Let me explain the question:

If fox news and religious propaganda are exactly that, propaganda, then they are victims.

If, however, every person is free to listen to what they want and then rant against liberals, migrants, Muslims, Arabs, trans, gays, atheists, you name it, then they are just gullible.

I’d have more patience for a victim than a gullible person.

Everybody is free to believe what they want to believe. What I don’t get is why they have to stir things up and why they believe they are the only ones getting it and everyone else is dumb, woke, a communist or is going to hell. Why can’t they keep their opinions to themselves?

    discussions like this always bring me back to the Dead Kennedy’s song Stars and Stripes of Corruption

    Not only is the music one of their greatest, but the lyrics are Jello Biafra’s best. If you have never heard it, imagine surf guitar, fast pace and a poet that can unleash lyrics at bullet speeds while staying in tone and driving the beat. The end of their career finale and IMO their magnum opus. The lyrics are just so good. Here is one part that I really think about alot…

    But what can just one of us do

    Against all that money and power trying to crush us into roaches?

    We won’t destroy society in a day

    Until we change ourselves first from the inside out

    We can start by not lying so much and treating other people like dirt

    It’s so easy not to base our lives on how much we can scam

    And you know it feels good to lift that monkey off our back
