Power structures thrive on silence and conformity. The first step towards change is the courage to question even when surrounded by complacency.

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum."

Freedom of expression is not a privilege earned by the agreeable, but a right for all—even those we oppose. Without this, liberty is but an illusion.

"The so-called crisis of immigration is an indication of a bigger moral crisis in the wealthy countries of the world; those societies that have resources to help those who are in severe danger."

"The central concern, with regard to the Third World, is to defend the right to rob and to exploit, to protect 'our' raw materials. More generally, the concern is to maintain the Grand Area subordinated to the needs of U.S. elites and to ensure that other powers are limited to

"In a functioning democracy, healthcare would be seen as a fundamental right, not a commodity sold for profit to those who can afford it."

"If you look at history, even recent history, you see that there is indeed progress... Over time, the cycle is clearly, generally upwards. And it doesn't happen by laws of nature... It happens as a result of hard work by dedicated people who are willing to look at problems

"Unions not only defend workers' rights but provide a sense of solidarity, a community of people working together against exploitation."

"Universal healthcare isn’t radical—it’s the bare minimum for a humane society. The fact that it’s still debated shows how deeply corporations control public policy."

"Strong unions are the cornerstone of a functioning democracy, countering the power of concentrated wealth and corporate interests."

"The attack on labor unions is a reflection of a general effort to limit democratic control and concentrate power in the hands of corporations."

Beware the illusion of choice. When media serves corporate power, it becomes a tool for manufacturing consent, not informing democracy. Who truly controls the narrative we consume?
