You're out of your ing mind. One of tbe greatest abuses that lower classes have to endure is the 24 hour propoganda and emotional hijacking machine known as "the news".

God forbid people have the freedom to have cognitive peace, quiet, contemplation, and free play.

If anything, the "disadvantaged" have more to gain from disengaging from constant cognitive hijacking!

You want to take the only thing they have to distract them, from them?

I mean, that would quickly lead to change alright, but it’s also why a lot of people are invested in making sure that never happens.
