“Man is the only animal on earth that has to pay to be here. How did we manage that? Our basic need for shelter has been turned into a way to make the most money possible for the property market. How did we arrange that???

Mr Jackson's FKN News is a classic work of satire that's pointing right at the problem. I find myself laughing at his sketches skewing the PTB – the chuckles passing my lips are bittersweet however, as the humor is due mostly to how much of what he says is true.
Modern economy is nothing but a Ponzi Scheme. Modern American Politics is a "Good Cop/Bad Cop" dumbshow to keep we peasants docile, confused, and if we get angry, to make sure it isn't directed at our Lords and Masters.
The least 10 years (and really the last 30, though in the last decade it has become crushingly obvious) have demonstated that it really is probably as simple as that, though the smokescreens and propaganda and actual nuts and bolts of it is considerably more complex.
"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."

"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words."
