(18,709 posts)We have lost all sense of "the commons". We have allowed ourselves to become so deluded by the constant barrage of media spewing the concept of "me first", "pull yourself up by the bootstraps", "the other" is taking what's rightfully yours,"our country is in moral decay and you should vote to preserve your beliefs", on and on and on...nevermind that those concepts have been carefully crafted and tested and marketed for years by the very people who want nothing more than to inrich themesleves at the expense of those who can least afford it. We've been systematically brainwashed as a society to place me above we. Only when our shitty decisions affect us are we moved towards outrage. (I realize I'm screaming to the choir here; I'm just pointing out the problem with the global "we" here not to those of us in the resistance!)
