    Right, I know it’s under attack, but why then hasn’t media just dispensed with the pretense? Life would be so much easier if people stopped lying to each other, putting on fronts and making pretentions at being something or someone they’re not. It’s like, we know they’re full of shit, they know they’re full of shit. They know that we know, and we know that they know. So, what’s the point of keeping up this bullshit game any longer?

      It’s not that it’s under attack it’s that it was never a thing to a portion of the populace. Namely black/brown/indigenous people.

      The media hasn’t dispensed with the pretense because they’re propagandists owned by billionaires who have no interest in educating or informing people of the actual issues and only exist to distract and redirect the populace attention to the bread and circuses.
