Hi Mod,
Hmmm, . . . I don’t know. Maybe you are being overly pendantic? Or maybe I am misunderstanding.
I can agree with you that the amerikan public may not know about specifics, like blacks were (are) to be considered 3/5 a person, or the quantity, ten million native americans have been annihilated, but do you really believe that amerikans have not gotten the general gist that the elites who are in charge rig the system for themselves?
The doors, they may be closed doors, but are you really arguing that they are absolutely opaque? That after two hundred years of systematic designs of oppression, you are arguing that it would be understandable that amerikans haven't figured this stuff out?
Consider amerika’s founding fathers (please). James Madison said that government should "protect the minority of the opulent against the majority." They passed laws that prevented woman, minorities, and the landless from voting. These laws were kind of public for a long time. Not very secretive. How does knowing the specifics make a difference? Please be, . . . errrm, . . . specific.

Slavery is just a little bit ‘dodgy’? Native american annihilation is just a little bit ‘dodgy’?
You are arguing americans don’t know about slavery? You are arguing americans don’t know about the slaughter of native americans?
Things have been in plain site, for a very very long time. I should think it shouldn't take a huge leap of imagination to believe amerika could do something a little less evil, like vote-rigging . . .
There has been a economic class war since america was founded. Not really a top secret encrypted code. I recently read the top 100 CEOs of american business have as much wealth as the bottom 41% of americans. This is a secret?
I just posted above about only a handful of american CORPORATE media have total control of information in the US. This is a secret?
I believe election-rigging is as amerikan as apple pie. Both Reps/Dems sides do it, and the voters literally support it.
Mod, can you explain what difference general versus specifics make?
