    Fight misinformation with action. Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? It’s simple, the current power play can be stopped if the American people put pressure on the government. Protests work too. So does getting involved in your local community and changing your purchasing habits to cut out the corporations as much as possible.

    Recapture the means of existence for yourselves, and take down the corpo-kleptocracy in the process.

      If there is literally no free and independent press, how can you possibly know what is misinformation?

      And what action would you suggest taking?

      And that still doesn’t explain what any of that has to do with the Declaration of Independence.

        The actions were stated in the edit of my previous comment, but I will place them here as well.
