Sen. Mark Kelly says feds need to do a "better job" of letting Americans know "there's a huge amount of misinformation" on election
"It's up to us, the people who serve in Congress and in the White House to get the information out there," Sen. Mark Kelly told "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."
Uh, not exactly. It is your job to check and balance the other two pillars of democracy — an informed public due to a free press, which in an a digital age means determinism in access to information free from manipulation — and an unbiased judiciary.
There are members of the highest potato supreme that openly accept bribes and fly the flag of a coup without consequences, while a coup leader not only goes unpunished, but is allowed to run for office decisively.
The entire internet is undermined by the existence of only two web crawlers that all other search providers query by proxy. These two, Alphabet and Microsoft both have no transparency and both do not show deterministic results. The mass collection of data is now being used to manipulate people directly on the individual level. Data mining is the theft of a part of a person for sale with the intention of manipulation. It is digital neo slavery. Democracy is not compatible with anyone that requires trust to operate. Trust is the tool of the authoritarian tyrant. Trust leads to monarchy and feudalism. Trusting those that enriched themselves to do the right thing is exactly what lead to the feudal era of a thousand years ago. It is exactly what proceeded the decline of the Roman empire and what lead to all the petty and constant wars in Europe. The age of enlightenment might have happened much sooner if it wasn't for the backwards regression of feudalism.
I find it sad that we lack people out there saying and fixing the real issues. Capitalism only works when the market has no influence on the people's governance. The entire point of capitalism is to separate the market from governance as a means to oust bad actors.
Without the separation of the three pillars of legislature, judiciary, and a well informed citizenry, democracy is dead.
We are ADHD obsessed with the trees but totally forget that we're in a forest. Or more aptly, we're too stupid to remember to breathe to keep living because we forgot the simplest of principals learned in the 6th grade.
