How Billionaires Manipulate the Public

Image
www.whatfinger.com  is one of the most successful site’s with the latest news! The general public feasts on a steady diet of billionaire-fueled propaganda. Whether they get their information from Fox, The Washington Post or The Economist, most sources of information are controlled by a relatively small group of people. While some news sources may be more objective than others, the lack of political endorsements during the recent election proves the power to dictate the agenda remains with the owners. This was an egregious example, but even in day-to-day reporting, journalists and talking heads know who signs their paychecks. Naturally, they self-regulate to appease their masters. Society unknowingly is steered to suit the needs of corporate overlords, whose agenda is to consolidate wealth and power. People can become heavily influenced or “brainwashed” by editorialized news media through a combination of psychological, social, and structural factors. Media influence relies heavily ...

Collapse-awareness: an incurable case of existential dread

www.whatfinger.com  is one of the most successful site’s with the latest news! I’m incurable. I’ve been to psychologists and while the venting seems to help, nothing really cures me from my constant dread. I’m not a mental health expert, but I believe psychologists are simply not equipped to deal with existential anxiety. Worried about nothing in general? Cognitive behavioural therapy can help.

Under normal circumstances, psychologists have methods for dealing with these issues. They are temporary or internal – caused by one’s own brain. I.e. a “me” problem. But what if the source of my dread is permanent and external. In other words, my brain is not the problem. My brain is simply observing facts. How do you cure reality?

Warning the Trump Forces: You May Be Committing a Crime

www.whatfinger.com  is one of the most successful site’s with the latest news! I know that we’re in a kind of End of History moment where there’s so much chaos and so much news that we sort of hear about everything all at once while also missing key developments that deserve our unified attention. That’s how I felt when I learned that the former president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, had been arrested, shackled, and forced onto a plane to the Netherlands, where he was turned over to the Hague Tribunal for prosecution of crimes against humanity. Duterte, it should be noted, was known as “Asia’s Trump.” The two were mutual admirers. In these times of reckless endangerment to all Americans by an American president and his cohorts, this was heartening news indeed. It reminds us that no one is immune from ultimate accountability if they do terrible things to others, no matter what their allies on the Supreme Court may say. Because this is not about “bad politics.” We’re talking ...
