The United States is a corporation.

It’s easy to understand if you realize that America is essentially a corporation rather than a country, and that country is only representing its shareholders.
In case you’re confused - if you’re not rich and powerful, you’re not a shareholder. You’re an employee or a commodity or an expense, and you exist to enrich the shareholder class.
Isn't it kind of dumb to say that the shit giant media corporations report is somehow worthy of criticism of the US Government?
The state doesn't run the media in the USA, lmao.
The people that run the state run the media. Your senator doesn't care about your vote, but the 9 mil in unofficial gifts from lobbyists of 20 corporations owned mostly by the same billionaire that owns half of all media outlets? They're listening to that money.
One of he biggest media moguls in the US literally tried to become president and spent a billion dollars on his campaign
Lmfao
Isn't it kind of dumb to say that this post is only criticizing the government when it says nothing of the sort?
State controlled media isn't the only way a society can be corrupt, lmao.
The billionaires and corporations run the state and the media. Not laughing my ass off.
It seems like grasping at straws to say the post title and description below the image are referring to a larger collective of people and explicitly not the state institutions, but in both cases you'd be a nihilistic moron for ignoring the nuanced sociopolitical landscape.
Problem with these messages is they blame the solutions for all their problems. They dont want to fix things. They want a reason to talk shit and encourage violence and destruction.
jesse what the fuck are you talking about?
I'm not ignoring your point of view, just pointing out that you read what you wanted to read, not what was written. The nuance is that you have an even less nuanced view of politics than the meme, assuming that op must mean America should be dismantled. Criticism isn't destruction you nationalistic fool! No amount of flowery language will save your arguments from being close minded and built with strawmen.
