Yes, that's what I mean by well-meshed. It's hard to drown out a few hundred megaphones blaring out a propaganda message in unison, especially with the way the opposition is (being kept) divided.

@Eetschrijver@mastodon.social @GottaLaff@mstdn.social Well meshed because it’s very well funded! It’s not easy to overcome so many megaphones. Nobody has managed it so far.
@alex_p_roe@mastodon.world
That's the whole point, isn't it? The stakeholders in this obscene scheme are already so rich that they control all the megaphones. And whoever manages opposition strong enough to be noticed is immediately crushed. Litigation against moguls of this caliber is, to all intents and purposes, impossible.

Re. the media: complacent or complicit? More often than not the latter, I fear.

@Eetschrijver@mastodon.social @GottaLaff@mstdn.social I’ve been compiling a list - not in order, feel free to add to it - it has a UK bias. Cc @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us
Thanks to the political #right #neoliberalism and the #farright:
We can no longer afford kids
We no longer have stable employment
We have a polluted earth
University is too expensive for those who could benefit from it
Cars and motorbikes have become too expensive for most
Housing has become too expensive for most people
Healthcare services are failing… (1/3)
We have fewer doctors
We have very expensive dental care
We have to retire later
Hate is widespread
Immigrants and migrants are demonised
We’ll have no jobs and little income in the future
Food quality is falling
Energy costs are rising
Beaches and rivers are polluted
Investment in education and training has virtually dried up
The rich are getting richer
We now have “working poor”.
World war 3 is getting ever closer. (2/3)
List update: Public transport quality has been eroded. National companies have been offshored thus reducing their benefit to local economies.
Trans people are being persecuted for no reason, as are #LGBTQ and others, for colour or whatever.
The media has become little more than a propaganda arm for the right and the rich.
- This list is not applicable to all nations yet but, please, keep voting for the right 😉
