We had an easy answer - a decent paying job that offered a decent lifestyle and a hope for a better future but the rich took it away.

It is the sorting of the grain from the chaff.

Imagine a world where news was balanced and progressives had equal media representation.

A cashless society means your overlords will have COMPLETE control of your lives. Of course the oligarchs will have secret avenues of cash for themselves.

Seriously, if you are AWARE of propaganda, you are also aware that you have been influenced by it. Propaganda is pervasive in civilizations. It is simply manipulation. TV ads and guys trying to pick up chicks are everyday uses of propaganda.

Brooks spent years promoting Republicans on this slippery slope, as did many “woke” former Republicans like Michael Steele, Steve Schmidt, Bill Kristol, Sarah Longwell and John Bolton.

Of course Republicans have switched to a narrative that says things need to be shaken up to set the country on the right course.

Eventually bugs will adapt and learn not to bit those with ivermectin in their blood.

“My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.” - Carl Schurz:

It’s our civic duty to make our country better.

Some people may need to move because because they aren’t safe here right now.

Some people need to be removed, one way or another.

the DNC is the last place to find actual conservatives these days.

There is a good reason for this. Money to win elections comes from CONSERVATIVE corporations and populism isn’t on their wish list.

Nearly $3 billion USD flowed through the TRUMP cryptocoin

But wait, there’s more. Us taxpayer money will now be used to “invest” in these crypto scams.

Perhaps a better question is, “What are you doing to help?”.
Supporting a national strike, canceling Amazon, leaving FB, might be a good start. Contacting you representative who doesn’t represent you seems to be futile. Maybe flash protests?

Probably the oligarchs. They have been trying to install fascist dictatorships for a very long time.

Mostly sales and the self projection of being "cool.

You misspelled, pig.

The culture of incompetence, crime, failure, and collapse will become normalized? Not on my turf.

You are being way too optimistic. A lot of people will needlessly die, not only from violence but also disease, starvation, suicide and natural disasters.

You underestimate Putin’s psyops and overestimate people’s intelligence.

People will be in danger either way with the violence prone goons in power. If you are armed, there will be justification to shoot you. Protest at more public and friendly places. That way you will likely have allies nearby. Also, folks need to be situationally aware and plan an escape path if things turn too dangerous.

I save most of my seeds and buy super good seeds from the Ukraine for cheap, also do all my garden work with a hoe, shovel and 5-tine fork. Just dug another 15 pounds of the sweetest carrots, not at all like the tasteless ones you get at the grocery store. I mulch with leaves and old hay that are free. One bag of organic fertilizer lasts two years. We give a lot of extra produce away every year. Had to start selling some garlic to get rid the extra. Masanobu Fukuoka and Ruth Stout were my inspirations for low labor gardening. Did I mention I’m pretty lazy?
