Renewable Revolution

I'm beginning to think it's not the weird politicians that are the problem, they're just symptomatic of the larger issue ---IDIOCRACY.

My belief is that there is an idiocracy now. But the reason for it mainly has to do with two things. One is the public education system in this country, which deliberately dumbs people down and prepares them to be passive worker bees. The other is media, first TV and now social media, like FB, Twitter, and Instagram.

The school thing was on purpose, and the elites get full credit for building a system that works (for them).

TV takes innocent children and makes them into rabid consumers, while also indoctrinating them along the lines of whatever narrative is currently being pushed by Rupert Murdoch and a few other media billionaires.

The social media thing, the whole Web 2.0 phenomenon seems to be an accident, but it is an unfortunate force multiplier for ignorance and misinformation.
