This would be like if Canada got rid of all national newspapers, news broadcasters and news organizations and instead handed the responsibility of delivering the news to the people of Canada to one company owned by one billionaire who isn’t even Canadian.
We would never allow that to happen … but the fact that X exists and has so much power over people … we essentially made this possible.
At this point I don’t blame political parties or even individual politicians … I blame the American people who just keep putting up with this bullshit, justifying it all, half saying they are for it while the other half does nothing … and all of them saying its someone else’s fault.
America is generally just a nation of morons with nuclear weapons at this point.
Everyone always jokes about the French protesting everything … yet they’re the ones with better worker rights, better social benefits, better public health, better wages … meanwhile, the US never has mass protests and they have the worst worker rights, low wages, low taxes for the rich, high taxes for the poor, no public health care and few supports for the poor yet the country has the wealthiest people in the world.
There seems to be a pattern and the French figured it out a couple hundred years ago but the Americans haven’t.
Mute button … playing everything on mute until I’m ready to watch whatever it is I want to watch
The trade war wasn’t against Canada or Mexico or the world … it was directly against the American people and according to the belligerent, the American government is winning.
Mute button
It’s an old habit I had when all I watched was cable or satellite TV. Commercial comes on, hit the mute button, then do whatever … read a book, stare at the wall, go to the toilet, count my toes, get a snack … commercial is over, unmute.
Mute button, I’ve of the greatest inventions for any and all modern media formats.
I agree and I do my best to watch meaningful content myself like documentaries and programs that actually show or teach me something. However, I sometimes drift into complete stupidity and watch lots of nonsense crap before I realize what I’m doing.
The scary part is that I see lots of young people I’m related to just spending entire days watching complete stupidity all the time.
Might as well rewrite history and say that in the 1940s, America fought Central European powers with alternative government systems
GOP “By giving tax cuts to the rich, eventually some time in the future, it will mean you might get health care … somehow … which is why we need to give tax cuts to the rich”
Yeah … instead of important even life saving information, we’re fed a steady stream of absolute nonsense and even information that is the opposite of a PSA.
It also costs $100 with all proceeds going directly to Turnip
Watch as the MAGA crowd lines up
Governments don’t want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.
George Carlin
That’s the amazing thing human society. We all hold the power controlled by the few. Yet we all choose to believe that we can’t do anything about it all.
It was the same in the beginning, it was the same in the ancient past, it’s still the same today.
Turns out the detective had been chatting with himself the entire time
The rise? … I think this more like ‘taking off the mask’
America has always been like this, they just used to make a good show of it before … now they’re just acting like they always did, they just aren’t self conscious or apologetic about it any more.
All four of them carved onto a sacred natural site known to the Plains Indigenous people of the area as the ‘Six Grandfathers’
Isn’t it ironic that this list is being provided on Github?
If we’re using star wars themes … the US is more like Palpatine who somehow just keeps coming back to make everyone miserable.
Everyone always like to attack the welfare bum or the person trying to cheat a few hundred bucks out of the system
No one ever wants to talk about the millionaires and billionaires that pay little to no tax but want to have all their businesses subsidized and supported by the for free … millions of dollars at a time … when these wealthy idiots don’t need the money. The greatest twist to it all is that these wealthy morons are the same people that will argue that capitalism only works for the strongest, smartest and best individuals and companies … if you are so good and great, you don’t need government help or handouts to support your fantastic business.
