Caitlin Johnstone: Butt is a corporate puppet

She makes a good case here. Butt's rhetoric that we can have real change if we but compromise with the status quo just means let's maintain he status quo. We will never get the kind of change we need from the oligarchy and their puppets in government because they like it just the way it is. And Butt is their well-groomed front man, handsome and reassuring us that we just need to work with everyone including the very people who are the root of the problem. He is part and parcel of the entire spin machine aimed at manipulating us into manufactured consent.

Instead we need a real revolution where we wake up to that manipulation and start to write our own narrative:

"One where people begin to open their eyes to the reality that their entire understanding of what’s going on in the world has been the result of mass psychological manipulation throughout their entire lives at the hands of the school system, the billionaire-controlled news media, and the political establishment. One where people open their eyes so wide to the power of narrative control that they become impossible to propagandize. One where people begin weaving their own narratives. Their own understandings of the world. Built not for the benefit of the powerful, but for the benefit of the people."

We are woke and we won't be fooled again. We are writing our own narrative and Bernie is OUR front man.
