Think this is a great time to lift up the legacy and work of W.E.B DuBois and Ida B. Wells in using journalism, ethnography, and data to highlight the propaganda of white supremacy. They were able to pierce through official lies with meticulous work and compelling methods of communication.
Perhaps the most insidious thing President Musk is doing is decimating the federal government's production of data. This will make it more difficult for his critics to show, objectively, how stupid his policies are. Stalin did the same thing and executed a great economist named Nikolai Kondratiev.

Speaking as a rural person, they killed our economy so that corporations could move in and take over family farms. Now it is nearly impossible to buy land and equipment to farm.They have produced monopolies in Ag and food.
I suspect they would like to do the same with the entire economy.

There are a lot of different theories on why the ruling class would want to intentionally crash the economy. I think it’s all about wages. Raising interest rates tamed inflation without dramatically raising unemployment and slowing wage growth. They need to finish the job on those last two points.

Fanta was created so coke could sell soda in nazi Germany around a trade embargo. IBM sold the machines that were used to track and tabulate holocaust victims. Henry Ford inspired Hitler. Big business has always collaborated with fascism. Today's businesses are bastards who are no different.

Am always amazed when a person who supports police, prisons and the army says "violence is never the answer". For some reason the violence of ruling institutions doesn't count.

Black journalists have been saying this for over 100 years. They just got shushed and pushed out of jobs
"If some of this looks to you like crossing the line from journalism into activism, you’re right. We cannot be neutral about this, by definition. A free press that doesn’t agitate for democracy is an oxymoron." - @glichfield.bsky.social
