I can get behind that. I certainly don’t intend to do nothing. ‘Oh, the Aussie Trump’ has passed my lips more than once.
You raise good points of which I am not unaware, although I’d suggest (technofuedalist controlled) social media is more a threat, and sadly more intractable, than Murdoch et.al. today (not sure what scope you meant by mass media).
That’s a great point about social media, especially considering the biggest examples (Meta group, Twitter) are owned by some of the most ultrawealthy people on Earth, with technofeudal ambitions. I was thinking about more traditional media so I’m glad you emphasised social media.
