I don't know what you expect left leaning people to do with the rest of you working against us.
Capitalism enables the rich to implement policies to ensure they have all the power. Education won't fix regulatory capture.
Most people just do whatever everybody else does. How come the rich can manipulate the masses if most creative people are left leaning? Regulatory capture is one thing, but if some bureaucrats can organise a regime change then all the left leaning people should be able to improve the situation.
To be fair, they already do. But whatever is, seems to be far away from what the left wants.
Money, specifically propaganda. Humans will believe anything if it is repeated enough times. A collective of broke anarchist artists will never reach as many people as a billionaire funded think tank and advertising agencies.
This is an odd "if". If you're referencing something, I don't get it. Generally regime change is carried out by men with guns (far too often backed by the United States).
My question was "What do you expect left leaning people to do". If you don't have anything more specific than "improve the situation", neither does anyone else. That is not terribly actionable.
The internet makes that possible. It's not a resource problem.
Somebody motivated them.
People with education should come up with their own plans. That's the uncomfortable part.
