This had previously been posted to !politics@lemmy.world (https://lemmy.world/post/23131889) but was removed as “not politics.” Personally, I think pointing out instances of manufactured consent very much is politics, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yeah I see a lot of “oh what a wonderfully dialetctically materialful moment of class consciousness this is” and, uh, great, but try doing anything with it. get those people to join your communist book club if it’s so easy. willfully ineffective leftist challenge: figure out that political illiteracy stops bourgeoisie electoralism but also stops every other political activity (impossible)
No
No.
Glad I got rid of The Washington Post subscription. We should have significantly less sympathy for either Bezos and Murdoch.
If it was Murdoch or Bezos instead of this guy the parties would still be ongoing

Normally when you ‘demand’ something, you would have some sort of necessity or something of value that you can withhold until the ‘demand’ is met…
