Just a guy, geodetic surveyor by trade, political junky and horror streamer lover by night... But hates the horror genre. (The streamers are so wholesome) I play story rich and sim games, and on the weekend I love museums with friends or sailing.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

Via Wikipedia: The Nazi regime used the concept of "fake news" by weaponizing the German term Lügenpresse ("lying press") to dismiss independent journalism, foreign reporting, and critical facts as deceitful enemy propaganda.

Sorry? Not sorry. If you're upset and trying to prevent history from being taught to hide the truth, then fuck your feelings. You learned nothing and are the exact same assholes as your ancestors.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

Headlines: Such-and-such technology may someday be as smart as human brains! Reminder: *We already have human brains.* Billions of them. Most of them living in poverty and being exploited for the obscene benefit of a tiny number of the worst people in the world.

IMO, it's a refusal to grow and change as the world grows and changes. Instead of moving forward, they're always looking back; to a time where they feel they had control. They use fear and hate to stay relevant in a world that is moving on without them.

If you have enough money that you can blow $100,000,000 on avoiding taxes, you have enough money to pay $100,000,000 *on* taxes that will help your fellow citizens, you self-centered prick.

So many immigrants I've interviewed break down about this.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General. It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree.

Western press expressed more horror at October 7 than the far more egregious Israeli abuses which led up to it and the far more egregious Israeli abuses which followed.
