Your post ignores all of the flaws pointed out in the Princeton study that I mentioned. If you take more flaws into account I think the score will be far lower than 5/10.
But I am more curious about how your “path to fix the issues” will actually get implemented. I agree with your solutions, but they have no chance of being passed by Democrats or Republicans.
I think you are doing the meme of “How to draw an owl. Step 1: Draw the owl.”
So then, the obvious followup question:
Do we live in an actual democracy, or an oligarchy with the trappings of a democracy?
With the largest-ever electoral studies from Princeton and others concluding that “90% of the population has essentially no impact on government” and “Public opinion has near-zero impact on US law”, I believe it is the latter.
Tl;dr: do your civic duty and murder an oligarch
What moral highground are you trying to hold onto?
Here in America we have normalized supporting a genocide. We normalized slavery and torture in our prisons. We normalized extrajudicial killings of anyone we pin with the label “terrorist”.
Normalizing extrajudicial killings of our oligarchs is a step in the right direction and helps to fix all the other problems. We need more heroes.
The statistically low levels of crime we are currently experiencing do not support your hypothesis.
My friend, you are still confused.
I was giving the framing that comes from the billionaire owned western media oligopoly position.
that isnt my position
What gave you the idea that I’m dismissing them? I think you’re confused.
Good quote tho
I think the “temporarily embarrassed millionaire” idea is overstated, most people I interact with have a somewhat negative outlook on the economy and their future wealth.
I think the real issue is that no viable alternative is presented to most people.
The alternatives presented are Russian-style authoritarian oligarchy, Islamofascism, or a Venezuela-style “socialism” in which the narrative only focuses on poverty.
Charging your phone is murder because coal-fired power plants kill 43,000 people per year (in the US alone).
