Last week at a get-together I actually heard a conservative family member say how the drones in the news are to distract from the important issues like immigration.
This is a standard boomer that keeps news on the living room TV all the damn time. It’s not even the disconnect from both reality and compassion that gets to me any more. It’s how widespread it is, and how the propaganda works even better in the real world than in fiction.
But somehow people are mad at queer folks and foreigners instead of the C-suite and their boards.
Somehow? If it’s not obvious that there are several engineered distractions, then people aren’t paying attention.
Easy: people get their “news” from places controlled by those C-suites and their boards.
