How do you address the material conditions of people who reject addressing the material conditions if it also helps someone who isn’t them.
I think the sort of help you're talking about is of political policy (ie free lunches at schools). I am speaking of direct action by volunteers (ie running a community pantry). When you engage in the community, conversations happen and that is when you can challenge biases in a non-confrontational setting.
If you cannot find solidarity in the masses then what is it you're looking for? A Vanguard party to reeducate the masses?
Nah, this is why citizens need guns. If a good guy with a gun was there then the body count would have been much lower. The car incident is why we should also give people their own personal shoulder mounted RPG.
only way to fix the media is to fix the voters.
This narrative serves the capitalist class and cannot be proven. You don't "fix" voters, you create solidarity by dealing with their material conditions (engage in mutual aid).
Musk just had a judge in Texas say they're going to review the bid. I guess we know who the other bidder was now.
We can blame voters or fix our media landscape. You can do both, but we need to do the latter to have a functioning democracy.
Consider that many people who watched the Joker and idolize him didn't get that the movie was speaking against the character. Fascists don't understand camp, and so they don't get that it's a critique unless the director explicitly tells them so.
Surrendering power and appeasing dictators, famous for not backfiring. /s
You wouldn't know it looking at his approval rating...
If Hillary and Cheney has anything to teach us, they roll out the disgraced politicians every 4 years to demoralize the base.
Those of us who are terminally online should definitely checking sources, but I don't think that is practical for those working two shifts and taking care of a family.
