    Truth be told, though, Trump is the symptom - not the cause - of what passes for “democracy” in the US!

    Indeed, in his excellent Substack article (4 Sept 2022) “Let’s Stop Pretending America Is A Functioning Democracy”, Chris Hedges argues that “decades in the making [..] only the fiction of democracy” remains now that the slow-motion corporate coup has succeeded!

    “The slow-motion coup is over. Corporations and the billionaire class have won. There are no institutions, including the press, an electoral system that is little more than legalized bribery, the imperial presidency, the courts or the penal system, that can be defined as democratic. Only the fiction of democracy remains”

  2. To folks aware of the #TPPA & its less-pronouceable alias #CPTPPA that I regularly cite as a real problem for the world & us here in Aotearoa NZ - the #InvestorStateDisputeServices (#ISDS) terms of the not-at-all #FreeTradeAgreement our gov't has signed us up to... this will help you understand how bad it is: invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v= or youtube.com/watch?v=xW5dEtjMb- #CorporateCoup @strypey @DrCuriosity This also explains our gov'ts *love* for #BigTech & snubbing domestic companies.

    While on the whole we agree that #rhetoric is important, and can be misleading. We a sorry to annouce that a great many Australians are #environmentalVandals and opportunitistic theives who greedily steal from past and future generations, simulateously.

    Having said that the majority are good, at least in 2007 when we voted for #KevinRudd. Alas he only lasted three years before the corporate #coup.

    They tell us via #legacyMedia and now #socialMedia, to blame the #BigBadGovt, but this narrative feeds into the above.

    Fascism is the melding of govt and #bigBusiness. Today's system is #fascism, not #capitalism.

    Some have called it #CorporateTotalitarianism, or #CorporateState.

    To fight it requires getting #NEOed. #Networking #Educating #Organising Engaging with Power, #Disobeying.

  5. We believe this is what they call a #corporateCoup.

    “With well over $9 TRILLION in #stimulusInjections, #TheFed's 2020 USD pump eclipsed more than two centuries of the country's dollar creation. Estimates say, in just a mere eight months in 2020, the U.S. has created 22% of all the #USD issued since the birth of the nation.”
