Default The age of information has ruined politics.

Why haven't democratic countries swapped to a direct democracy?

Just make it where your political power depends on your total net worth. The richest person gets to be President.

If we're going to talk about true democracy, then socialism in the united states is a minority view. That means no. For at least right now. If you can't accept that truth, then expect more Trump's and possibly even another Hitler because you're not respecting democracy in the first place.

the contamination between conspiracy theories and what is customarily viewed as ’real politics' is mutual and irreversible. if the state uses a strategic weapon to distract the masses, this does not mean that the weapon always functions properly or reaches the intended target. strategy is a two-edged sword; contrary to the command perspective, the presence of strategy in the battlefield testifies against its fidelity and alliance. strategic weapons are not merely autonomous in their versatility, but also in their departure from the line of command. the use of trash politics by the state might conform to its micro-politics of anti-resistance, but like all strategic weapons, trash politics have ambitions of their own.

Well, yeah. The hegemony should not have chosen to open this can of worms. It will be their own undoing.

Take, for example, the tenure of the last administration. (((Their))) media mouthpieces utilized a wide array of disigenuous and nefarious means for twisting news in an effort to manufacture outrage, increasingly so, over the past two decades that culminated in an all out assault on all frequencies 24/7 and now they want to just turn the range back down to simmer.

On the same note, there is a considerable effort toward embellishing non-acheivements with the current administration but the people have become accustomed to utilizing the same lens to view all politik now.

As such, they've sealed their own demise, and the evidence of that lens being applied in areas never intended is prevalent in the public's now-view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Oh vey. Shut it down, indeed

So... That whole largest AM radio station in america, EIB, does not manufacture outrage at literally everything?? Turn it on and they are talking about how everything, and i do mean literally everything, is a conspiracy. They are coming to get you. Even the commercials are "THEY ARE COMING!! PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST".

They 100% of the time make up straw men, fake scenarios about how joe biden is using buses to take cars away from people. Get this. If your town gets a new bus, the bus is taking away cars from americans, because democrats dont like freedom of movement. The bus is designed to make you sell your car, forever, and never drive again. Be forever a slave to the bus. The people are not selling their cars to ride the bus, the bus is TAKING THE CARS from you!!! Its always a panic. He said that, today.

Tell me they are not manufacturing outrage. Literally providing transportation is seen as taking away transportation from people. How can you argue with that?? They see reality, like a FREE BUS, as TAKING something from them.

These people are brain washed. They see everything as a zero sum game. Nothing can help, it can only hurt. You're ALWAYS THE VICTIM. We get it. Just like donny rape.
