80's and the rise of corporate bedfellows was the beginning of the end.

Lotta good that's done us.
The problem is not, nor has it ever been, with the corporations and/or those puppet strings used to control the populace.
The problem is with the sheople people that we have become.
As a whole, as a society, we're a bunch of fricktards who bendover and take it up the arse for everything ... especially white people, and law abiding Conservatives.
The movie was actually an indictment on white men and corporations when, in fact, it was/is the liberals who control the media, the education system and hollywood.
But Hollywood wasn't going to tell that part of the story. It was much easier to go after Corporations and Capitalism ... Wall Street and Madison Avenue.

A tremendous amount of money and effort is spent on keeping people in a state of sedated happiness, which creates "sheeple".

It's remarkable how broken a mind can be by the polarized political game between libs and conservatives.
This movie had nothing at all to do with red vs blue thing.
And you think it was attacking capitalism?
It's attacking neoliberal globalization. The network was taken over by Arabs, yes?
After watching this movie you shouldn't be thinking this was pro liberal or pro conservative. Unfortunately that's how way too many people look at everything.
It should be very sobering, even frightening to consider the power of just a handful of conglomerates owning everything that we hear and see.
