Are we really going to talk about the internet as though it made all the difference? We're going to forget about:
- The military industrial complex, the backlash against their never-ending wargames and the complete betrayal of American values through the PATRIOT Act
- Legalized bribery via lobbying and Citizens United
- 5 conglomerates controlling all old (but still very relevant) media
- The many great heists of the people's wealth in the form of:
1. Offshoring jobs while diluting public education
2. Tearing up public transport and forcing dependency on a substance that compromises us morally
3. The 2008 bailouts that left the little man to die in a gutter
The old guard entrenched themselves more and more, robbed the people of hope, and gutted the nation's dignity. Now they are co-opting the bloodlust of a humiliated people towards their own advantage.
