America’s descent into mass delusion isn’t happenstance. The demise of courageous journalism isn’t a happy accident. Its replacement with engagement-chasing infotainment and propaganda isn’t an error. It’s a global assault on reason and informed consensus, and corporations and authoritarian bullies like Donald Trump are both architects and benefactors. For decades, academics warned anybody who’d listen

    Authoritarianism and Fascism are basically the same word. You just agree with one of them.

      then we’re one in the same and the only difference is that you voted for your asshatery and fantasize about me; i’m glad to know that i live rent free in your mind while i have no clue who you are and never will.

                You admit to knowing nothing about me, and yet you make so many assumptions.

                You didn’t vote and you don’t have a job. That doesn’t somehow make you better than anyone. You just don’t participate and then complain when things don’t work out for you.

                What am I “spending” on? My mental health? lol.

                Some communist you are, not participating in or contributing to society, yet expecting things from it. What an entitled American lmfao.

                  speaking of assumptions… just wow. lol

                  i wish i could call myself a communist because it would mean that i have the necessary discipline to overcome my american nature; but i can at least attest that i vote like a communist and those guys vote just as reliably as republicans do.

                  how about your blue maga team; how reliably do they vote? is that why you lost election to trump? lol

                    Vote as reliably as republicans? So you voted for the worst thing you could find so that you could punish people around you for your own shitty life?

                    Yikes.

                    I am sickly satisfied that Americans are going to get what they deserve.
