The old “Manufacturing Consent” paradigm is way past its usefulness. The ruling elite don’t need consent anymore, they just do it out in the open & tell us, with the willing assistance of the corporate media water-carriers, it’s not how it looks. Millions gratefully accept this propaganda rather than, as you say, face the uncomfortable truth.

The number of people who raced to defend such brutality simply because Floyd was no Boy Scout provide their own sad corollary to these perilous times.
