    A lot of people have chimed in and I’m surprised to not see the main culprit mentioned.

    We have a MASSIVE propaganda problem. We have a press/media system that has COMPLETELY failed in all ways possible, fallen to the typical greed that “ruins” most corporations (quality). We have a population driven to believe that the only people you can trust are people you already agree with so you get your news from Faux News or worse johnny jackass’s random podcast with a smattering of Facebook memes and uncle Jimmy’s racist rants about Obummer.

    Unfortunately I believe we’re absolutely fucked. We’re a zombie nation trudging along a path to violence that we will not steer away from. The propagandists are pushing us there and we won’t stop them as we have afforded them 1st amendment protections that they absofuckinglutley have taken advantage of and hide behind.
