No I don't. Your point about "propaganda making their point with emotion, repetition, and invective" is a great descriptor of ALL media for the past several years, from all sides. If established elites are determining which media outlets are "correct" and which ones are "propaganda", then the disenfranchised, minorities, subjugated, and others who are outside this elite group have no way to amplify their voices without permission from the entrenched.
Then, when those groups realise they don't have legitimate means of voice, they either choose to exit (migration), or armed action.
This is the point Taibbi is making - don't back people into a corner.
- hackyhacky 6y agoYou're right. I've been foolishly ignoring the subjugated minority of white, male, wealthy, Christian Trump supporters. Let's give a voice to this oft-neglected underclass. /s obviously.
- forgingahead 6y agoIs this you? It's great that you feel empowered and have been successful in this country. Lots of minorities haven't been, and for reasons outside of their control, based in historical inequalities.[0] So do these minorities you reference have yours and other elites permission to post on Youtube? Or will they also get censored? [0]https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25025556 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25025556
