I've watched all of the media that I use to love turn to shit in the last decade. Myspace was great, for a time. Facebook was too. Digg. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Colbert. Chapelle. JRE. YouTube. Reddit. They all got mainstreamed (or ceased to exist altogether) and they all lost their edge.(self)
I appreciate the responses, Jason, though as you know, I am not assessing an alternate universe, and I also disagree with much of the corporate TV media. I obviously think that we have the ability to understand what's worthwhile in corporate TV media, and what's trash. It's not all trash. One could also argue that Saidit is a place where one can sort out the informative content and the trash content.
How much power does SaidIt have over you? Little to none.
How much power does the corporatocracy hole over you? Banks, media, government, justice, health, food, etc... Full spectrum dominance. They have think tanks, NGOs, TRILLION$ to spend maintaining their dominance by any and all means necessary - including their mafia monopoly on violence.
If it was simple the sheeple would wake up from their alternate universe too - yet some of my neighbours are simple and knew before I even started talking to them about it.
Sure there's crap on SaidIt, but you don't need to mine hard to find the gold here.
I think we're both angry with the 1%, but have different approaches to them.
You sure push "their" talking points a lot for being angry with them.
No, I don't.
