Watching #KarenHunter talk about the propaganda causing brain rot in so much of the country. Then it occurred to me that our system of capitalism is SO predatory that we don't just get assaulted with propaganda, we are made to *pay* for it as "entertainment", and if we resist, we're admonished to "be part of the conversation". It's as BS as making a fast food chain employee pay for their uniform. #FightFascismEverywhere
Loved the latest from @pluralistic about the need for complexity in a healthy system and the conservative impulse toward simplicity. Re forests v. farms, I actually refer to those monocultures as plantations, because that's basically what they're there for (and as far as most conservatives are concerned, that is nature's "purpose").
