That is because, as crazy as it sounds, everything in our life is propaganda for the current sistem. What you buy, what you watch, how you talk, what you know, all of it is constructed in a way to subtily normalise this sistem to the point where it's all you can ever imagine. People will believe things like "the public sector is inefficent", "businesses need managers", "people are irrational beasts who need to be controled" without ever thinking about it. It's simply true, no interigation or reflection needed. The most important part of this is how we teach. We don't encurage exploration or thinking, we just say the right anwser and repeat it over and over till it's drilled into our minds.

We’re living in a real life version of the “all hail Plankton” Spongebob movie scene mixed with Idiocracy. 2000’s fiction is becoming 2020’s reality

[@nacicomi]

Those scenes and movies are so accurate today because they were also accurate back then. Things haven't changed, they are just becoming more and more obvious. Both because of the internet making us more informed then ever and also due to the ruling class becoming more and more desprete to hold onto power, as the constant state of crisis we live in makes more and more people question the sistem.

[@42ayla]

Saw a comic once that showed a King worrying that the peasants were going to attack him. His helper told him not to worry because they'd told the peasants with the pitchforks that the peasants with the torches were out to get them and visa versa. That meant they were too busy trying to kill each other to notice the King so he was good. Too true to be funny.

The point isn't to make you rich, it's to make you comfortable so you can focus on being happy instead of focusing on surviving. Take a look at the happiness index and see where the USA ranks vs other countries with Universal Healthcare, low citizen debt, ease of access to higher education and higher wages that keep up with living expenses. Every person who has pursued social reform in the US isn't trying to destroy anything, they are trying to build a better country to live in rather than invest in.

These two statements are not contradictory. Keeping poor people as stupid and misinformed as possible is one of the best ways to make them fight each other. It's why Fox exists. It's why InfoWars existed before it got terminated by the Onion. It's why the "liberal" (but actually still mostly corpo-friendly) news networks exist, too. Y'all are _all_ being made to fight each other, republicans and democrats alike. Just two groups of monkeys throwing turds over a fence without ever really seeing that the other side are just a bunch of people like you, who've been told you're as bad as you're told they are. One side keeps voting for do-nothing centrists who stagnate the country. The other side keeps voting for actively regressive charlatans who actively make it _WORSE._ Both options are unacceptable.
