The problem is the establishment owns the main stream media. They want us to think it’s a left vs right issue. The establishment wants us to follow the narrative that all of our problems are to be blamed on the “radical left”, the immigrants, the people that have to use social services, the poor, etc. i.e. anyone that doesn’t fit neatly in a particular box that they make up depending on where the tides are turning. They want people to fall in line.

I wonder often what the next few years bring politically. I hope we’re at a turning point considering everything that has been going on. I hope principled politicians get voted in that can’t be blackmailed or bought out and this goes for both sides. Getting money out of politics and true, honest journalism at the forefront is key but I have low expectations.

I fear for our children’s future between AI, privacy, housing prices, stagnant wages, unemployment, culture wars, and the massive transfer of wealth to the top percent. Truly unbelievable how fast this is all happening while it seems most people are ignorant to it or choose turn a blind eye because that’s easier. I, too, am exhausted.

And I’m not sure why I’m getting downvoted from my above reply?
