Au contraire - #brexit for some was ALWAY about populism - you don't think the #vacuumOfIntegrity is a #protofascist do you?

He is an amoral opportunist and seized on brexit as a route to power rather than an article of faith. It is the toxic mix of #populism and #farRight tummy-tickling that made it so potent and damaging - it engaged dark money and prejudice simultaneously

Poor #ProtoFascist #PayPalMafioso #PeterThiel... He spent millions propping up deplorable GOP candidates with pissy culture war Trumpist platforms, many leaning to the right of most historical dickhead dictators. Yet majority of voters that still care to participate in American democracy , were like either "meh" or a far more energized " hell naw" to Thiel's midterm mayhem picks.

Me complaining to Newsweak in their forum:

Newsweak takes both sides of all issues because it has no moral center. #Bothsidesism comes only from corporations who see the US working-class merely as sources of profit.

If you wonder why the US is in such a mess, look at the #hyperreality created by fraudulent #journalism over at least 70 years. If both sides are always true, it means nothing is true. #Newsweek is #posttruth journalism.

Another point of #hyperreality that Glenn Kirschner is not #leftwing, he's #centrist. These bogus #corporations tell us that centrists are 'left-wing' as a way to marginalize ideas that are genuinely left-wing.

Give us a break, Newsweak. The republican party is now #protofascist. #Conservatism has always been a ruling-class scam. Of course greedy corporations serve conservatism over having a rational and peaceful nation.

Our crisis of #democracy is rooted in ruling-class power struggles, in which corporate #journalism is complicit.

In the first week of #media studies you'll learn the concept of agenda-setting, characterized by media not telling us what to think, but controlling the bounds of what we are allowed to think about.

You can't use corporate media to help preserve your democracy. Both-sides-ism serves the powerlessness of the working-class.
