        We all (as in Americans) need to come to grips with the fact that we stopped demanding tangible improvements in our lives and not the hypothetical.

          I read in Broken Clock Peter Thiel’s book that since a lot of improvements in QOL are due to tech discovered during the space race / (growth of US empire, he doesn’t admit that part), there are multiple generations conditioned to assume that “progress” is automatic.

      Because mainstream media has always been the enemy.

      Congress woman LaMonica McIver was charged and faces up to 17 years for trying to view an ICE facility she was legally allowed to because they’re claiming she assaulted them on trumped up charges.

      Because there are men with guns who wouldn’t like that. And typically, media people aren’t the kind who own and use guns. So they tend to be scared about covering things that the men with guns strongly dislike.

          Will the congressman personally guarantee the safety of every media figure that reports on this? Legal rights are a nice fiction, they don’t actually protect you.

              It sure is a good thing that the 2 largest social media sites aren’t owned by billionaires who are backing Trump.

            Sure if you can show me that’s necessary. Things are bad, but I’m not sure if they’re federal agents openly executing reporters bad.

            The truth is nobody is reporting because all of our media is owned by corporate conglomerates. Their owners don’t want them to report

            I’m not even saying that cops haven’t harassed reporters before, they absolutely have, and yet reporters still did their jobs until recently
