I know that the utterly evil Murdoch media conglomerate has played a key role in people making stupid voting decisions, but the question also has to be asked: why did those people not see through those lies as others did? How can we make people more media literate - especially kids? It would help in being resistant to business propaganda (aka "advertising").
Also, those federal agents in the USA are personally responsible for their decision to be jackbooted (yes, a metaphorical allusion to nazism) thugs. Why have they been so flawed as human beings that they thought such actions were a reasonable way to defend a democracy?
This blog was for my study of political science and philosophy (not now), but is an outlet for me on human rights - a particular and continuing passion of mine, based on lived experience and problems [Content Warning!
