Reporters write about the wide spectrum of current events, politics and especially finance but there are very few qualified investigative reporters among us today. Communists are financed by elitists slavemasters whose desire is to ensnare vulnerable idiots (especially "green college students) who worshipped a sadistic murderer named Che Guevara rather than a Simon Bolivar or a George Washington. Thus the bulk of the unwary are led down a primrose path where they get fleeced over and over again. Joseph Granville once said "News is for suckers".
you need to know the difference between communism and socialism and social democracies. The latter is prevalent in many European states. People there are happy with some getting a few more thousands of Euros (maybe 10s of thousands), which they find acceptable if one decided to delay earning $ for a few years. In NA, sadly, where there is a dog eat dog mentality (the type that is often ascribed to Chinese oddly) students must incur huge debts as states do not help out like in many European countries. The lure of high paying jobs after college sadly does not materialize for all. I would say that the greatest way to turn someone into a terrorist, a while neo-nazi, a Christian zealot or a Muslim extremist is to ensure unemployment or low wages with no path to a career. Think 1950 to 1970. Corruption of government officials has caused a great deal of financial hardships. Google Pelosi's fortune or Fauci. There are thousands. The MSM is in bed with the advertisers and do the news is biased left, right, and center. Differences among these are superficial and are about issues that will not rebalance socio-demographic conditions. Is it okay to have actors, athletes, politicians and tv anchors earning enough to buy luxury cars and watches? Yachts? Private planes? And talking about climate change? While many can't afford healthy food and baby formulas? If disregulated neoliberal capitalist systems were not oligarchies there would be fewer people demanding a fairer society. That is what these people are actually asking. The less this is possible, the more likely there will be frustrations, crime. The systems (corporate profit-driven at all cost missions,...) and government disregulations are not fair. They need to be addressed. That corporations and governments are promoting or enforcing censorship of ideas (under the guise of moderation rules around free speech) is another sign that the systems are getting worse.
