Meaningful Philosophy from a Cartoon Character

Corporatism
I'm usually not very political but there are strange things going on lately. I don't want to believe what I see. It's very discouraging. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Here are two scary quotes I found.
"Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy. You in America will see that some day." Mussolini
“Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations they've long since bought and paid for, the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and the information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them.”
― George Carlin
I pray that things are not turning out as bad as they seem.

—what an older and less elegant generation called the horse-and-sparrow theory:
'If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows.'"
