Heat madness and climate change.

And COVID, possibly long COVID brain damage, media radicalization, record socioeconomic inequality, and more.

Nah, I think the Heritage Foundation sees an opening to push the world into Christofascist hegemony with Trump being in power, but democracy is getting in the way. So far they’re having mixed results but in general it’s fucking working so why slow down now?

I counted that under media radicalization and socioeconomic inequality. The haves lie to the have-nots through the media to exploit them, which is how you get Jan 6th.

I just wish people weren’t so easily fooled by corporate media. When you see something is owned by Rupert Murdoch how can you think it’s pushing a narrative that is good for the working class? It’s so stupid.
