I really don’t know why this did not get any coverage in the media.
Yes you do.
Why??
Social media and news is overwhelmingly controlled or otherwise influenced/flooded by the right or those acting on their behalf.
It’s pretty easy to explain too. Social media and traditional media are all owned by billionaires and they want to push a rightwing agenda because that means less taxes for them and fuck everyone else.
They are also pushing the identity politics, so we are distracted fighting among ourselves instead of uniting against them
I mean it wouldn’t be a problem if people didn’t get angry about minorities having rights.
The reason the rich are pushing right-wing politics is that they know socially conservative people are ready to give the wealthy whatever they want so long as they can tread on the humanity of minorities. So a large part of the problem is there truly are a lot of deplorable people who have some truly abhorrent views and the rich are taking advantage of that. Is the rich taking advantage a problem? Sure, but the bigger problem is that these people with these views exist in the first place and are easily manipulated.
If the rich could get tax cuts from pushing for social rights for minorities they would do that instead, but social liberals are less gullible than the conservatives.
I keep hearing this, and I’ve been ready to fight back against them for decades, but I don’t ever see the revolution.
Unless you count occupy wallstreet, which lasted like 2 weeks, and nobody remembers.
People have been asleep and okay with fascism as long as they have money in their pocket. Now, this breach with ethical behavior in the name of corporate America on the part of so many has gone full circle. In other words, this is what you get when you value money over people.
Its not even about taxes but straight up class warfare. Lately billionaires noticed that they are not as untouchable as they thought they were and now they’re aligned to fix this.
I keep one emergency leave day aside so I can celebrate when Rupert Murdoch finally fucking croaks
Yeah his kids are probably no better, perhaps even worse, but god damn I fucking hate that piece of shit
No, it’s not that it’s controlled. It’s that none of you participate or share this stuff. “They’re owned by X” argument is just an excuse.
You’re reading about it from someone who shared it right now. Derp.
That’s enough I suppose then.
Oh come on. You know.
I bet there’s some left leaning publications that would appreciate the tip?
In North America, most major mainstream news companies are owned by right-wing or right-leaning corporations. In Canada, I think it’s literally all of them.
I’m aware. But others do still exist and may be looking for a story.
Because they’re shitty little sites no one has ever heard of?
Whoop dee do. Yes, I’m sure the scum that were name dropped threw a couple of shillings in the pile.
And what kind of crazy revelations will come of this?! Well, maybe if something actually comes out, you’ll have your story.
Hacks rarely do to be honest.
Because they have to see if they are in it yet
