The Politics of Misperception and Wealth Inequality in America
From The Politics of Misperception (which is worth a read in and of itself, and not just because it's short and succinct):
Click to viewI have a beef with "The 'Dreaded' Socialism" segment - "The Dreaded 'Socialism'" would be more accurate, as what he's talking about is a caricature of socialism - but love the video nonetheless. It's shocking what a gaping chasm there is between reality and what the american public believes the reality to be, let alone how they almost unanimously think things should be.
Which drives another nail in the coffin of the Big Lie of "the media's leftwing bias" as these simple facts are not being reported. If the mainstream media really did have a left lean then facts like this would be getting trumpeted 24/7 as letting the public continue to believe that things are so much better than they really are keeps them complacent and continuing to vote for Republicans and DINOs. Knowing how things really are is exactly what would get them out of their houses in force, shouting in the streets.
