We (the USA) have been on a self-destructive course for decades. Of course we (the people) aren't making the decisions.
Still, if we were awake and roused enough, we could change things.
USA policies are such a clusterfuck, where do we even begin? Homelessness? Fractional reserve banking? Monopolism? Offshoring? Healthcare? Climate change? Education? Crime? Inequality? Wealth gap? Money in politics? War? Immigration? Budget deficit? Politicized federal justice system? Restoring the Bill of Rights?
I suggest if we start anywhere, it should be with our media (mainstream, social, entertainment and otherwise). Since our media is the handmaiden of corporatism (being oligopolies themselves) it censors everything we read, hear, and communicate. Most people in the USA have been mind-fucked, and they don't even know it.
We could start by breaking apart monopolies and freeing social media. You can't fix problems you don't even know exist. Rip it open and let freedom flow.

Watch: CNN Caught Color-Shifting Biden's Hell-Red Rant Mid-Speech
President Biden's Thursday night speech raised more than a few eyebrows - between the White House essentially declaring civil war with half the country, and the ominously authoritarian aesthetic - it became clear that Team Biden is embracing the 'Dark Brandon' meme created by Chinese propagandists.

So... Where do we start?

Our media is what it is. Nothing is going to change anything anytime soon. Besides, everyone already knows where to get "their" special version of the news that makes them feel good. I know the media is mostly a gay agenda-driven libtard wettest of wet dreams embarrassment, but when I can watch 10 episodes of Leah Remini in her prime from 20 years ago, and laugh out loud from the King of Queens himself, what can I say, theys gots me all a'glued!

Whether it's King of Queens or She Hulk: Attorney at Law, that's exactly what they want us to be doing.
P.S.

Midterms Just Bump In The Road For Mainstream Propagandists
The great paradox – and shame – of the New York Times, Washington Post, and many other prestigious news outlets is that they are brimming with top-notch reporters and editors who consistently produce stellar work. Yet, that distinguished journalism stands as a stark indictment of their political coverage, which insistently betrays the best traditions of the profession. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

They know that Hillary Clinton’s campaign manufactured the false claim embraced and amplified by the highest levels of the Department of Justice and the FBI that Donald Trump conspired with the Russians to steal the 2016 race. Instead of working to expose this massive effort at election denial, they advanced the conspiracy theory for years before working to cover up the truth as it emerged.
They know that significant questions surround the business dealings of President Biden’s son Hunter and his brother James – including evidence from their former business partner that the president himself lied about and profited from these deals. Instead of using their vast resources and talent to probe this alleged malfeasance, they have largely ignored the mounting evidence of corruption.
Instead of shining a light, they have intentionally kept their audiences in the dark regarding stories of the greatest consequence. (No doubt those readers were surprised to learn this week about record early voting in Georgia since the state’s new voting law had been described to them as “Jim Crow 2.0.” Likewise, they were probably shocked to learn that despite the plague of “systemic racism” in the U.S. health care system, whites are now more likely to die from COVID than African Americans.)
One can only wonder how those readers are responding to the polls which increasingly suggest big Republican victories in next month’s elections. Yes, the out-of-power party usually thrives in off-year midterms. But this anticipated red wave is taking place after most mainstream news sources have relentlessly cast the GOP as the second coming of the Third Reich.
Quote:
For months, Democrats and their powerful media allies have been treating Jan. 6 as if was Pearl Harbor or 9/11, issuing thousands of fearsome reports across their home pages and airwaves. The president created a bogeyman label – MAGA Republicans – which mainstream reporters have echoed to frame the coming midterms as a battle to save democracy.
No rational American who believes what they read and hear in the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Associated Press, NPR, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, The Atlantic, The New Yorker (and on and on and on) could possibly support the GOP. “If you care about the future of America, democracy and your own rights,” USA Today columnist Jill Lawrence declared, “don’t vote for Republicans. Any of them.”
Their house-on-fire coverage bludgeons Americans with the message that fascism and white supremacy are the real ballot measures at stake in the midterms and that our nation will become an authoritarian hellhole if Democrats do not prevail. In their telling, no decent person could vote for these monsters.
This message is not just false, it is despicable. It reflects a deep contempt for the American people. We are not a nation of haters. The vast majority of us hold sacred the rule of law under the Constitution. The mob who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6 are a fringe minority. Those who argue otherwise, which includes most Democrat leaders and their lackeys at prestigious news outlets, are the greater danger. They insistently demonize their opponents and divide the nation. Their constant alarms about a brewing Civil War sound more like a desire for conflict than a warning.
If the polls are correct, the looming midterms mayNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
Oh, I see that the Bedford Gazette has called for prosecution of Hunter Biden. Ok. Now we're getting somewhere. Finally, we'll see his cocaine/prostitute/extortion/bribe payoffs to Joe world come crashing down.

Next we'll go after Hillary Clinton's email server, GWB and Cheney's war crimes, and Ghislaine Maxwell will hand over the list of all the powerful people running our lives who were banging kids on Pedophile Island.
