Because the media, often called the 4th estate here is long dead. For the better part of the last century it's increasingly been a corpse reanimated by the ownership class. And now the remaining rotted flesh is being scrapped and stretched over constructs of silicon and steel.

There's constantly little trickles leaking out. Showing that Americans aren't that divided. That we agree far more than we disagree. But that doesn't sell your attention span. Fascist media is always ready with someone powerless minority group to blame for our problems. Liberal media always there to tell us to be outraged and march against it. Pitting us against each other. Just so what recently happened doesn't happen. Where we can look at each other and collectively identify the oligarchs as the problem.

While we shouldn't denigrate formal education like conservatives and fascists. We also shouldn't discount those educated outside it's walls. Being against the man is a fine start. Everyone should be. The trap is being so ideologically against the man. One can't engage with the man when circumstances make it necessary.

Unfortunately many will never have the time to develop critical thinking skills. Or want to. Many are content to be good sheep. And there's nothing we can do to change that. What we might be able to do is remove the wolves shepherding them.

One of the first steps to doing that is to abolish the notion that it's wrong or impolite to talk politics in polite company. If we cannot talk about it amongst friends, family, and acquaintances. Who can we? Are they then to be left to go home, indoctrinated by the reanimated corpse of the 4th estate. Completely unopposed? Because that's how we got here.

We need to learn to talk to each other again. About politics and all manner of things forbidden by the ownership class. Radio, TV, Papers and social media especially. Are complete tools for propaganda at large. And they have easy marks while we continue to hold our tongues. Whether or not you agree with Mangioni, it's clear to see their terror when we actually talk about it. Not just repeating their narrative.

We would be better served by engaging in areas where we agree. Engaging less in the wedge issue culture culture wars being manufactured. (Not abandoning the minorities being targeted) Pushing back collectively against the propaganda. They aren't prisoners being held against their will in some cave. They're the ones keeping themselves there. But there's nothing from stopping Society at large from storming in their self-imposed isolation with torches. Casting their own Shadows on the wall. The dim Shadows they chase are only allowed to persist. Because we are told not to disturb them.

We got ourselves an optimist here! I sincerity hope you're right. But 40 years on and they still worship terrorists like Reagan. Call me sufficiently jaded. But I would love to be surprised.

I would hesitate to call many of them poorly educated. While there are plenty of those people in there. Your socialist friend was likely decently educated. But still manipulated and taken advantage of. It's can happen to any of us despite how much we would protest and deny it.

One of the biggest problems left or right. Is people putting ideals over reals. It was rampant here for instance. All the people screaming about Biden and Gaza but quiet on everything else. Whose own ideological Purity was more important than everything else. They were fine that more children would starve die and be murdered so long as they could maintain their ideological purity.

Ideology short circuits intellect. And makes you easy to manipulate. Providing simple but wrong Solutions to complex problems of life. Much like cults. We all want to have Solutions or at least appear knowledgeable. Too many people are afraid to say that they don't know. And defer to people who actually might.

NY post is a propaganda outlet. So yeah.

Well maybe not as hard as Inigo Montoya.

As a resident I agree 100%. There's just too much lead poisoning state for things to get better any time soon. 🤐

Love or hate them. But performance wise, LTT had a glowing review of the new battlemage GPUs.

On the one hand I am absolutely for the abolishment of many felonies. And reintegration and Felons into society. But on the other hand f*** Donald Trump why can't Missouri do anything actually clearly good and not name s*** after unrepentant fascists.

Yes. That was the point of what they posted. None of those groups are what they claim to be beyond nominally.

While this is true. Anything less than an objectively bad framing on Trump will be just more fluffing of him. He doesn't care if coverage is slightly negative as long as he's being covered. If they don't outright call him a grifter liar and a monster. They will have failed still.
