Pass the popcorn ... this strikes me as a set-up for further corruption, or the set-up to a house cleaning that will be immediately turned I to a made-for-TV movie. With such clearly defined villains and victims, it could be a chance for redemption by self-demonstration or maybe just a dumpster fire of corruption.
You complain about fake news and then post a link to a anarchist website which is fake news on a good day?
You just revealed your hand, comrade.
I sincerely hope that progressives understand that they're defending the will of the people - and use people power. Sign up democrats and teach them to vote in primaries.
People working for the groups like those on your link are the reason so many young Democrats stayed home in 2016. They believed the lies.
Each thing evokes it's opposite. Society produces archetypes to stop this sort of thing, bit the media has been co-opted. The political party has been infiltrated by industry, consulted by the very same think tanks that sell foreign policies that are somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan
When was this never true? Not just the US, as I recall the Belgian Congo got it's name for a reason, as did the Spice Islands, and I believe we took over from the FRENCH in Vietnam.
So what? You have benefited.
The trouble with these headless movements, is that they succumb to mission drift. They're dragged into a bubble that resembles a rigged thunderdome from Mad Max. It's great for ratings, but the corporate media business model requires big money being paid by advertisers that (coincidentally) are owned by the same corporations.
Nobody watches cable news any more, but whatever.
The people can't see where the media company begins and the industrial giant begins. They also can't see where McDonnell-Douglas ends and the Defense Department begins either.
McDonnell-Douglas? You mean Boeing? Why do you try talking current events? You clearly don't pay attention.
We have a model for a constitutional republic that the compact created to gain (the perception of) consent from the people. That's taught in school, but it's an inch deep and a mile wide.
If the US had an average 75% voter turnout every year it would be a different place. The government we have is - by default - the one we want. If you are too selfish, lazy, or stupid not to vote what happens next is on you. Corporations don't vote, but the people who work for them, and the people who do business with them, and the people who benefit from them tend to vote their way. Agriculture companies pay the taxes in my area that pave streets, and maintain infrastructure, so I tend to vote in their interest.
Over-top of that greatly over-praised model, we have a control fraud perpetrated by the compact that created the command structure. It's reason has changed. A tycoon doesn't want to lay the people to fight a war - taxes are expensive. So, a captain of industry would build his own ship and call himself a "commodore", just as some had sent horses to the cavalry, others equipped fully equipped cavalry regiments.
And, comrade, peace is more profitable than war any day of the week. Free and honest trade makes for a healthy, vibrant peace.
The battle for hearts and minds is what drove post WW2 propaganda, because compact and command had a common external enemy. Russia is not communist, nor the Soviet Union, but there is a three-letter agency out there that needs that part of the world map to be coloured as a threat.
Your hero, Stalin, would disagree with you. The Poles and the Czechs would disagree with you. South Korea would disagree with you.
History says otherwise.
The CIA is struggling with institutional survival, so, an ideological treat from the Soviets, is being turned into a blood-feud with Russian people.
No. The days immediately following the fall of communism says otherwise. Nobody wants to kill Russians. The problem is Putin, and Putin is the focal point for every DoS and CIA position paper.
Russia was an ally until 1945. Russia defeated Nazi Germany with 20m lives. I think it was Eisenhower that said every Westerner owes them a debt of gratitude.
Yeah...I let this one stand by itself.
How does the media con work ? The two party system is only a slight variation on the one party system. At elite levels, it's explained that a one party state will defeat a multiple party state because the will of the people is easier to get. More "unity" (or the perception of unity).
...to keep the workers of the world from uniting?
Its done wjth interlocking boards of directors with about 130 executives that have discretionary spending power. That money is spent on media coverage ... sending g reporters to this candidate, not because they're pro-war and pro-Wall Street, but because they're at 2% in this bullsh!t poll ...
You're going to need to site a reference for the existence of this evil cabal, comrade.
Everything you posted is like an old Pravda editorial.
D ), should be done about this? Would you like the state to regulate the media? Would you prefer all media to be state-controlled? Alternatively, would you like the media to remain independent, and allow people to make up their own minds about which outlet they choose, and what they think about politics?
