        Actions against the US, UK, Israel etc are justified as part of the hybrid war these states have been fighting against one another for decades, and most of these are based on pretty flimsy evidence/accusations. Most major states could be called “sponsors of terrorism” if this is what qualifies. Of course, that’s not to say that stuff like the Fatwa against Rushdie is good, or based, just that this pales in comparison to what other states have done to Iran for the past couple of centuries.

    Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.

    I’ve said it before, but I really don’t understand how these “Journalists” function. Like, surely they would know that flat out lying to people is the opposite of all those starry-eyed dreams they had studying journalism at uni. Like, surely someone gets into journalism because they want to inform the public, or they want to win a Pulitzer or something. So I don’t get how they could be so soulless in their career, how do they justify it to themselves? Is it just the money? Is it the “if I wasn’t doing this, someone else would be, so I might as well benefit” are they true believers who think that anything can be justified, as long as it makes “their side” look good? I can’t imagine them being anything other than incredibly evil and selfish, or incredibly naive or stupid, or some combination of the two.

    I don’t think there’s a single group of people I would trust less than journalists, maybe political scientists or economists.

    EDIT: I think I might’ve found a worse group of people, the sort of people who recognise that journalists are full of shit, and yet will take the word of journalists as gospel, as long as it agrees with their preconceived notions about the scary brown people.
