If you think the US is a Democracy, and not just a complicated form of slavery that benefits the few, you really aren't paying attention.

@Kalshann @anolandria This is why the Left/Right divide is so important and has been stoked up so vigorously.

If we're divided between gender theory and prayer in schools, we are not voting 60/40 for our bottom line interests.

Which we should be.

@mike805 @Kalshann @anolandria

This is exactly the purpose of Fox "news":

Fox: "The War on Christmas!"
MAGA: "Grrr!!!"

Fox: "Drag shows!"
MAGA: "Grrr!!!"

Fox: "Obama wore a tan suit!"
MAGA: "Grrr!!!"

Keep them angry about fake shit that doesn't affect them, and they'll always vote for the billionaires without thinking.

@beeftacos @Kalshann @anolandria It was equally the purpose of CNN for the last few years.

"Trump is doomed because..." over and over again.

"The war on (identity group) intensifies."

"New variant of COVID, run and hide! (while we make money)"

The partisan media on both sides are the left and right hands of a puppeteer. They argue with each other keeping the audience's attention while their pockets are picked.

The Left never gets what they were promised any more than the Trumpies do.

@mike805 @beeftacos @Kalshann Exactly right. The for profit media/political system is designed to keep us fighting each other so we don't realize the real problem is that a very few evil people live in opulence on the backs of the rest. The US revolution's attempt to end royalty failed.

All we got rid of were titles.

Their power, and our servitude, stayed largely the same.

It's time we tried again.

@anolandria @beeftacos @Kalshann Quite a bit more detail is possible there. The USA broke away from the British financial empire with the Revolutionary War.

The war of 1812 was the first attempt to take it back, but that failed.

The slavery issue was stoked up until the Civil War broke out. That got the USA back into debt serfdom, and it has never escaped since.

British agents and early Zionists had a major role in getting the USA into WW1.

The Empire partially moved to the USA after WW2.
