Voting Merely Presents the Illusion of Choice

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork, being shared by an acquaintance from here, and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Illusion: your vote is meaningless when the system is corrupt."

Circular Reasoning: College Edition

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork, being shared by an acquaintance from here, and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Why should I go to college?" "So you can get a degree?" "Why?" "So you can get a job." "Why?" "So you can make more money." "Why?" "So you can pay back your college loans."

“Why should I go to college?” “So you can get a degree?” “Why?” “So you can get a job.” “Why?” “So you can make more money.” “Why?” “So you can pay back your college loans.”

My Commentary: Circular reasoning…

In America, the Job of the Mainstream Media Monopoly is to Manufacture Public Consent

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, Charles C., after he posted artwork being shared by the page, “Telling the Mainstream Media it’s Full of Crap“…

Charles C.:

"Media Consolidation: the Illusion of Choice Media has never been more consolidated. 6 media giants now control a staggering 90% of what we read, watch, or listen to. In 1983, 905 of American media was owned by 50 companies. In 2011, the same 90% is controlled by six companies. These six companies are: GE, News-Corp, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, CBS"
