Engaging with the theater benefits media companies (a.k.a. those in power). They make fat cash from the spectacle.

That's what you're trying to distract from.

this is bait, i swear you can turn off the tv and log off. as far as i know voting in the US does not include mandatory watching of state propaganda and cheering for the leader.

i fully endorse disengaging from propaganda machines, turns out telling folks that nothing makes a difference anyway is propaganda ("climate doomerism" may be an interesting and related read)
