>> Once you divide the people and get them to attack each other,
Have you noticed that most bemoan the MSM talent and network, but ignore the fact they’re committed subscribers to Comcast?
Nothing changes until the wallet begins to make decisions.
Good point but the decision alternatives can be few.
The way the oligarchy works is to allow a menu of ‘choices’ but all the choices are put on the menu by a few controlling oligarchs who own controlling interests in all the ‘menu choices’.
For example, I am not subscribed to Comcast Cable. I am not subscribed to any cable news provider. I do not have any television programming in my home but I am well-informed, even more than TV watchers because I stream all content into my home devices using hi-speed internet.
But I use Xfinity to stream my content. However, Xfinity is Comcast.
My consumer brand alternatives to Comcast, my ‘menu choices’ are Centurylink and WAVE Broadband. Both Comcast and Centurylink stem from previous RBOCs, they are assets of the same controlling interests. WAVE Broadband is owned by a private equity group with members that are part of the oligarchy.
This is not to say we are all screwed. There are disruptive technologies now emerging that will radically change the status quo in favor of more freedom and independence. But with these technologies, the oligarchy is buying as much tech talent as possible to corner and control the market where these new technologies will grow.
And every bit of this quest for control of the menu is funded by ‘liquidity facilities’ set up by the Central Bank aka The Fed.
