⚠️THIS IS MUST SEE⚠️
Edward Bernays is one of the most important people in history that too few people know about.
Once you begin to know him and learn about what he is credited for, you’ll make connections that chip away at our manufactured reality.

Defund this.
Police punch Hispanic man already pinned to ground—22 times.
Officer had already shot him with taser.
"He stiffly hit the ground after being tased, and his head banged on asphalt," said witness.
"Cop mounts him and starts beating—later 3 more piled on."
Just because man was standing in the road blocking some traffic.
Witnesses say he looked like he was having a mental episode—and was not trying to harm anyone.
Emergency crews were called and took the man to the hospital.
Local police confirmed the incident occurred at 3:15 pm—but released no other details except to say it was "under review."
Incident occurred on Auburn Way near 37th Street NE in Auburn, Washington.

Dr. Jill Stein is facing fascist retaliation by the Trump regime for protesting against Israeli genocide. She faces 18 months in prison after being violently arrested by the state for opposing Israel
Where are the “left” voices standing with her? Where is Bernie Sanders? Zohran Mamdani? AOC and the DSA? Are they truly going to stay quiet and refuse solidarity with victims of fascism simply because they are not a Democrat!? This is terrifying signs of things to come

Imagine worshipping an economic system where corporations and billionaires use, exploit, and then discard workers to rake in billions of dollars for themselves. This is capitalism and it is the biggest scam on planet earth bar none!

authoritarian this, authoritarian that. liberalism IS textbook authoritarianism. liberals built the carceral state, drone programs & imperialist wars. "stalinist" is just a lazy cold war era slur to shut down anyone critiquing neoliberal hegemony.

The libertarian solution to child labour is to explain that children wouldn't be working in factories unless the market had determined it was their most productive use.
We can't even come to a fundamental understanding of what basic terms mean in this society.
Part of the reason is the massive amount of propaganda to distort concepts.
Part of it is that regimes in history misrepresented concepts.
Part is high levels of functional illiteracy.

A voter was interviewed on Israeli news, along with two first-time voters, about what led them to choose who to vote for. One of them said that his main issue was that "I don't want there to be Arabs here in the country." The reporter nodded enthusiastically. Say hello to the next generation of Israeli voter.

Hayek was a midwit snake-oil salesman of the first order. Put simply, the legally established negative liberty he champions permits the unequal ability of uncoerced individuals to achieve a very narrow and often unethically gained type of success in his ridiculously idealised 'market'. Then they monopolise market sectors and buy their way into power to exploit and coerce others. Result - the constant renewal and reproduction of the 1% revolving-door oligarchy. Tent cities getting bigger but GDP looks good and we've got AI! Hordes of unthinking wannabe strivers have been persuaded that this is the timeless moral and natural order of things.

Whew! That line was killer!
While I haven't enjoyed much of Becky's "Big Time" heel runs at all, when she is The Man she is top tier - among the best of the best. #WWERAW
That was a lot that happened at the end of that match. Becky Lynch had it!
I would have liked to see something happen between Roxanne & Liv rather than Roxanne & Raquel, to begin a Judgement Day breakup story & have Raquel be Roxanne's Diesel.
Anyway, exciting finish! #WWERAW
