(4,835 posts)I didn't make a defense of the bank thieves in the thread you referenced. I argued that wealth sometimes just disappears; it doesn't necessarily always go into someone's pocket. If the bankers were sitting there with all of the money that homeowners lost; why did they need bailed out?
I didn't claim that if we just elect the democrats everything will be ok. I pointed out that if we want to start taking the money out of politics; we need to start by showing that the ideas are more important than the money. As long as the candidate with more money always wins; money will always control politics.
As far as calling out the propagands: I think if you really want to do that; I suggest you respond to what I write, rather than what you would have liked for me to have written. When you twist what others write to make your point (and accuse them of positions based on the twisting) you are the one guilty of propaganda.
As far as the government listening to our conversations; if they're doing it right, we'll never know. If the government has decided they're going to do it; there ain't shit that we can do about it anyway.
I just don't worry about it. I'll admit that could be interpreted as a flaw in your way of thinking. I think we have much bigger problems than that.
Food security is what I consider the most important issue. Do you have a problem with that?
