(10,558 posts)I heard on my local progressive radio channel that the words corporate and corporations are trending very poorly with the American citizenry. You call out a fellow DUer for telling corporate manufactured lies. Are you suggesting he works for a corporation and is paid to spread lies here?
Fear is another thing which the corporatists use to control the thoughts of the citizenry. Your second third and fourth paragraph are meant to cause fear.
Fear as you well know, has been a great tool for the corporatists. It has been used to sway public opinion. It has been used to tear We The People apart. Hell, the bush administration used it to lie us into a war which cost humanity millions of lives and the American citizenry trillions of dollars. (Some of those dollars are being used today to sway public opinion even further by paying agencies and think tanks to come up with words that will keep us divided-and to pay folks to use those words.)
Your final paragraph indicates that you are unaware of our ER wards being used by the poor for medical attention for free. Have you never seen an ambulance tending to a homeless person out on the sidewalk of one of our cities?
We don't know each other but I just wanted you to know that I believe that someone paid by a corporatists to spread corporatist manufactured information could hardly have done a better job....
Just my humble opinion of course...
