I am shadow-banned and was previously banned-banned for quoting Johnny Cash lyrics. Now I've quoted a dark TS Eliot poem and fear my Bluesky account may implode. If you like this article, please share it! Thank you sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/bell-fount...

There’s this huge media industry employing lotsa Very Smart People™ whose elaborate hot takes purport to explain the allegedly complex reasons for society’s crises, when in fact those crises are all the result of something very simple: a bunch of oligarchs got together & bought literally everything.

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

They are trying to cram it down our throats so deep it can't get dislodged. And short sighted, greedy, uncritical people are just lapping it up. One of the reasons I'm so loud and aggro about this is I hope people not paying attention get wind that not everybody is just okay with this happening.

NEW: Americans want AI regulation & yet the opposite may happen.

Same thing happened on Wall Street regs, crypto & health care.

It's an axiom: legalized bribery enshittifies politics so organized money defeats disorganized people, even when people want something better.
Why Organized Money Beats Disorganized People
How the master plan created the central axiom that has enshittified American politics.

NEW: There’s this annoying assumption that while oligarchy may explain many bad trends in our society, it somehow has nothing to do with the housing crisis.

This argument is amplified by movements bankrolled by oligarchs - even as reams of data prove it is a flagrant lie.
Pay No Attention To Oligarchs Raising Your Rent
A brief look at the absurd idea that billionaires and corporations have nothing to do with America's housing crisis.
