Public Discourse

The Growing Threat Of Tech Billionaires On The American People!

Ronald 3 Comments

The reality that millions of Americans are “hooked” on Violent Video Games and Smart Phones, along with Social Media, which dominate their lives daily, and that Tech Billionaires are becoming more aggressive in acquisition of wealth as they manipulate the population, clearly a massive danger sign for American society.

This is particularly true among younger Americans, particularly, but not only, Generation Z, and males, more than females.

Aggressiveness and promotion of hate and conflict is inciting more political and other violence, as shown by the assassin of Charlie Kirk.

Algorithms are poisoning public discourse, private thoughts, and spurring violent actions of all sorts.

Some kind of government regulation seems essential, and young people in particular, need to be encouraged to get off their phones and video games, and partake in other activities that are more socially productive.

Republicans Plan “Scorched Earth” Midterm Election Campaign, As Nasty And Degrading As Donald Trump Pursued In 2016!

Hard to believe, but indications are clear that the Republicans are planning a “scorched earth” midterm election campaign, as nasty and degrading as Donald Trump pursued in 2016.

Insults, smearing, and the dirtiest tactics imaginable beyond comprehension are planned, with the argument that Trump understands the American people, and therefore, the campaigns for office will be as vile and mean spirited as his, to meet the new low level of public discourse brought about by Trump.

No apologies, no limits, no second thoughts, about saying and promoting further division and hatred of people who are not the opponents, but the “enemies”.

One can be sure there will be massive doses of misogyny, racism, nativism, Islamophobia, antisemitism, and foul language utilized, since it appeals to the lowest common denominator among Americans.

Instead of bringing the level of dialogue to a higher level, we will see yet more disgusting and reprehensible behavior by candidates.

Character assassination will be common, and likely, it will turn off many voters who might decide to avoid voting, out of fear, or disgust, or resignation that the era of Trump is here to stay.

That is why Democrats and liberals and progressives must fight hard to resist this, and to convince voters change IS possible!

While not easy for Democrats, liberals, and progressives, we must fight tooth and nail, and now allow ourselves to be intimidated, as the common decency and future of the American people is at stake!
