By consistently ignoring the massive peasant protests, the mass media and mainstream media are revealing their commodity function: They serve exclusively to synchronize and stabilize social narratives and mass behaviors according to a ruling elite. This can only end badly!

Peak MSM-driven coordination was either in the 90s or the 60s but either way they've been losing effectiveness for decades going on generations. The more their incompetence grows, the more effort we have to expend on directing our attention. SN is part of that. Bitcoin is part of that as are so many other issues. As we figure it all out from first principles I have faith that through all the chaos we will emerge stronger.

I was talking to a government ag economist the other day and he had only just heard about these protests.
A lot of decision makers are kept usefully ignorant by these media blackouts, too.

People attracted to those positions have a bent against questioning authority. They look up to authority.

Exactly. That's really more the problem than the kind of conspiratorial scheming that people imagine is going on. Most of these people have no more authoritarian ambitions than you or I, but they unquestioningly buy into the regime's narratives and steadfastly stay within the bounds of allowable opinion.

Yeah, its more systematic. There are megalomaniacs but I think most of those types are the politicians and people at the top of these state agencies.

It has always been this way, they are funded by the state/top 1% therefore serves them exclusively.

Here in Canada, they didn't really focus on any of the foreign farmer's protests, the unrest in South America in countries like Colombia etc in the past few years. They do not want to encourage more of the same here again, especially after the truckers' protest and general anti-vaccine protests in Ottawa and near the border with Detroit, Michigan.

MSM failures to inform only create divisions in society, and alienates people from their peers, as many alternative sources of information emerge to fill the gaps and satisfy an existing demand.
We end up having people sharing the same space but not necessarily the same realities: the msm reality and the social/alt media reality.
This was evident during the covid times, and still is with bitcoin.
