psy-ops delivered to your front stoop

This is why we're fighting oligarchy bullsh*t:

Stuart Jeanne Bramhall opednews:

The lesson I derive from the food theory of revolution is not that progressives shouldn't organize -- but that they need to focus less on political oppression (low wages, attacks on unions and civil liberties, cuts in Social Security, Medicare, Wall Street criminality, etc) and more on psychological oppression. Wilhelm Reich makes the same argument in The Mass Psychology of Fascism. It's pointless trying to organize the working class around political and economic injustice without addressing the psychological rigidity that imprisons all of us as products of a profoundly authoritarian social and family structure.
... Otherwise I totally agree with Keiser's and Zoellick's food theory of revolution, especially in countries like the US where psychological oppression is a bigger problem than political oppression. Psychological oppression is much less prevalent in countries like Greece, France and Spain (and apparently Britain), where strong working class consciousness enables workers to instantly identify when the government and corporate elite are screwing them. In these countries, workers are far more willing to take to the streets over less life threatening issues -- for example, hikes in student tuition, high youth unemployment, pension cuts, an increase in the retirement age, unpopular wars and evidence of corruption in the criminal justice system.
The second problem with opting for inaction is that we greatly increase the probability the capitalistic political-economic system will collapse into utter chaos.[we can do something by being vigilant. Yeeee-ah- Cos67] If we simply wait for global capitalism to self-destruct, we will most likely end up with a violent, fragmented failed state -- like Afghanistan, Somalia or post-Soviet Russia -- controlled by criminal gangs and sociopathic warlords.[this is where our leaders are taking us, by default. They don't have a plan- Cos67]

What Branhall's trying to say is that Murdoch and the other circle jerk media moguls
are using their position as information peddlers, in North America and other colonies,
to encourage the colonials to take their medicine, in suppository form.
