I feel the same about the Battlestar Galactica reboot. Was there a cigarette ship in the fleet or something?

Much is known of the causes of certain things happening around the world.

Why would I be sarcastic about it? It sure isn’t a joke.

Most all of countries in Africa and South America and a lot in Asia and all of ME is ruled by people that do not have the best intentions nor best interests for their people. De facto dictators.

The worse is they call themselves left wing OR right and they the same slave of some big insurance companies and the plaything of hedgefunds. Us & Europe aren’t different, just richer.

It seems like media is controlled by a small number of people, not sure if they have anything in common.

They do.

They’re capital owners.

Yes, I agree.

May be I should have added “…” or made it more clear, that yes they do share things in common.

My fault on that end, thanks for pointing it out!

Normally when people talk about a “small cabal of elites ruling the world” it’s a dogwhistle for “the jews”.

Just to reiterate - if thinly veiled antisemitism wasn’t your intent, you may want to phrase your subtle implications differently in the future.

It is, so you definitely want to keep that in mind when consuming their content. On the flipside, they have access to sources in the Middle East that your big mainstream western media organizations can only dream about, so you don’t want to ignore them entirely either. There are ways to be smart about it.
