(1,521 posts)We let the government dumb down education for decades. We let the news media consolidate and control the message for decades. We let hate speech become free speech for decades.
Now it's come back to bite us in the ass, and we have no intelligent way to speak to the very people who need to hear us. They're too focused on Dancing With the Stars, The Voice, how to cook fancy cakes at eight years of age, whether some idiot plastic housewives from wherever are going to go drama llama this week, or who's going to backstab who on Survivor.
I mean, for fuck's sake. What is there to do? We have no MSM to reach people. And don't say "MSNBC" because that's a fucking joke and most people won't watch it. We need regular, over the air TV and radio, with education shows that explain stuff that's going on and how it affects every day people. Charts and shit, reports they can find without the Internet.
We need to change the education system so people actually learn critical thinking.
We need to stop people from lying and just getting away with it.
We need to stop the rich from shitting on us and calling it opportunity.
We need our leaders to stop whining about how they have no power, we have to appease the dictator, we have to kowtow to our own destruction.
And guess what? We will get none of this. Maybe ever. It's too fucking late. Well, outside of the one thing none of us want: military coup.
