54. "The Media" is now synonymous with "The Ruling Class"

Mon Dec 9, 2024, 02:33 PM

Dec 9

I think it's something the resistance can shift the narrative with.

We have rulers in this country, they installed Donald Trump into power. Trump is the leader of the ruling class and he's appointed other members of the ruling class to help run our government not for the benefit of the people, but for their own benefit.

The idea that the media is separate from the ruling class is what's got to go. The media is owned by billionaires and they control what we are presented. The differing view points are really just to give an illusion that there are sides to the media when really the media is just dpoing the bidding of the ruling class in different ways. The media isn't screwing up by normalizing Trump, they're doing exactly what the ruling class told them to do.

So the ruling class has decided to normalize doing away with birthright citizenship, probably as a way to distract us from something else that is worse.
