In February 1996, after former U.S. Republican Party political strategist and NBC executive Roger Ailes left cable television channel America's Talking (now MSNBC), Murdoch asked him to start Fox News Channel.

As said before, households without fathers or even any parents

Being able to lose oneself in the dark corners of the internet more easily and for longer

Ever-increasing American sexualization leaving virgins feeling emasculated and sexually frustrated

Maybe a rise in mental health disorders that contribute to social isolation

Sorry, I mean

I hardly ever see kids out playing in the town I grew up in, where we played and other kids played. Granted spaces have changed, there is more to do around which might contribute, but it doesn't change the fact that a literal entire group of American were born & raised on that device and their thoughts, feelings and outlooks will be changed by it.

This is why Steve Jobs is dead. You can't radically alter reality like that and not pay a huge price. For better or worse, he did. His widow courts DC politicians on his boat. I am sure they all thought it was just a money-printing machine.

It's dangerous when our own public don't even know their rights and they are targeted online by every Chinese Wolf Diplomat, Aussie God-forsaken shitposter or run of the mill trolls from abroad. Then these people start voting.. but that is downstream from politics, politics are downstream from social movements/culture. Their culture and social movements stem from 'World Wide' internet instead of home.

30 years ago you say?

[Mblake1981]

lol

We always talk about how "america is the only country that has freedom etc etc"

But then we also hear people say this is the only country where this happens so is that the problem?

What'd we do to be "more free" like 30 years ago? What is it about the millennial generation that suddenly turned them into mass murderers?

Was it getting rid of the klu klux klan? Serious question. Im not suggesting it's a solution, just always wonder that when people say "this didnt used to happen" I always think, didn't we used to invite the Mayor?

Good theories up in here. I'm liking the influence of what was behind the curtain.
