We Can Challenge Male Supremacy Through Citizen-Broadcasting Tools

Male supremacy is a repetitive con job on all of society. Male supremacists are simply con artists, fooling everyone into buying their snake oil as they laugh their way to the bank. Time to dismantle this bullshit facade of the glorified pimp.

Broadcasting is still heavily controlled by a few, but now more of us have access to the necessary tools than ever before in history. The internet, coupled with social media software and smart phones, puts the power in many more hands, despite users still being beholden to corporate owners.

Once you collage together a "news headline" it becomes scarily obvious how easy it is to project "news." The mainstream broadcasters do it every day. From Fox News to MSNBC, they all create the illusion of authority, and we decide whom to trust. The choice is more overwhelming now, but the over-saturation helps challenge some people's media illiteracy. It can help prove that it's easy to fool people into believing propaganda is fact. Like all monopoly systems, the only reason broadcasters seemed so legitimate in the past was because they controlled all means of production so few could refute them. When you're the only voice in town it's much easier to manipulate others. With the rise of divergent voices, it becomes harder. Unfortunately, we're still trapped by the corporate owners of the broadcasting software. They choose whether or not we get access, and if we misbehave, they boot us off and make an example of us. There won't be a free press until the means of production are equally distributed into the hands of all world citizens. Yet, we can try our hardest to reach equality with the limited tools we have at our disposal. So the next time the "news" pisses you off with lies, propaganda, hyperbole, or opinions, think how you can counter their narrative with your own citizen broadcast.
