King once warned in a sermon (as early as 1954), also recorded in his book, "Strength to Love," that, "If Americans permit thought-control, business-control and freedom-control to continue, we shall surely move within the shadows of fascism."
You know,it won't be long before people will be crowding the streets wanting MLK statues and such removed because he spoke more truth then they can handle.
That's right-wing propaganda, to make you a willing serf for the wealthy.
If the people don't control business, than business will control the people.
Than you don't have any freedom.
"The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism."
MLK, March 30, 1967
NewsMax is just an outrage machine, telling you lies, to stir up your anger and hate against 'other' people, shifting away the responsibility for the US turning into a kleptocracy, from their wealthy owners, so suckers like you keep voting for the party that is mostly responsible for providing that kleptocracy for the wealthy.
The days of a election with candidates like Eisenhower that had credibility are gone
Newsmax completely makes up 'facts' and puts a complete spin on everything else. They lie about 80% of the time. The 'liberal' media is at least presenting real facts, 80% of the time. They put some spin on it, to appease their owners and advertisers, but it's not as dishonest as the right-wing media. You just think right-wing media is more honest, because they tell you the same propaganda, you have been indoctrinated with your whole life. Familiar lies sound more honest.
It's you, who thinks commercial media is preferable over publicly owned media.
They are ALL lying to you or not telling the truth. You acknowledge that yourself.
Are you ready to change your opinion on commercial media already?
A shock, I understand, what would that look like?
Maybe it would give you politicians who actually represent the people?
But, I've seen politicians up close, that came very close.
They don't answer a question, with something the asker wants to hear,
they answer clearly and directly, according to their principles.
And when they ever make a mistake, they admit that fully and openly,
telling you where they made the mistake, why they made that mistake
and how they are going to fix it.
That's when you know they are working for you and not for themselves.
In The Netherlands, I only see that in the Socialist Party. Every other party,
to the right of them, is obfuscating, twisting, embellishing and concealing.
Meanwhile our right-wing prime minister is a very smooth liar.
He has even introduced new terminology with his lying. He often says:
"I have no active memory of that.", so you can't get him, if it turns out he knew.
Other politicians started to use that too. And people like managers of companies in trouble, getting caught for sketchy shit and getting interrogated by journalists.
And he has an old Nokia phone, with a tiny memory, so he can delete every message that he doesn't want the public to know about, while he has the obligation to share or record everything. 'Plausible deniability', 100%.
I even enjoy seeing him use it so brilliantly. He's really a master at it.
It's just horrible that it's acceptable for a representative of the people.
"Lying is for the weak-minded. If you can't think of a truthful way to solve your problems, you're not thinking hard enough.” — Robin Brande
BTW, please tell your party to keep it up. 2024 is looking really good.
Unfortunately you have a poor judge of character, if you think that's Trump.
He has been a lying, stealing, cheating, conning, scumbag, all his life.
How could you believe he would have been different as president?
Trump is just so experienced in lying, that it sounds like the truth,
especially if you like those lies and you have no skeptical reasoning skills.
Your economy flourished during the plandemic, while most floundered.
"He has no leadership ability. We are lucky due to the greatness of the state dispite having an asshole governor and biden, wanna be. All he does is gets us involved in lawsuits . You want him? What a laugh."
You can have our governor, has stood in the way of voter id TWICE after it was on 2 Ballets and the voters of the state approved it.
On December 16, 2022, the North Carolina Supreme Court ruled in the Holmes v. Moore case that Senate Bill 824, the 2018 legislation implementing voter ID, violates the state constitution’s equal protection clause. This means that voters are not required to show photo ID in elections in North Carolina. Please check back for any updates.

And folks of all colors think they have it rough today.
This fellow WAS a slave,not a descendant of 1.
So he had alot more hurdles to over come than blacks of today.
Well,Um, guess who the lady actually was that invented it?

"Gladys Mae Brown was born in rural Virginia, where her parents owned a small farm in an area populated mostly by sharecroppers. "
Imagine the hurdles a sharecroppers daughter had to overcome to get where she went? Again, a much tougher path to success than blacks have today.

