And you do it well, kudos! As James Carvill once said but using a different word.."it's the system stupid". The corporate duopoly is always in power; you are not allowed a choice, only the pretence of a choice. As Chompsky said; it's "manufactured consent" and you have to be wilfully blind not to see it. Much cheaper and more effective than a police state could even be.

I agree wiht all that except this: "you have to be wilfully blind not to see it."
...Propaganda is AMAZINGLY powerful!
I stand corrected. In the last few years the effects of propaganda writ large has been tested on fMRI machines. What happens is that the pre frontal cortex actually shuts down leaving you open to suggestion/propaganda/stories. This explains why homo sapiens is the story believing primate which allows us to build large societies based on commonly believed stories. It also explains why we're so easy to control by a small cottier of elites.
