OK. I think it speaks to the "realists". These are the "respectable" leaders of society. And they define the confines of "realism", this is the reality creating cabal that CJ mentions.

I find the corporate media fantasy reality to be related to this disconnect - These are the people that we should trust and follow because of their innate leadership, intelligence, and wisdom.

Should be no surprise to anyone that we're rolling down this slippery slope and picking up speed. How they believed that this was a good idea to do publicly is beyond me.

Your suggestion of violent revolution is silly. The disparity of intelligence and arms – ubiquitous, nearly omniscient surveillance and nearly omnipotent firepower makes a firefight, even given the mass of humanity we can throw at them, a poor strategy.

Reminds me of the current Democratic political ploy: "The only way to fight fascism is with fascism." And that leaves us with a new dystopic reality, as we're seeing in America and other 1st World countries.

Solidarity and community are the keys to removing these assholes from the top of the heap. That "Dream" is impossible given the current media's control of the narrative and your suggestion that we shoot people as a response.

Seems to me that acquiescence or warfare are the only options being pitched by the Establishment. Believing in something else, a reality where humanity comes together in solidarity and community, is considered a dream.

Seems that you buy into that binary choice. This binary choice is meant to manipulate us, and a "shoot them down" solution sits squarely within that binary. CJs solution rejects the binary and offers us some agency that allows us to maintain our humanity and create a world where "4 Legs Good, 2 Legs Better" doesn't happen again.

Peace~
