The key to the behavior of subjects lies not in pent-up anger or aggression, but in the nature of their relationship to authority. They have given themselves to the authority; they see themselves as instruments for the execution of his wishes; once so defined, they are unable to break free. Plato's allegory of the cave is what 2500 years old? Boot lickers are just a part of human nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I have been hearing the news around our area all saying how they have no viewpoints and are not biased. All saying the same phrases. I wonder who is writing this stuff and sending it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your complaint is one about capitalism. Trying to change the subject to socialism is a convenient avoidance of any critical thought you may have regarding the consequences of the capitalist system.

They fucking suck and the public is waking up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subject isn't socialism or capitalism, its media bias/misinformation. The question is simple, do you think mainstream media outlets would be more factual if we had a socialist system in place? You're refusal to compare/contrast is a refusal to think critically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're trying to refute my criticism of the effects of capitalist control of mass media with a hypothetical scenario. Stop fucking relying on logical fallacies to comfort yourself.

akvanden Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Stop worrying about “msm” (that you guys link to when it suits you). Get your medical/vaccine/Covid info from any of the large medical institutions here in the US that do their own medical research. ….Or the FDA who’s approval you so desperately seek…..
