There's a bunch of things in your post that I could address, but I'd rather stick to the heart of the matter. You're still clamoring about how strong institutional power is, I'm denying that, but I don't think you're getting me here: It's never been this week.
For God's sake, look at your name. The Progressive Corporate media has been the enemy of the people since Pulitzer helped start the Spanish-American War. The guy who's name was applied to the highest award for journalism ever. Which was given to the guy your named after, who was an active spy and activist for the Soviet Union, who intentionally ignored mass slaughter. And was well-respected for decades.
The power of all of these institutions was more than you could possibly believe. There was a reason why LBJ was concerned about Walter Cronkite's opinion. That's the kind of sway they held. You're worried about financial censorship, but FDR criminalized gold/silver for 40 years from a single executive order. You're worried about Deep State spy shit, but have you ever heard of J. Edgar Hoover? You're worried about Big Funding, but do you realize how the Fed was created? You're worried about tech censorship, but do you remember when the FCC killed pirate radio (to this very day)?
Yes, sure, Trump doesn't have much institutional power. He's had to build it himself, effectively from scratch.
This is a revolution. The revolutionaries a plucky little fighters who don't have much institutional power, but it doesn't mean they just lose. They just haven't won yet.
Yes, there's a longer war ahead for all of us, but the institutions have never been this weak before, an it looks like their collapse is not gonna take 50 years. I doubt they make it even 20. I can't tell you what 2030 looks like, the acceleration of their collapse has outpaced all historical norms.
The neolibs can run to Spain while leaving the dogmatic progressives behind.
Dude, Spain is like Progressive Saudi Arabia. You're not going to avoid any dogmatic progressives there.
If the institutions are weak, we would have seen at least someone fired or Clapper and Brennan thrown in prison.
Biden doesn't care what the media says, just like Obama's journolist, because the media are Dem shills.
Besides, Hoover's FBI today only bother to infiltrate right wing militias and 4chan.
And at the moment, the Big Guys are strong while the Trumpers are weak. I'm not saying don't fight or become blackpilled, I'm saying know the enemy and the cards they hold.

You're missing my point. I didn't say they were weak. They're not. I'm saying they've never been this week. It's a relative statement. You're complaining about Clapper & Brennan not going to prison. McNamara and Kissinger never went to prison. Kissinger only just lost his job! That's the power that the establishment had.
Now yes, I said they're on the brink of disaster, but again, that's the same as "weak". The collapse, for them, will come very suddenly.
Remember. If you had asked anyone in 1985 when the Soviet Union would fall, they would have said "maybe within 100 years". Nobody would have told you, "within the next 4 years".

You can avoid the American ones.
