Authoritarianism in America wears many faces ... Reproductive choice? No! Diversity/Equity/Inclusion offices/programs in public institutions? No! Access to a range of literature? No! Gender-affirming care? No! WOKE? It’s a “lib” thing, and it’s a joke. Critical Race Theory? That’s a left-wing fabrication. American Exceptionalism? Yes! Ax “revisionist” portraits that speak against it. Democracy?...

    The US mediia is conrolled by six very large corporations. A large portion of their income comes from adverstising. The corporations that control the media are oligarchs themselves and are dependent on other oligarchs for their income. Remember the YT mashup: Brought to you by Pfizer"? The federal government also controls broadcast licenses for radio and TV and has other means to intimidate the media.

    Humans are a hominid with a language based brain. We aquire a shared narrative of belonging through social learning processes. Same way some orcas learn to chase sardines or salmon. The primary function of our cumulative and shared deep story is to make sense of information. If democracy does not feature a protagonist role in that social learning process....forget about it. That's where we are. We are just not that into democracy anymore. Not more complicated than that, the billionaires who control public education, or media, for example, are winning.

    There already was an organisation with unchecked power. A conglomeration of interests of Black Rock, the militairy industrial complex and the medical industry. Politicsalways serves their interests. Why do politivians not serve the public interests? If a public interest do not align with with the interests of the big powerfull stakeholderss it wont happen. Remeber Ocupy Wallstreet it was about the 1% of the 1%. They craftily pitted white against non White, men against women, straight against other orientated, religious against secular etc. Divide and conquer (in this case control. Everything to avert attention from the real issue. Distract from the huge income equality. Those who posses the means of productionand the worker. Just let the workers squable among themselves. Marixism was replaced by cultural marxism so the few on the top could preserve capitalism. The politicians are just their puppets.

      This is only true if you consider the whole of the American experience to be inseparable from the problems of white supremacy, Self-Destructive capitalism, and Christian nationalism. The moment you consider the potential of America beyond those two norms.. becomes harder to say that this is the collapse of an empire, more so than the transition...

      What mechanisms of democracy that are supposed to help the people that is not undermined by the failure to finish reconstruction and a continued discrimination of minorities? The fact that so many Americans thought that another outcome was possible is profoundly disturbing... White America cannot produce the competencies necessary to keep their toxic norms from sinking the ship of democracy. And the rest of America doesn't have the power or influence to make up the difference... Not to mention dealing with their own traumas indicated by support Trump got from non-white Americans.

    America failed because it's all based on lies. This is ALL stolen land, all of it. A genocide was committed against indigenous peoples. The country was built with slaved labor. The so-called Founding "Fathers" were slave owners and slave traders who benefitted from evil. Slavery lasted for more than two centuries followed by one century of segregation. It was core to America, this great evil, not a footnote. Then, the white supremacists tried to indoctrinate everyone into admiring and revering the founding slave owners and slave traders with their public miseducation system. But that's been exposed as propaganda bullshxt. Racist America took its mask off, that's all that's happened (again). They showed us who they were in 2016, and again now. That's the truth, warts and all.

      Great question. You'll notice that he keeps saying "attacking our institutions." This means that we need to do a better job upholding them. Whether that's through defense, like providing good services, or through offense, by disrupting enemy forces. For example, Fox News has been allowed to become an anti-American tool with a lot of power in America's culture, in part because the government has been hands off. But on a more individualist level, focus on what the guy said. Teach democratic values. Improve the people around you and in your life. At the end of the day, we can talk this and that until the cows come home-- until we have a quality electorate, we can't have quality leadership. And I think to get there, we need to improve the quality of everyday people by influencing them positively.
