RUN: Rise Up Now – Fight the Fascists

Watched NBC News inadvertently on Sunday and discovered it is rife with right wing attitude and ‘lesson’ stories. Reminded me strongly of how brainwashed we were when I was growing up. Obviously the 1% is afraid of us now and is reverting to what worked before. Trouble is, there’s an internet and instant global communication.
 
We can check, now, their assertions, and all they have left is spin, which doesn’t work nearly as well as it did once. Oh, it works fine for the trumpers, sure, but they’re 19% and of no consequence, IF we rational human beings kick in with our majority view.
 
Big if.
 
We have the tools, but the fascists have desperation. They go beyond spin into gibberish, trying to fog everything. They vituperate anything they don’t like as ‘fake news’. They lie outright, even when the contradictory facts are right in front of everyone. They deny reality and turn away from it, and the trumpers follow.
 
What the 1% fear and desperately want to control is the 99%. They want us enslaved. They want us stupid and easily-led. Thus they destroy education and school meals and so on, to drag us back into third-world status, via their tool, the GOP.
 
Corporate media is but the surface. At the visible level, they normalize atrocity and call it business as usual. They corrupt, pollute, and degrade everything for the 1%’s benefit. Permeating society is a horrifying monster of greed, vaunted as Capitalism but really nothing but naked psychopathic greed, concentrated into the hands of fewer than 400 people.
 
It is a matter of RUN: Rise Up Now. If we do not, we will have run out of time, as climate change, directed by a self-appointed money elite that thinks it will easily survive the collapse of civilization, (of the Enlightenment, which is what they really loathe and target), destroys our habitat and makes it impossible for all but a few of us slaves, us Morlocks, to survive and serve our owners, the Eloi.
 
It’s the same fucking struggle as ever between aristocracy and the rest of us. The vampires are having a feast and slaughtering us to gain it. Yet if the herd turns, it can trample them almost overnight. Hunt them down; we know who they are. They exist at arm’s length. Will we reach out and stop them? Or will we passively allow our own slaughter, cattle and sheep led by the judas goat of media, the bread and circuses of consumerism?
 
Well?
