Corporate media has driven us so far right that the progressive left, like AOC and Bernie, David Hogg and the rest, are actually center. But note that the catchphrase for them is always 'far-left.' That is the label that has been assigned by the billionaires and Wall Street to sap their credibility and they do this through fear. So they call them socialists and communists because there is still a great swath of older Americans who were propagandized to have a knee-jerk reaction to progressive policies.
I mean try touting even raising taxes on billionaires on social media and you will find yourself surrounded by people who tell you to get a job, or accuse you of wanting them to support you. This is because they have been brainwashed as part of Powell's 1971 plan.
I mean look at Vought, the author of Project 2025 - "The coup will be bloodless if the left lets it be."
And think about the 2024 campaign. We donated over a $billion to Harris and God only knows how many more billions to downticket Dems and the billionaire parasites matched us dollar for dollar.
And who benefited? SHAREHOLDERS in the media companies because if huge ad revenue. Certainly not us.
I get dozens of texts and emails every day from Dems asking for donations so they can 'fight' for me. I'm not donating any more. The reason is the institutional Democrats. They are fine. Their big donors are fine. So they content themselves with 'strongly worded letters' and continue to talk about how these cuts will 'hurt' Americans.
News flash - the billionaire don't give one solitary single shit whether we live or die, and they would be much happier with docile fearful wage slaves. I mean think about your early school days. I'm 66 - we had hootenanies in elementary school where we sang songs like Blowin in the Wind and If I Had a Hammer. We learned Aesop's fables. This was moral instruction, and part of Powell's 1971 plan was to insert 'concerned parents' into school boards and drive wedges that gradually reduced this moral instruction. This left younger generations without that moral compass and particularly vulnerable to the sophisticated propaganda coming from the right-wing news outlets (they learned these techniques from the Chinese, who used this our our guys captured in the Korean War), and our descent into a 'consumer society.'
Remember when W got asked how we could help, what sacrifices our people should be making in the 'war on terror?'
Remember what he said? Keep spending. Keep buying stuff. Ignore the war.
See what I mean?
I guess I'm getting tired of cooperating. I'm getting old and no longer fear death quite as much. Because fear is the main chain they are trying to bind us all with - fear of losing our jobs, fear of deprivation, fear of 'commies,' 'sosh-a-lists,' transgender people, gays, Muslims, Jews, fear of suffering, fear of not having enough. Those are the chains Wall Street and billionaires have forged to bind us, link by link, yard by yard.
So I guess, stop being afraid. Speak out. Don't cooperate. Resist. Use your vote for progressives. Be active in your local community. Build community. I don't know what else to say because our two-party system has been so corrupted by the raw greed of a few parasites that it isn't working now. So do good, obey the laws, but build community because we have to get out of this fear and start caring for one another.
