Thank you so much for this! Since I already know what I think and how I view things, I so much appreciate OP/threads where I get a feel of other people's thinking. It helps me overcome feelings of, "Don't others see this shit for exactly what it is?"
Cows moo. Lawn mowers mow lawns. Corporations seek profits. That's not to suggest that all corporations are bad, or evil in the non-religious sense. Corporate news is generally bad, misleading, and report too much misinformation for me to watch. The current "opinion journalism" of our era has elements of good and bad per CNN and MSNOW, with Fox being evil.
The human brain is a curious thing. Repeated exposure to lies changes the way people process information, with a reduction in rational thinking and an increase in emotional response. I am often reminded of Rubin telling me in 1974 that "a lie twice repeated becomes accepted fact in prison." Then add the power of the internet, and the human brain tends to get overwhelmed ..... and the person resorts to the dangerous shortcuts to thinking that has become so common these days. It continues to puzzle me why some of the people I have known since grade school, who seemed to be normal, decent people, think that as fans of the felon, that he cares about them, and would be buddies should they ever meet him.
It would seem to me that we need to define the current Project 2025 offenses as economic warfare. Put it in terms of the prices of groceries. That's simple enough that anyone who does grocery shopping understands. There are, of course, some who would recommend not going there. They are the wealthy, who even if they have not actively participated in it, have become wealthier. Economic warfare has been waged upon the American public -- Democrats, republicans, and independents -- for a heck of a long time. It's time we fight back.
