    Media cowards will be talking about “unprecedented potential for expansion of possible dangerous unaccountable powers” while they’re tied to posts in front of the firing squad.

      I am so fucking tired of people giving them cover by calling all the media corps ‘cowards’

      They aren’t cowards

      They are propaganda companies owned by old rich white men who are nearly 100% conservative

      They are doing exactly what they are paid for: to shift EVERY FUCKING NARRATIVE to either mitigate drumpf’s idiocy or tone down his fascist rhetoric

      And you are their fucking tool by claiming they do this out of cowardice

      It isn’t cowardice, it’s direct psyops and all of you are just sitting here ‘tut-tutting’ when IT IS ALREADY too late.

        Uh huh. And what exactly does calling me a “fucking tool” gain anybody?

        And for your information, YES, they are PROPAGANDA companies owned by rich old white men, but they are STAFFED by HUMAN BEINGS who CHOOSE to toe the line rather than risk their jobs or, God forbid, resign in protest. They are not ALL personally owned by and operated by the owners of the media companies.

        And what cover do you think I’m providing them by calling them cowards? If it doesn’t matter, who cares? This kind of divisive shit-flinging when we should coming together is petty and unproductive and I refuse to engage in it. Enjoy your angry screaming.

          You promote the agenda of corporate media, so yes you are a tool.

          A tool to be used to quell public outrage about our galloping into fascism

          And they aren’t human beings, they are fascists working to promote a fascist takeover of the United States

          And you want me to EMPATHIZE with them?

          You are a tool, an absolute tool.

          The only appropriate response for being told to do fascist things is to quit, if they don’t quit they are helping to promote fascism and now no longer deserve the label ‘human’

          I’m not arguing with you about the dangers of dehumanization, we are at fucking war and they are already killing us.
