John, You have over-stated the case, as it isn't a gloomy as you say. Not true that "nobody" is being heard. There are a number of prominent people who have had a lot of coverage, just not on the major corporate news platforms, which are dying a slow death due to their slavish adherence to the empire. I cite the following names of those who HAVE been speaking out, albeit somewhat inconsistently if we look at all the relevant issues: Joe Rogan, Jimmy Dore, RFK,Jr. , Richard Gage, Naomi Wolf, Sen. Ron Johnson, Kim Iverson , Whitney Webb, Max Blumenthal are among those who come to mind. Some of these have ben on the late night talk radio programs with millions of listeners, as well as having to some degree their own platforms.
The gloomy view is the one that believes the world remains bad despite the fact that many people speak the truth about the key topics I cite.
The optimistic view—my view—is the one that believes the world remains bad because people aren’t yet speaking key truths but it will be a better world when they do.
Please point me to where one of the people you mentioned has clearly stated that racial discrimination against non-whites harms, not benefits, working class whites, or that Zionist oppression of Palestinians is for the purpose of enabling the ruling class of Israel to control and oppress the Israeli Jewish working class, or that the reason many and arguably most people who opposed same-sex marriage had nothing to do with bigotry but rather a concern for children.
