Remember all the talk way back when that when? How when the u.s. government couldn't control the backlash from its corruption anymore, it would divert the public into a decade or two of controlled "civic nationalism"? This is that. Read a paragraph from a recent article about him > Billionaire Pierre Omidyar's philanthropic investment firm announced a $100 million commitment to support investigative reporting and fight hate speech at the Skoll World Forum at Oxford on Wednesday. Omidyar Network says it will use the funding, which will be given out over the next three years, to fight some of the "root causes of the global trust deficit." It also gives money to the ADL. This is 100% Omidyar using the trust vacuum in the media to take up a new power position--one pushing co-opted "civic nationalism". And the only way to avoid that outcome is to accelerate the collapse, rather than letting it be diverted.
