An amazing piece, thank you. For years I thought there was something wrong with me. I was never driven by consumerism, never wanted to keep up with the Jones's, never followed trends, never followed celebrities, and always made my own mind up about things and people. I would periodically question the struggle to make it or make ends meet but would always dismiss my intuition. I think I have always known subconsciously that something isn't right with a society. When family time is impacted by both parents working long hours, when society has to brag about having the latest this and that, when we have a celebrity culture that makes young women feel inadequate, when we have so much hate encouraged by the media and authorities in the name of 'inclusion', when the elderly are living on the worst pensions in developed nations, when the poorest in society in a developed nation have to use food banks, when people in economically less developed countries are still starving and some without sanitation despite the billions sent in foreign aid and despite the many hundreds of charitable organisations set up to help them, you know something is not right. It hit me hard when I realised all of this, but I'm glad I see things clearly now. Some say democracy is an illusion but it is a system that has been put in place. We must now work to legitimise it and safeguard ourselves from future tyranny. We are sovereign and free. The elites may have all the money in the world but we have the potential to tap into a force that is so much stronger, community and a heart full of love and empathy. We are the 99%. We now just need to wake people up.

This is why Tucker Carlson is so important to the cause. Yes, he is evil, but he's a lesser evil.
