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”

You wouldn't burn a 1TB #compactDisk with great memories for your family and friends to enjoy for years to come.

Ummm…

A decade ago a 1TB CD was invented and they act like it never happened. Stop them.

Also, we agree with @cy, is not foolish or stupid these ppl want to be seen as corpo-friendly for work when they leave office.

"Don't prescribe to #stupidity what can better be explained by corporate-state shiteater."

@NerdRat
Do remember the "#privatisation of govt functions is enormous." (#Obey, 2014, #FilmsForAction)

…and that was then, ie. 2014.

@imattau
Everyone needs to watch the film #Obey (2013).

We originally saw it at #FilmsForActionDotOrg. It highlights people's desire to #beConsulted in #corporateState #totalitarianism.

Or what the author calls #InvertedTotalitarianism.

Prepare to be shocked by the authors ability to predict the #societalDecay we are seeing around us. Some call it a #FourthTurning.

However we deconstruct this #corporateDeathMachine let's do it with kindness and love.
