In reply to the discussion: NSA spying and inequality are deeply, inextricably linked. [View all]woo me with science
(32,139 posts)34. "All our grievances are related."
As I've watched more and more people waking up all over the country, that's what they all say WOKE them up: a dawning (or sudden) realization that the root problem in ALL these issues is the same. We are bought and sold by the bloodsucking corporate One Percent and their purchased politicians.
Every single issue is propagandized separately, but the thread in common is that we are bought and sold, and they are stripping our protections and monetizing every single aspect of our lives in order to buy and sell us some more. Once people realize that and can start to pay attention and follow the money *in every single issue,* they see through the bullshit and the propaganda.
Good post - Thanks.
