    Capital is taking away our ability to speak to power about societal problems.

    It’s not a silly little thing, it’s a real problem that we need to address. Nearly a quarter of the US adult population is functionally illiterate. They are taking our power to communicate away slowly, little bits at a time. They start with the big, heavy topics that make people upset, the topics that might make people rally together and push back against the system. Rape? Murder? Nazis? Suicide? No no no, those aren’t acceptable so we don’t say that. Monkey see no evil, say no evil, hear no evil. Be quiet and buy your new phone and buy your celebrity energy drinks.

    Tune in tomorrow to see what the next banned ideas are.

    Grab your rake and shovel and work those fields, serf.
