At some point we need to hit their pocket too.
33% of American didn’t even bother to show up and vote. They’re complicit in this, and they deserve the pinch to wake the fuck up as to what their country is doing.
And if that’s not enough, well… the sane ones might need to get off their ass and start doing something about the rampant assholes running around shitting on everyone.
Speaking of turnout, Ontario has an election coming up. Last time, Doug Ford (Conservative) was voted back in with a turnout of 43%. So about 57% of Ontarians didn’t bother to take a few minutes to vote. And now our healthcare and education systems are being dismantled for the sake of profit. Maybe on February 27th we can get a slightly less shameful turnout and vote for someone who will actually stand up for Ontario’s public services and stand up against the USA’s bullying and threats?
The biggest problem is the “wake-up” isn’t going to be in favor of reality. All blame is going to fall on the people working hardest to actually make effective change. There is far too much propaganda and yellow journalism in the US for that hurt to be directed in the right way.
It’s much easier to direct an angry mob with simple lies than complex truth.
You hit the nail right on the head.
As a person who lives in the U.S., the corporate ownership of the media is a huge problem. Pair that with the larger social media companies all censoring content now, and there’s no sense of ‘reality’ here anymore.
There are protests happening in major American cities, and they are only being covered by the local media of those cities, and their reach stymied online. It’s clear to me that the media is intentionally downplaying anti-Trump sentiment.
The same thing happened with the Iraq war protests both before and after Bush invaded. Massive protests in all the big cities and smaller ones in the small cities, all but ignored by the media. They only mentioned in passing that there even were protests–no footage, no live reports, just crickets. This has been going on with the media for well over 25 years. It all started going to hell after Reagan revoked the Fairness Doctrine. You can trace pretty much everything that’s led to the downfall of this country back to Reagan.
Got any stories about that? I mean local edia still has websites.
Great, sure, and I’m in the 33% that said, and is saying “hell to the power of fuck NO”.
Edit: By which I mean I voted against the current shitshow. Sometimes my engrish is unclear. ;-)
why didn’t you vote?
Ah, you misunderstand. Allow me to be explicit: I did vote against this shit show. Donvict47 won by 1.5%, and 19 million fewer voters in that election. It was voter suppression that won that election.
People not caring enough to vote isn’t “voter suppression”.
And how do you feel about propaganda that encourages people to not vote? If the propaganda effectively stops people from voting, e.g. bomb scares at polling places, or you’re not in a swing state so your vote doesn’t matter, would you call that suppression? Just asking.
There is evidence that voter suppression + not counting/disqualifying forced provisional votes created Trump victory.
Why don’t we bring our skills together in a massive co-op that pays us fairly, that starts to compete with these mega corporations
