You could argue that’s what industry-millitary complex is already doing. Along with the media.
Had a quick glance at this study. Forgive any mistakes, but I have a few “faulting” observations:
That’s just the point. These failings are common. That means we all fall prey to these faults from time to time. Just remember when you point a finger, at least three get pointed back to you.
While I agree with you, at what stage would you find a job just not worth the carnage?
I take your point. However, fascists are not the only movement that can co-opt. I didn’t say the DNC has to remain as it is currently.
The enemy wants you to throw your hands up and declare the DNC a lost cause. Not all of them are external.
Be a royal pain in the ass, shout down the adversary, do sit ins, gum up caucuses and for heaven’s sake, throw out “servility politics”.
The only disagreement I have is with the rather sweeping statement:
They keep you poor, and you can’t see through their bullshit.
As it makes it seem that the poor are ignorant, gullible rubes. Lack of money ≠ lack of wisdom, or insight.
I think calling conservatives “dumb” is needlessly inflammatory, and what’s worse, is it’s incorrect. They just fall for a common human failing: confirmation bias, amongst other well known fallacies.
We see the games they play and it appals us. Unfortunately it’s the only game in town. To change the game, you’re not only fighting the DNC and RNC, but network effect and inertia. And some of us don’t have the luxury to risk it. Even if it leads to a better world.
The last one reminds me of the Paradox Of Tolarence
I think the difference be between Briana’s and George’s killing and why one got the limelight was two fold. One could have maybe explained away as an honest mistake or a bad situation. The other was pretty blatant malice. George being the latter. Outrage takes time to build and can dissipate quickly. It maybe the public had just reached a tipping point after months and years of unlawful killing by police of black people, mostly male, mostly young.
I think the offense people took with your reply is due to the historic “he was no Angel” excuse. As a way to justify the inexcusable, cold blooded murder.
I disagree. It’s an projection from positions in Project 2025, Trump’s own desire for presidential immunity, the No More Political Prosecutiins Act and his admitted wish to be a dictator (for a day).
I don’t find the two comments aren’t equally valid as critique. Trouble is, the other guy is at least equally subject to the same critique.
Or that there will be a next guy at all. He could cancel the elections. Make himself president for life.
I’m sceptical, the only difference between news sources is how your bias gets confirmed, or not. Even “impartial” sources use framing and subtle use of words to push an opinion. There’s a reason exceedingly rich people invest in news outlets. It’s a loss leader. They are purchasing a 20k watt sound system to drown out any opposing view.
I looked at it and despaired how intertwined Israel is in the global economy. A full boycott will be a real sacrifice. You’d be surprised how wide ranging their influence is.
The real question is do we have enough access to cheap green tech? A further, more probing question is: what are we willing to sacrifice to get it? Potential things on the chopping block:
As to the last one, as the recent pandemic showed, consolidating manufacturing to one country/area can make the global economy quite fragile to economic, environmental, societal and political shocks.
Conservatives: “Hey want to hear a joke?” Transphobia
Followed by hur hur hur.
I was referring to their power base. If there was no cultural pain there, there would be nothing to exploit to remain in power so that they an perpetrate this atrocity.
This is the outcome of Capitalism . Even the new Open Access Operators are no guarantee of sustainable salvation. As Capitalism in a free market will always seek to acquire and merge. Or out compete and destroy competition.
