minus-squareMartianRecon@lemmus.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up70·1 month agoWhat’s depressing is if literally any of our institutions acted how they were supposed to, this wouldn’t be an issue. The 4th estate is failing the country because they’ve been bought by oligarchs. The judicial apparatus is failing because it’s been bought by oligarchs. The political apparatus is failing because it’s been bought by oligarchs. Man I wish we could put our finger on the reason why everything is coming down around us…
