We have got ourselves in to a situation where the political powers don't truly represent the people and it's propped up by mass media. Anything that chips away at the is a good thing, regardless of the fall out. I think it's actually too far gone in the US. I agree with the sentiment, but it can be taken too far. In the typical revolution shows things rarely end up better afterwards, a different shade of sh1t is the more usual outcome. Time will tell, and I can't argue that things don't need a kick and a shake-up, but there's no denying it's a risky strategy. I suppose the trick is to somehow stop the alternative from completely losing the plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This time Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 " There's been a number of errors. I think 2016 has been hacked. Anyone know how to reboot?

" " The fact that I have a bomb shelter in my building doesn't sound so crazy anymore ... " " I am beyond shocked that Trump will be the president of the US. If you helped to make that happen, then please remove yourself from my friends list. " "Not a good time to be anything but a straight, white man in America. All hail the Klu Klux Klan endorsed candidate... " " So, will it be climate change or nuclear war that brings about our extinction then? " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copydude Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Some funny stuff. BBC editorial policy is now to put, 'political outsider' before any reference to Trump. As in: Markets across the world tumbled as political outsider, Donald Trump, took the presidency. Meanwhile, the Guardian is still insisting that Trump is unpopular. Guardian front page analysis deals with the problem of: 'Why Hillary Clinton lost to a candidate as unpopular as Donald Trump'. (It then goes on to ask for donations to the newspaper because, 'our perspective matters') Doom and gloom stories. Journalists have been hurriedly re-assigned from predicting post Brexit acopalypse to post Trump catastrophe. The BBC describes the shock and horror with which Canada received the news. Ominously, it notes that the countries currently share 'the longest peaceful border on earth'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the trick is to somehow stop the alternative from completely losing the plot. Yes I'd agree with all that, although I'd say short of an actual proper revolution this is the only tool people have to express themselves, especially in the US where it really is a fixed two party system, it's either one or the other. I bet most people can't name the other 3 candidates standing (I suspect a massive majority wouldn't even know there were others). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
