Here's a pretty pessimistic article.
Demonic nihilism has infected the nation

And now a question for the audience. My guess is that in today's world, a majority of people in a party with the power are optimistic, and the party of of power is pessimistic.
i have absolutely no idea what point you are trying to make, so please be more specific and we can discuss.
that said, once SCOTUS officially approved billionaires with no allegiance to anything other than more self wealth at any cost, and multinational corporate conglomerates with zero allegiance to any country or citizenry or even it's own long term growth and existence, but literally only to short term share price, to purchase both parties, our politicians, our policies, our laws, our regulatory agencies, thus our govt in general, and ALL media of scale, what did people expect would happen.
our govt and the media can only best serve it's citizenry when that is the agenda of the govt and the media, and currently that isn't the agenda of either in the slightest, nor can it be under the current ownership of both.
when govt is allowed to be bought, 100% chance it will be.
it was officially allowed to be bought, (thanks SCOTUS, you beyond treasonous scum), thus it was bought.
when all media is corporate, all media will serve the corporation itself first and no other entity.
what did people think would happen when SCOTUS approved money buying the US govt from the citizenry?
what did people think would happen when ALL media of scale became corporate, and 100% symbiotic to the money that bought the govt?
we know WHEN this happened.
the question now, is how does the citizenry reclaim the govt from the moneyed interests, and the media from the corporate interests.
