Once You Befriend This 100-Year-Old Trend, All of Your Marketing Woes Will End
> If we can effectively kill the national pride and patriotism of just one generation, we will have won that country. Therefore, there must be continued propaganda abroad to undermine the loyalty of citizens in general, and teenagers in particular. By making drugs of various kinds readily available, by creating the necessary attitude of chaos, idleness, and worthlessness, and by preparing him psychologically and politically, we can succeed." ~Vladimmir Lenin

And you're a willing victim giving the networks all the information they need to continue manipulating you.
Australian model Bridget Malcolm has revealed that her Victoria's Secret runway life isn't as glamorous as it looks. The 25-year-old blonde [recently opened up](https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/victorias-secret-model-bridget-malcolm-opens-up-about-awful-days-and-faking-it-for-instagram) about her struggle with pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and body dysmorphia.
"Both these photos were from bad days (faking it for the gram)," Malcolm admitted. "I was scared, running from the reality that I was not physically and mentally well. This was not living."

Both these photos were from bad days (faking it for the gram). I was scared, running from the reality that I was not physically and mentally well. This was not living. Living is showing up to everything that challenges you, and acknowledging the fact that to be human is to be scared and unhappy sometimes. Running away from the tough spots; forcing away the situations that scare us and pretending they do not exist, is to deny such an important part of growth. There is no more powerful feeling than that of looking back and seeing how far you have come. I have come a long way from these photos, but I still have bad days :) I’m a human. And that’s ok. So much love to you all!!! Please reach out, I love getting your emails, and try to respond to them all.](https://www.instagram.com/p/BpPsJOsHZbs/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading) A post shared by [Bridget Malcolm](https://www.instagram.com/bridgetmalcolm/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading) (@bridgetmalcolm) on Oct 22, 2018 at 11:17am PDT
