The thing that I think most people don’t realize, is that American media is 100% in support of the government being “fascist” or whatever they’re doing in DC right now. And the media landscape will only become MORE divisive with the recent round of mergers featuring the Oracle people. Cause at the end of the day, the media just wants us all to hate each other. If we’re too busy hating each other; we won’t have the desire to actually organize a G strike

    The shareholders who control the media directly profit off clicks on news articles. Divisive times and chaos drive clicks.

    Newscorp / Paramount / Comcast DIRECTLY PROFIT FROM A CHAOTIC TRUMP PRESIDENCY.

    What part of trump's government is «"fascist" or whatever» and not fascist to you? I get that you value positive action over hate, but sorry. Let's call a government that

    • Violently oppresses minorities
    • Obstructs and suppresses political opposition and the press
    • Disdains science, values religion
    • Is built on nationalism and supremacy
    • Is imperialist
    • With a strong focus on The Economy, aka interests of the elite

    For what it is. It's not being hateful, it's just keeping the seriousness of what's being discussed in sight.
