Georgia's Democratic congressman David Scott has died at age 80. Scott was the first Black chairman of the House Agriculture Committee and was seeking his 13th term in Congress despite challenges from within his party.
Like there’s not a possibility for imperialistic capitalist democracies to develop an autopoietic culture/spectacle for producing the exact same effect as you describe, distributed and self perpetuating, without any sort of need for shadowy cabals. Like the selfish greed of hundreds/thousands of billionaires enabled by a leaky political system don’t add up to the same shit, just more powerful and less conspiratorial.
I wish there was a shadowy guy in the background. That would make it pretty easy to point my finger and say, “hey, THATS HIM!!!” But unfortunately, that’s not the case.
It’s not one shadowy guy in the background. It’s Stephen Miller, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, Roger Ailes, and Rupert Murdoch, literally standing right next to Donald Trump.

There doesn’t seem to be any sign of it. It would strongly help your point if people weren’t on average much better educated than at any time in our history.
The “People today are dumber than ever” is such an old tired trope. Every generation has said the same thing. Kids these days are stupider than we were, people today are just less educated, blah blah blah.
If it were true then the entirety of humanity by now would be unable to function.
That is such a stupid take.

I can come back with DOIs if you’d like to read up on the topic.
Hardly. They can both be true.

I didn’t even entertain that argument, so I’m not sure why it would be relevant. Education being better today hardly matters for what I said.
Then I have no idea what you’re on about since that was the start of the entire conversation.
