Little of what you are talking about has actually happened. Business Insider is most likely owned by one of those six corporations. Social media has brought scrutiny to issues that used to go unnoticed. You just posted a thing saying the government has gone to shit, and if this post gets upvoted to the top of steemit you will make three thousand dollars and that will be the only consequence, because you are more free to speak your mind than you have ever been.

It has not completly gone to shit yet. But, if you have eyes to see. Its not hard to see it. The government can lock anyone up they see as a terrorist, with no due process. That alone is government gone to shit. Have you flown lately? Americans being patted down to get on a plane. By TSA own admissions, they have never stopped a terror plot? Hillery Clinto just lied her ass off on these emails scandals, thats a fact from the director of the fbi testimony. What happened to her? Running for president. If you lied under oath you would be under the pokey. That is government gone to shit. During the boston bombing, when they were trying to find the younger brother. Did you happen to see what the MILITARIZED POLICE did? They entered peoples homes with automatic weapons pointed at families and thier CHILDREN. That is government gone to shit. Katrina, UNITED STATES ARMY with NATIONAL GUARD went house to house and confiscated weapons. THAT IS GOVERNMENT GONE TO SHIT. I could go on and on and on of examples of government gone to shit. So, yes it has happened.
Our southern boarders are wide open, and the illegals they do catch are given a bus ticket anywhere in the country they want to go. They are given a promise to appear in court. Can you guess how many actually show up in court? States giving illegals drivers licenses. They can also file to get SOCIAL SECURITY BENIFITS. Wait, thats our money for AMERICANS. another example of government gone to shit.
You have to show id to cash a check, open a bank account, fly, gosh what do you do that you must show id? Hundreds of actions REQUIRE PHOTO ID. But to vote showing photo id is racist. Thats because they want anyone to vote, all people including illegals. Thats government gone to shit. Should I continue?
NSA......all this spying the government does on the people. I cant even say anymore about this. If AMERICANS do not care their government was caught in the act, and still doing it. Im speechless to this one
Central bankers printing cash out of thin air. Bailing out the banks in 2008. AND STILL DOING IT. Monitizing debt, lowering the federal funds rate to zero for 10 years. Packing on the debt. Government spending on the military industrial complex. Killing our sons and daughters over lies. Whats worse about it Bush makes jokes about the weapons of mass destruction that were not found. Yes, its all happened.
Being free to speak one's mind and being free are two very different things. Also, freedom of information ( per Reporters Without Borders) has sharply declined under Obama and his War On Whistle-Blowers.