Trivia
With Apologies to Jesse Jackson attracted little media attention, with the NAACP praising it and calling it a "good example of educating the public on the power of hate words (including the n-word) and their impact on individuals".
I saw nothing that educated me,except more evidence that no one is satisfied with anything done.
I am glad most are NOT US citizens.
WANTED to be dragged for petes sake,
So her life must not mean much to her
Even animals' lives.

I will admit the fetterbum libturds won. Now what does that say about PA?
but when a normal guy is running for office to help poor people,
he is a 'thug', because he doesn't wear a suit, like all those
corrupt, fakes politicians, you pretend to hate, but actually really like.
His 'goofy left wing agenda' is helping the working class.
Anything that Republicans do is only helping the rich get richer.
You voted for Trump, the biggest selfish useless loser in the world,
who just took a business from his daddy and than let crooked lawyers run it.
Trump never worked a day in his life, not even as the president.
The only talent he has is scamming dumb-asses like you
and acting like a businessman on a stupid TV program.
Trump just wanted to be president, to be worshiped by suckers like you,
to get credits from wealthy people for cutting their taxes and to take money
from the Saudis. Calling him 'bum' is too kind. He's an imposter and a traitor.
Uh fill me in here, who does the working class work for?
Don't they usually work for a company, that has wealthy investors?
And if it is no longer profitable the jobs go away?
A mechanic, a postman and a factory worker used to be able to provide for his family. Why can't they do that anymore or much less?
If your brain says 'socialism', then what socialism has that mechanic, postman or factory worker gained, since 1950? Did they gain more time off, more sick days, more affordable healthcare, a shorter workweek, a safer working environment, better dismissal protection, worker participation, more affordable housing, cheaper education for their kids, better pensions or something else that I have forgotten? Or have they been screwed on all or most of those things?
How has it benefited the working class, that multi-billionaires, increasingly own more wealth, businesses, homes and land and gained more power every decade?
No matter how wealthy those investors get, they will not raise wages for their employees or give them more time off or paid sick leave or improve worker safety. That's what is important to the working class.
It is already more profitable to outsource jobs. Do you think Americans can compete with Chinese workers or Bangladeshi workers? The way you prevent those jobs going away is regulate the corporations, not pay American workers Bangladeshi wages.
John Fetterman improved the lives of the poor in Braddock massively.
Not by sucking up to corporations, but by bottom-up economic advancements.
He didn't just talk about grassroots movements, he did it and it worked.
There is more to a job that doing it and getting a check. There is retirement insurance ,and etc. Some just look at the paycheck and don't look any further.
That has not resulted in any improvement of worker benefits, only more profits for the executives and share holders. Employers are not making enough money to get stock options themselves and if they have retirement plans with stock options, the companies are also allowed to take all the profits of that system and fuck over the employees too. In other words; trickle down economy is a lie.
Insurance benefits organized by employers are just another control mechanism to suppress the power of employees. It allows the employers leverage over any negotiation and makes it harder for employees to find other jobs.
As for wanting to earn a higher wage?
You want the employer to pay you more? Make yourself invaluable to the company,invest in your education and use your talents to increase the companys profits.It brings about promotions and pay increases and company perks like company cars and such.
People need to quit expecting their warm body in the work place is enough alone for them to make a living wage,they need to provide something WORTH MORE than a living wage that the employer will be willing to pay for. I can see why alot of companys have gone overseas .Lack of work ethic.
" fuck the boss, lets' just make 8".
is the attitude of the average worker now.Sad. Hunger and getting wet in the rain would be deserved of those types.
Than everyone 'buys' healthcare together.
Becoming invaluable to your employer is an individual effort, for competing with other employees. It doesn't guarantee against exploitation, at worst it makes the best employee the most favored slave.
People should expect fair treatment. And since most people are employees, they would have the worker power and political power to prevent companies from going overseas, if they are smart enough to prevent a minority of wealthy employers from buying politics, to allow them to exploit even poorer people. The combined power of 330 million consumers is enough to force companies to produce in their country. The problem is that those 330 million consumers are shortsighted and selfish. They prefer to buy their products a big cheaper, over thinking about keeping their own economy alive, which provides them all income, to buy anything at all. They became that shortsighted by consuming propaganda from right-wing media, payed for by those companies, that can make more profits, by encouraging people's selfishness.
