      I am intimately aware of the sheer apathy of the American electorate. That being said, it always holds true that any government is just a few empty meals away from violence. Starvation had already captured people Americans are taught deserve it; we’ll see when msm can’t cover up in encroaching on more, though.

        Most mainstream journalists are already posting their real thoughts on YouTube. I’m just trying to use YouTube less.

          I respect that. Closest I get is FreeTube. But, as dying as msm is, it isn’t dead yet. Nobody trusts it, but everybody watches it. It’s state-media at this point, and its talking points disseminate all the same. It will get to a point where it can’t contain the stories anymore, though, of that I have no doubt.

            I mean I mainly use it on my phone through ad free apps as well so and I watch long form content. I just like going outside which I’m trying to do more I’m really love knowledge and learning though I’m just kinda chaotic (I think I have ADHD or something) so I have a hard time sitting down and learning traditionally. I find it really interesting that journalists are speaking their minds on private channels, so obviously they don’t control the narrative. I would love to start a media company, but I would want to have final editorial say on the type of content put out (not so much what people do maybe just the ability to veto something’s by internal vote or something) I would love a new media co op something like Novara but good. There are lots of talented well read and clever people in the msm. Their editors are just nuts.

      There is no doubt that people will fight. The major problem is everyone is just watching the enemy dig in, organize, arm themselves, and sabotage us before acting.

      For the US anyway, we are broken in to almost thirds. 1/3 hate it, 1/3 love it, and 1/3 literally don’t know anything is happening right now. The ultra rich fractured us really well. Other countries will be better off because you guys still have free healthcare and education which makes your populations INCREDIBLY smarter than a normal american. Don’t ever give those up
