All at the same time. Folks, I tell you, the Republicans and this administration are the biggest threat to democracy and freedom in the world. The power of their money and their control of the military and intelligence services makes them more dangerous and deadly than anything the former KGB of the former USSR ever presented. If we don't rise up and throw the bums out of office, including the DINOs who support them we have lost our coutnry forever. They control the media, the banks, the military, and all the corporations, and the government. Is there any hope for us?

2. And do you think that if we had a Democratic administration that the

media wouldn't be covering a violent prison break? Dream on.

Edited to add: That's who you're referring to, isn't it?

3. Is there any hope for us? Short answer -- no.

The systems we live under are self-feeding mechanisms, meant to do nothing besides bolster the status quo.

The only way that they will be truly altered is when they collapse, allowing something else to fill the void left in their wake. Any other kind of rebellion against the culture industry is simply assimilated and commoditized as the new definition of "cool" -- like the vision of hippies from the 1960's promoted by popular culture, and how it was even used to sell things.
