if the same admen used by apple, microsoft, google, mcdonalds, coca-cola etc were hired to market our own democracy (which is a useful product) to other nations then they would consider it an act of war, and rightfully so

what about the societal problems that pre-date marketing?Quote:

we'll always have a one- or two-party system because of the chilling effect the government has on media, and media losing sight of what's important. they didn't even let any third-party candidates debate this past cycle, not that it mattered since the majority of the audience was watching american fucking idol anyway
the republicans care more about sustaining the GOP than they do the country
the democrats care more about sustaining the DNC than they do the country
that's just the way it is, some things will never change
i dont want to believe that, there used to be several political parties in america and if more people wake up it could happen again, unlikely but im not a pessimist.Quote:

and union dies are going to continue to be steered from healthcare & benefits to democratic candidacies
the internet is now the media tooQuote:

It's always been a form of media, but it's not monolithic like the network news. any fucking idiot can start a blog or a youtube page and convince thousands of people to follow his every word, just look at alex jones before the internet he would have been handing out xeroxed newsletters in front of the supermarketQuote:

pretty much, people let the world become the way it is.Quote:
