  • It makes a lot of sense that we live in oligarchies when you realise that the entire economic system — every business — is an oligarchy; competing with other oligarchies. Businesses where the majority owner/shareholder is 1 person are basically dictatorships. Family owned businesses are dynasties. We’re really a stones throw from the feudalism and monarchs of old.

    It’s kind of mentally ill to believe that the entire economic system could be structured this way, but the political system could be democracy; the exact opposite…







  • The exact same thing has happened across all of 5 eyes, so I assume all of 14 eyes and probably the rest of the developed world; successive conservative and neoliberal governments have “starved the beast” by cutting public funding, appointing morally bankrupt leadership, etc, etc.

    It’s almost like this wholesale destruction of public broadcasting is all by-design of our capitalist oligarchies, to benefit the private media propaganda machines they have constructed in parallel.
