Tom MorelloCharles Manson loved the Beatles but didnโt understand them. Governor Chris Christie loves Bruce Springsteen but doesnโt understand him. And Paul Ryan is clueless about his favorite band, Rage Against the Machine.
Tom MorelloEvery story has a point of view and whether it's by what one chooses to include or exclude from a story or whether it's a very specific agenda that is pushed, there is no such thing as objective media. Once you realize that it's more than just a marketplace of ideas, it's a battleground of ideas that are suppressed and the ideas that are pushed forward in the mainstream media are the ones that independent media has a chance to address. I think that the democratization of media in that way can be very helpful in allowing the truth to come out in a way that it might not on CNN or FOX.
Tom MorelloAmerica touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom youโve lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesnโt belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you donโt care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve.
