(20,453 posts)Fear of a child running out into the street is one thing
But what about this
fear when a message driven over and over again to consumers of media (and all that media is owned by one entity repeating the same negative connotation the same subject) allows very powerful people (or those who are powerful and owe it to others who are even MORE powerful) to reach lots of other people who rely on controlled information, thus forming their boogie-man ideas from TPTB.
This prevailed propaganda has control over many. You really have to think for your own self. And when you see how similar people in high places start doing the same thing, you start to see that we shouldn't be fearful, so much as pissed off. We should rely on our own knowledge, not seek external validation of what 2+2 is
We should care if they aren't doing what is right for us in Congress, regardless of WHAT party they are.
When you start believing it's only because someone is this or that, you stop thinking for yourself because you've been given so much of this shit that you are frustrated.
