    Yeah… now if only we could do something about that whole “government literally never doing things in the interests/wishes of the general population problem”

    It’s funny how the media has polls upon polls upon polls for shit like this or, say, abortion. That thing which about 60-70% of Americans said should be legal, at least in some form, nationwide… what happened with that… oh… oh no…

    There’s probably some word or phrase for when the media puts it right out in the open that you do not live in anything even slightly resembling a democracy, your opinion does not matter, and we will shove it in your face daily so you see it plainly laid before you.

      Probably, the “know your place, mongrel” effect.

    Old people get their news from MSM and young people get it from social media.

    Is it most though? At a quick google 18-49 is 42% and 50+ is 36%, in my head napkin math it would seem that the majority do not think it is justified so this seems like an actual MSM moment.

    At worst it is roughly equal.
