It is becoming more and more obvious that we are not in charge but who is?
The Media has been mostly in charge. It has been a self-reinforcing worldview. Most of the Establishment Media took their cues from the New York Times, AP, The Washington Post, maybe Reuters. They, in turn, idolized vague notions of “social justice” and “equality”.
That destructive ideology is unhinged from reality; it has lead us further and further down the rabbit hole of society destroying policies. The ideology was reinforced and promoted by leftists everywhere; we may never know how much the former Soviet Union devoted resources to promoting “agents of influence” to spread this ideology in the U.S., but it was considerable.
The idea that giving people mony reduces poverty is a very short term view. Only a wealthy society can afford to make these mistakes. Even the Soviet Union required people to work if they were going to eat. They starved millions of people to death.
No one person is in charge. The ideology is like a virus. It infects society and makes it sick. The media should act like an immune system, exposing false ideas and ideology. But this ideology is rather like AIDs, in that it took over the immune system. Kind of like a computer virus taking over the virus protection program.
Exactly. Year after year, administration after administration, Congress investigates. The Dems and Reps squabble. The media focuses on the scandal du jour and mostly take the Dem side, although there are enough media on the Rep side to keep the entire soap opera going. In the meantime, congress critters who arrive in DC with middle or upper middle class net worths magically become multimillionaires in a few years. And us average Joes and Janes out here continue to be squeezed by the federal behemoth six ways from Sunday.
That pretty much sums it up, lol.
kinda like professional wrestling ...
yep, their squabbles bear more than a passing resemblance to pro wrestling
Well perhaps, but an unnamed source at O’Leary’s Pub down the street from me says Nunes conspired with Trump and the Russians to derail the righteous investigation of Trump!
I think you are right about how it started but now it is so orchestrated and all-pervasive one gets the sense of a vast conspiracy. Republicans and democrats, the educational system, entertainment and media, big business, just about anybody in any position of power, are all on the same team.
