Fifteen questions Americans can ask themselves that are more useful than "What presidential candidate should we vote for?":
1. Why does nothing change no matter who we vote for?
2. Why does US foreign policy always continue along the same trajectory regardless of the president's party or platform?
3. What keeps our voting population split right down the middle into two political factions of equal size, with neither side ever gaining enough of a majority to democratically change society in any meaningful way?
4. Why does the stalemate described in #3 always seem to benefit the rich, the powerful, and the war-horny?
5. Why is it that the most consequential US government policies like plutocratic influence, privatization, globalization, ecocidal capitalism and nuclear brinkmanship are never on the ballot? Why do these things keep happening, against our interests, without our ever voting for them or electing anyone who campaigned on the pledge to enact them?
6. If our federal government's behavior never changes no matter who we elect, could it be that there are other bodies involved in government policy-setting whom we did not elect, and who remain in positions of influence regardless of the comings and goings of our official elected government?
7. If the above is the case, then who is it? Who's really calling the shots in this country?
8. Could it be that everything we've been told about our country, our government, our political processes and our world is untrue?
9. If so, what are the implications of the fact that our schools and our media have been feeding us lies since we were small?
10. What forces would be responsible for keeping all these lies flowing throughout our society? What might keep an ostensibly free press spinning more or less the same lies throughout the western world day after day, year after year, generation after generation?
11. Is it possible that our entire electoral system is a sham designed to give the public the illusion of control so that they'll let oligarchs and empire managers run the country undisturbed?
12. If the electoral system is a sham, then how do we enact the changes we so desperately need?
13. Is it possible that there are other ways to effect change in the United States which don't involve casting a pretend vote in a fake election?
14. Could it be that those other means of forcing change are precisely what the charade of casting pretend votes in fake elections is meant to divert us from?
15. Should we perhaps spend less energy bickering about who should get sworn into the White House a year and a half from now, and more energy examining other possible avenues toward advancing meaningful change?
Western propaganda workers are very excited. With China easing its dynamic zero-COVID policy, they will finally get to witness what they've been wanting for two years: Chinese deaths.
For them it brings back memories of the initial Wuhan wave, which they also thoroughly enjoyed.
Propagandists have created an image of China as a nation where people have no voice at all. So when protests occur (which are not as uncommon as they would have us believe), they have no choice but to blow it out of proportion - to justify their initial lie that protests are rare
🔴Today saw the opening of China's 20th National Congress of the CPC, a hugely significant event, but not for the reasons you've seen parroted around Western mainstream media for the past few years.
WATCH my No Bullsh*t Guide to the 20th Congress, and please help me RETWEET. 🇨🇳
@ajphelo@danharris Why Can't China just divide its entire population into equal portion of Australia and claim none of its portioned areas don't make any dent in the problem
I personally think China got the worst libs, but I might be biased cuz I can read Chinese, but will the libs/ self loathing racists of your people openly calling for genocide of their own kind?
Since the photo of Queen Elizabeth visiting her crown colony of Hong Kong in 1975 is making the round, it’s perfect time to remind people Britain forcibly made Hong Kong its colony as result of waging a war to sell Opium to China. A 🧵
@Mannyz6767@frankoP15 @adamcrow64 @ScottyFromMktg Tf do you want to say here? There is almost no humans in Australia compare to south asia regions, of course the air quality in Australia would be much better, you don't really think you make a positive contribute to the air quality in this continent do you?
