More and more people - including some former more right-wing posters - have been saying something's wrong.
The thing is, when that happens, it can result in good change - but more often it seems to result in the wrong poeple being con men and demagoguing their way to power and gaing public support for bad policy.
Chris Hedges is a top author at making sense of these things. He's the author (in my sig) who wrote my favorite book title in a decade+, "War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning". That book looked at a war in a way I think must almost certainly change the people who read it, beneath the shallow topics to how peple and societies are set up for wanting war they think they don't want.
Now he has another book out, which rails against the decline of Americans, in the context of the corporatocracy. I suspect many who read it will recognize how well he describes problems.
The unfortunate thing is, the truth he describes is more gloomy than optimistic.
He paints a picture of ever-more domiance by the corporate culture, empty in humanity. It's not a normal political book, in that it ties together things like the emptiness of the porn industry and other observations.
Here's a link to the book, you can check out the user reviews for the flavor.
