We’re told that we don’t have functional health care, cheap fiber broadband, or functional gun control – not because the companies with a stranglehold over these sectors have lobotomized government norms and ethics – but because of some sort of intangible, inherent, and largely mysterious failure of human collaboration.
This is something you’ll see often. It’s a rhetorical trick to deflect attention away from the fact that the extraction class and consolidated corporate power (who not coincidentally own the lion’s share of modern media) have demolished the structural support pillars holding up a functional democracy.
they love to pretend it doesn’t exist while simultaneously imagining an antifa-leftist front out there hatching diabolical schemes to topple the gov…
then they go and pardon all the proud boys and j6 shitbags.
Pretend, distract, ignore.
Sinclair and Ellison bought everything. Either it all follows the Conservative script or it gets sued.
That is because all the media outlets are owned by like six families who benefit from corruption
And we should all collectively decide those families don’t get to exist anymore! But we don’t
Guillotines are too expensive due to tarrifs.
Can we still afford rocks?
no… much worse-- The US media loves to pretend that all of this corruption is both normal and perfectly acceptable
The US media loves to pretend that all of this corruption is not corruption at all.
Nope. Even worse, the US media is owned by the people robbing you, and actively controlling what you see, and don’t see. They probably employ thousands of good journalists. But they aren’t going to let those employees investigate the individuals that ultimately own their organization. They aren’t going to expose the people behind everything because those people are their bosses.
Even if they wanted to tell the truth, where could they go and give that information in a manner that would be respected and trusted but would still maintain their anonymity?