Republicans only exist to serve themselves by serving the wealthy.
Democrats sometimes do little things for normal people, just because their voters are less convinced that people only deserve what billionaires allow them to have.
Every socialist wants more equality of wealth and income
and force the wealthy to pay higher taxes and higher wages.
And you think socialists are serving the wealthy?
You have no idea what socialism really is.
The wealthy are the winners in capitalism.
Socialists wants an alternative for capitalism.
The winners in capitalism don't want that.
I am more and more active in the socialist party.
I meet lots of people who are doing well for themselves,
because they are smart people. But none of them are wealthy,
because wealth requires exploitation and socialists are against exploitation.
Trump is the son of a billionaire, who never had to do a day of real work,
scammed his family out of their inheritance and only managed to retain some of the wealth of his father by scammed his customers, everyone who ever worked for him and everyone who ever trusted him.
You only think he's normal, because he's almost just as dumb as you.
That's his only talent; scamming people who are even dumber than him.
Trump is a 'thug', no matter if he wears a suit or not, because other people are worthless to him, unless they praise him or fill his pockets. He demands absolute loyalty and offers nothing in return.
If you think Democratic politicians hate him, you are wrong. Their live is easy now.
Their voters believe they have no other choice than politicians who are a little bit
less selfish and abusive than Trump. They know the other pimp hits harder.
I think you hate Fetterman this much, because you know he's different.
He provides an alternative to all the people with Stockholm syndrome.
because Americans know they are fucked by both parties.
The reason why socialist values always lose is because the people
keep giving power to the wealthy, who have the only goal of
becoming even more wealthy, by exploiting and extorting the people.
If people like you keep helping them, normal people will keep losing.
"look at your Country" is not an argument.
First of all, my country is the 5th happiest country in the world and the US is only 16th, with horrible poverty, lots of homeless, 2 mass shootings per day, the highest incarceration rate in the world and a failed, highly corrupt, democracy.
Second; even though we have more 'socialism', The Netherlands is a very capitalist country and not socialist by a long shot.
Third; the number one happiest country in the world is Finland, which is also a capitalist country, but with the most social services of all countries in the world.
That's socialism winning.
without enriching themselves, by doing the bidding of the rich and fuck over people.
Those are worth their salary and I would recommend supporting them.
It's a short list though. However, often voting for 'new' is not voting for 'better'.
And their are lots of one term politicians, who fill their pockets as fast as they can, because they understand that the voters should kick them out. Kick them hard.
with the best intentions on the best available information.
Everyone thinks their intentions and actions are at least justifiable.
Politicians often justify their corruption by thinking 'I'm just playing the game!' or 'Am I not allowed to better myself?'. It's up to the voters to show them that their job is being public servants and representatives. If they are not representing our interests, we should vote for politicians who represent our interests better.
Democrats are crap, that's true. Republicans are evil.
I would choose crap over evil. Only stupid people don't.
Talk with some Russians and Germans about that idea.
You vote to let your country be controlled by selfish wealthy white guys,
who became wealthy by exploiting people or by sucking up to wealthy people who exploit people. What you then get is you being exploited.
I vote for socialists, who take the fight to the horrible neoliberal capitalists, who become wealthy over the backs of working people.
I vote for a party that stands for human dignity, equality and solidarity.
If the socialists party benefits me (an upper-middle-class working guy) most, then why wouldn't it benefit you as well? Are you wealthy?
Maybe you understand that your vote for republicans only hurt you
and you do understand that only the wealthy benefit from your vote.
In my country, most people are tired of the neoliberal policies that brought only problems. Our right-wing prime minister is being forced to do many 'socialist' things, like paying up to 30 billion to maximize the energy costs of families. Most people blame the privatization of the energy companies on the high energy prices. The socialist party is not winning yet, but their ideas are rapidly gaining ground.
And what do you get when you vote for Republicans?

Be specific or you just sound like you don't know what you are talking about.
And then explain how Democrats caused the specific damage or why you disagree.
Because this post is about friendly ARGUMENTS. Baseless claims are not arguments.
