90% of Dem politicians are bought and paid for by corporations/oligarchs too. If you believe they're not, you're part of the problem.

"The fascism will kill itself"

"That's good"

"The fascism will kill hundreds of millions of people while doing so"

"That's bad"

"The human race may have a chance to survive if the population rapidly collapses"

"That's good"

"Except the Earth will be poisoned for millions of years"

... "can I go now"

Enshittification guarantees a near 100% chance they'll do it eventually, so you're better off preemptively moving to an alternative sooner that later.

Capitalist problems require capitalist solutions (aka make them pay for being cunt / key their shit)

You're giving Henry the racist too much credit. He probably knows of zero evidence to back up his feefees, beyond chinese whispers peddled by psychological warfare operatives.

More better is certainly bestest.

The ridiculous part isn't dropping MSM, which is unequivocally captured by the plutocracy and anti-consumer/worker interests, but the fact that people are switching to "influencers" and pundits who are not journalists and frequently know-nothing morons at-best; psychological warfare operatives at worst.

It seems like the only thing which could stop them from screwing consumers is hard limits on the profit margins they can charge.

It's a big club, and you ain't in it.

Capitalism hasn't spent decades, and a depressingly small ampunt of money, capturing the political class, to improve the lives of the working class.

Hate to tell ya but the political class is curated and manufactured by the corporate plutocracy. Most of them are scabs paid to talk the talk publicly, while offering subservience behind closed doors. Anyone actually walking the walk is an anomaly; if they ever have a reasonable chance of success, they are pre-emptively neutralized by the states monopoly on violence.

They will also crush all organized movements with mass surveillance, and it's only going to get worse. It seems like the masses only recourse is self-sacrifice through vigilante terrorism. It's much harder to stop a motivated and autonomous, self-organizing, lone-wolf / individual (see mass shooters).
