Excellent post. The only thing I would add is that companies have bought up media outlets and control the content in order to profit from the propaganda.

Democracy Now! which positions itself as the flagship "independent" news outlet in the US, is actually heavily funded by the gender lobby, which reflects in its spewing gender propaganda to the US's Far Left.

Thank you! And yes, totally agree. I'd also add that the ever growing economical inequality on its own is a MASSIVE reason for a lot of things that we are witnessing now. People are becoming more and more desperate (especially now with Coronavirus wreaking havoc around the world) - and when you become desperate, you will also desperately look for someone to point your finger at.

Funnily enough it never seems to e.g. be the billionaires who are breezily swimming through this truly excellent year of 2020... And in the U.S., even the President who has failed in every way & form to keep the virus (and country!) in control faces surprisingly little opposition. One can hope some things will change in the near future, but I sure ain't holding my breath.

Anyway, I digress. I suppose this topic would deserve its very own thread, as it is something we can only overcome if we'd dissect every aspect of it and try to find solutions - instead of stubbornly pointing fingers. And we people are SO good at coming together and thinking constructively, eh, eh? Right? /s

Yes, vitunrotta, what you've said here does deserve its own thread. Hope you make one!
