Humans learn by observing others. It is our greatest strength and our greatest weakness. This show is part of the ruling class or wannabe ruling class exploiting many of the themes that the unwashed masses feels gives their subservient position meaning and power.
There is a primal need being fed, that of getting back to or staying close to nature, and to life. But the loads of troglodyte swill being dished out isn't necessary to tell that story. But they claim ownership of it and nature.
A powerful political message is being sent, of us against them, to exploit another one of mankind's greatest needs, to be part of a group. Americans are constantly seeking a new identity. It is basic survival and how we achieve good or evil things working together. It is the most emotionally satisfying and a necessity to find the courage to go through the day for some. Others, not so much.
These actors are knowingly training a generation to become something they do not believe in or want themselves. Their fans want comfort from a world they think does not respect them, and to be protected by powerful figures. The world isn't doing anything to them, really, but it is going forward.
When the Duck family gets as much money off this venture as they can from the hypnotized, they'll cut their hair and beards and go back to being the entitled yuppies they always were and intend to be. They will laugh at those who supported and attacked them.
It's a game like wealth is to Romney. They win and brag to each other like the picture of Reagan laughing to the meme, "We told them the wealth would 'trickle down,' LOL." They'll no longer have to be involved with their gullible fan base while living the high life, but may choose to keep patting them on the head if it keeps the money coming.
The world of illusion is not easily given up, people will kill anyone who tries to bring them out of the spell of illusion. Because that reality can become so powerful that they believe they won't be 'alive' to literally outside of it, like a fish in the ocean. The realization of being conned brings shame and a feeling of being lost. So the ego won't allow them to leave it.
It's like the monkey pot trap. A piece of fruit is put at the bottom of a clay vessel with a narrow neck. It's wide enough to add the treat, and the monkey reaches in to get it. As it is held in a fist, the monkey feels very clever, but when it tries to get its hand out with the fruit, it cannot, as its hand was searching, its fingers were straight. But it won't let loose of its 'prize' even at the cost of its freedom or its life, realizing it's been tricked and escaping. Eventually a human shows up and takes the foolish, greedy monkey for whatever use the person wants, be it dinner or for sale to someone for money.
I've seen crab bait offered on the Gulf Coast. A person will spread a length of string between two pieces of wood, which they push into the sand. On the string they tie some bait, chicken legs. The surf comes up and offers the crabs in the water some chicken meat. They grab on and won't let go even when the surf rolls out and they dangle from the chicken legs along the string above the sand. They refuse to give up their 'prize.'
The person who set up the trap then knocks them off the chicken legs into a bucket and the process repeats until the person takes a bucket full of greedy crabs and the scarcely eaten chicken legs home for dinner. Nice return on their investment, the human thought the process of deception out, but the dumb crabs never do.
That's what most of media is about and it's the purpose of Duck Dynasty. The word is defined as:
a succession of people from the same family who play a prominent role in business, politics, or another field. Yes, playing a role.
In this case, I'll go with it just as it's pronounced, 'Die Nasty.' The fans died to logic and reason years ago. We can't even tell the difference here, either.
And so it goes.
