A big part of system distancing entails building resistance to the System's endless mass communications: marketing, advertising, persuasion, storytelling, and propaganda.
This is much easier said than done, partly because the System is now global and totalitarian, which means the mass communications tactics employed are also global (ubiquitous, unavoidable) and totalitarian (repressive, indoctrinating, terroristic).
The System, together with the Establishment that runs it, is evil - meaning it is anti-God, anti-spiritual, anti-Truth, anti-Beauty, and anti-Goodness. This means all of its communications have been purposefully designed and engineered to oppose God and degrade Creation, primarily by subverting the divine element within each individual person.
The fact the System's mass communications and mass media are virtually hardwired into modern people's consciousnesses doesn't make the matter any easier. This is particularly relevant within the development of human consciousness, which is meant to follow a spiritual trajectory, one that should - after a long period of autonomy and alienation from the spiritual - draw us back toward God and Creation.
The rampant despiritualization of human consciousness is a testament to how ruthlessly effective the System's mass communications campaigns against God and Creation have been - in which the birdemic/peck campaigns stand out as crowning achievements. Sadly, the effectiveness of the System's mass communications is also a testament to the spiritual weakness and cowardice of modern people, which has been on full display in the West and around the world for the better part of sixteen months.
What strikes me about the System's mass communications and media in general is how savvy we moderns proclaim ourselves to be concerning these things. Nearly everyone I I know seems to understand the tactics and ploys the System uses in its communications. People everywhere appear to be aware of advertising tricks, persuasion techniques, and media manipulation. Yet when it comes to resisting the tricks, techniques, and manipulation, the very same knowledgeable and aware people are rendered completely powerless.
I believe this has to do with the process of despiritualization mentioned above. Once people refuse to understand themselves as primarily spiritual beings, they surrender the resources required to resist the various "approaches" the System employs in its communications. Once deaf and blind to all divine communications, modern people sever their connection to reality and become defenseless against the anti-divine communications of the System.
The despiritualized consciousness of modern people appears incapable of discerning truth from lies, beauty from ugliness, and Good from evil, which is a dream come true for modern advertisers, marketers, and propagandists. Assured of a "captive and receptive" audience, the System's communications departments are increasingly emboldened to ramp up their diversions and inversions because they know nothing they produce will be ever be meaningfully scrutinized, questioned, or resisted (mostly because despiritualized people have become literally incapable of learning).
The current and ongoing mass communications campaign focusing on the peck provides some clarifying insights into the System's tactics and motivations within the overarching global campaign of "none are safe until all are safe". The following is taken from a recent WEF piece (bold added):
The decision-making process for customers - or in this case patients - is often understood using the Hierarchy of Effects Framework. It suggests that customers think first, then feel and then do. In relation to the COVID-19 vaccine, this implies that patients need to first “think” about it, that is, become aware of and knowledgeable about the vaccine. Next, patients need to “feel” positively about it, as in developing a conviction to get the vaccine. Finally, patients need to “do” it - in other words, get vaccinated.
Most policy makers have emphasised the “do” stage by focusing on distribution and convenience via a combination of mass vaccination, hospital, physician, and drug store sites. This makes sense for the population interested in getting vaccinated. For the vaccine procrastinator, hesitant, and rejector populations, however, we need to focus on the “think” and “feel” stages of decision making. Without these stages, patients are unlikely to move to the “do” stage.

Think . . . One rural parish in the US state of Louisiana, for example, enlisted African-American preachers and local leaders to directly phone members of their community. This led to a 9% increase in the parish’s vaccination rate in a week.
Feel . . . One nurse in Louisiana deployed a particularly effective tactic. She called her vaccine-hesitant patients to talk about how she had been a vaccine skeptic but changed her mind after her husband passed away due to COVID-19.
. . . Another way to improve vaccine sceptics’ feelings is to play into a fear of missing out (FOMO), both socially and economically.
Do . . . First, incentives can work. Several US states and cities provide cash incentives and free transportation, or create lotteries and large block parties to incentivise vaccinations. Businesses should also be encouraged to contribute by providing paid time-off, free products and lottery giveaways.
We believe applying the “think - feel - do” patient-centered approach to the COVID-19 vaccine communication problem will improve efforts at accelerating global herd immunity. Ensuring a safe economic reopening and recovery and overcoming this significant health and economic challenge could depend on such tactics.
Think - feel - do.
Now that's an approach to self-damnation!
Note added: System distancing is more about discernment than it is about avoidance. Thus, the goal in system distancing mass communications and media is not to cut it out completely - though that certainly wouldn't be bad! - but to see the thing for what it is.
