We keep exposing the tyrants but it doesn’t seem to matter because the corporate media just protects them. Meanwhile half our countrymen are so TV-obsessed and submissive, they do not see what is happening. Think about socialism in the Soviet Union or Cuba or Venezuela. Once the tyrants take total control, then there is no longer disagreement on the ground (even if unspoken) that living under a tyranny is shit. But by that point it’s too late and it usually takes decades to crumble. Our fellow countrymen who are duped by the TV do not see that the world they are fighting for will turn on them too.
I guess people are waking up slowly. But this whole problem of the media is that they keep putting them back to sleep. It’s just the relentless nature of it. Even those of us who are trying to avoid the TV to not even get sucked into that narrative are still picking it up all around us. Snippets here and there. Plus the people on our side (lots of them) are stuck inside the TV too, so it ends up steering the narrative, even if it’s only us beating back against it.
And I guess we do need to beat back against their narrative, but that also puts us on the defense, constantly reacting to them. Nowadays I often feel that this is its own trap. They get us talking about AOC’s dress one day, then the border the next day, then trannies the next day. But are these even the things we should be focusing on?
Like I almost think the best thing we could do to defeat Covid is ban all Covid discussion on T_D and GA. Not that we disagree with it, but direct it to its own win. Put the focus back on Trump and Q. Then to think about Covid you would have to look it up, instead of everything everywhere just being about Covid. I don’t even know if this would work but these are the kinds of new ideas I think we need.
