The Mainstream Worldview Is Self-Evidently Bullshit by Caitlin Johnstone published on 2022-06-17T02:13:16Z The mainstream worldview is self-evidently bullshit. If our media and education systems were telling us the truth about the world and our "democratic" systems actually worked, our society would be arranged to serve the interests of the many rather than an elite few. You can tell the mainstream worldview is bullshit just by looking at its fruits. We're killing our ecosystem to serve an economic system that's creating greater and greater inequality while wars rage and nuclear brinkmanship threatens to wipe us all out and corruption rules the earth. The world is as it is because the way the majority of people in the most influential nations think, act and vote is being continuously manipulated by the powerful, for the powerful. The mainstream worldview is just a giant bundle of power-serving lies and manipulations. Reading by Tim Foley. Genre News & Politics Comment by FrankTruth Madison's Federalist 10 opposed democracy. The founders of the American constitutional federal republic of 1787 shared the Judeo-Christain worldview that humanity is cursed with a fallen nature - individually and collectively inclined to evil. In their view the purpose of government is to restrain injury by man to man. 2022-06-17T17:35:13Z Comment by Landru Thank you as always Caitlin. Truth telling in the face of the monsters of media.
