Engaging with the theater benefits media companies (a.k.a. those in power). They make fat cash from the spectacle.
watch less tv, support local news networks. you know, part of the "communal help" you propose as an alternative
reminder this is a false dichotomy
You want me to support the local bourgeoise who feed people regurgigated cia material? How about no, class traitor.
what? who said bourgeoisie? do you not have community run outlets? it seems to me you need to go outside and see what other comrades are up to
That's what you're trying to distract from.
this is bait, i swear you can turn off the tv and log off. as far as i know voting in the US does not include mandatory watching of state propaganda and cheering for the leader.
i fully endorse disengaging from propaganda machines, turns out telling folks that nothing makes a difference anyway is propaganda ("climate doomerism" may be an interesting and related read)
