"American liberals just spent days raging at CNN for hosting a town hall with Donald Trump like it's the worst thing CNN has ever done. CNN isn't horrible because it "platformed" Trump, CNN is horrible because it's an imperialist propaganda firm whose whole job is to deceive people into supporting the most depraved agendas of the world's most powerful people. Hosting that town hall was one of the least evil things CNN has done.

Liberals shouldn't be upset at CNN for betraying their trust by platforming Trump, they should be upset with themselves for trusting CNN. It's so, so much worse than they're giving it credit for."

I really try to challenge my bias but I can't read something that says "capitalist dystopia" in this current socialist central bank system

The problem with “alternatives to capitalism” is that they all require MORE central government control- which is the cause of all our problems. (Power always corrupts)

Capitalism is just a description of what humans do NATURALLY in a voluntary free market economy.

The ONLY solution is LESS GOVERNMENT.

Real definition of capitalism is free market and respect of private property, exchange of goods based on respect of the market. Problem is people associate it with US administration for 50 years, and what they do is opposite of capitalism. It "sounds" like a bad and selfish thing

Absolutely- but at the spiritual/intuitive/first-principle level:

Capitalism is * natural / free / voluntary *

All other systems require - manipulation / coercion / control -

So the solution is LESS “help” LESS “control” LESS government.

The problem is the ignorant believe they need “help” or assistance from the powerful- the people do not yet see, those things are the cause of their suffering- their chains.
