The media is almost wholly owned by the same people responsible for the policy setting. The people are propagandized into acceptance and complacency. Even the “left” in this country is in fact made up of capitalist apologists and collaborators. They installed “compatible leftists” into universities wholesale in the 60s and it hasn’t changed. Milquetoast criticism of the most egregious harm is all you can ever expect. I have no idea how to overcome 80 or so years of brainwashing the populace. I am glad I never had kids.
