    Why do we keep referring to this as a democracy when government only ever represents wealth, power and corporations.

    It’s a system that people only ever fight and seldom ever actually represents people anymore

        The solution won’t be talked about either because of big scary words that people have been conditioned to not respond to or respond negatively to.

      The propaganda campaigns are very successful, just like the ones claiming we somehow have a corner on free speech.

      As someone who grew up in a relatively isolated rural area in the midwest US, it’s incredible how much BS I’ve had to unlearn from international sources.
