February 2023): Congress passed resolution condemning socialism (symbolic) while banks got $300B emergency bailout (actual), Norfolk Southern chemical disaster got 72 hours coverage then vanished, and rent control bills died in committees.
During Trump indictment coverage (April 2024): 94% of news cycles focused on legal proceedings while Congress passed debt ceiling increase with cuts to food assistance, education, and housing—affecting millions while everyone watched courtroom drama affecting one person.
The mathematical reality: For every hour you spend enraged by manufactured controversy, $1.3 million changes hands in policy and contracts you never hear about.
That fury you feel reading partisan tweets, watching outrage clips, arguing with strangers online?It’s not activism—it’s pacification through emotional exhaustion.You’re spending finite energy on infinite provocations, by design, while real changes happen in your distracted blindspot.
The genius is they don’t need to make you believe lies—they just need to make you perpetually furious about provocations that don’t matter so you never organize against systems that do.
Left rages at right. Right rages at left. Meanwhile:
∙ Both parties fund endless wars (unanimous)
∙ Both parties bail out banks (unanimous)
∙ Both parties expand surveillance (unanimous)
∙ Both parties serve corporate donors (100%)
∙ Both parties prevent third parties (totally)
Your manufactured outrage ensures you never notice the bipartisan consensus screwing everyone while you’re busy hating each other.
A population exhausted by permanent outrage cannot sustain the focused, strategic, patient organization required for actual systemic change.
Your anger is real—but it’s being farmed.Your values are genuine—but they’re being weaponized.Your energy is finite—and they’re deliberately draining it on spectacle.
Dangerous outrage is your pacification.Recognize it.Redirect it.Reserve it for targets that matter.
Real resistance doesn’t react to every provocation.It identifies what manufactured outrage is hiding, follows the money behind the distraction, organizes quietly while others scream loudly.It chooses its battles strategically instead of emotionally.
[3 seconds of dead air—count it. Feel the manufactured rage dissipate.]
That calm?It’s the clarity they fear most.
Tonight’s rebellion: 90 seconds, no reaction.
Open your news feed—whatever you use.Scroll for 30 seconds. Count what’s designed to make you angry.Don’t engage. Don’t click. Don’t react.
Then search: “Congress votes [current month/year]”Read what actually passed while you were distracted.
See the gap—between what they want you furious about and what they’re actually doing?
That gap—that’s the theft.Seeing it—that’s you escaping the manufactured outrage.
The mirror demands: Ask tonight—what did I spend energy being angry about that accomplished nothing while something real changed unseen?
Expose the outrage they manufacture,and you become undistractable.
George Monty.TrueLife.Rites of Passage.
Tomorrow we unmask the solutions they corrupt to keep us hopeless.
I consent to nothing I haven’t chosen.
Stay calm.Stay focused.
