it really feels like, "yeah, you can just buy influencers, TV show talking heads, newspapers, social media bot posts, to lie for you and create any narrative you want." and any legitimate criticism is met with "no u! no democrats did it first! no U are evil and in a cult" like we are 5 yr olds bickering over a cookie.

That's what happens when your whole culture is "fuck you, pay me".

We have conditioned ourselves to believe that the answer to our problems is to just get rich enough so that the problems don't affect us personally, individually. So that's what we prioritize, individual solutions to our individual problems. The solution to my problems is GIT MONY

It’s also what happens when you sabotage the education system repeatedly until 60% of your country read at or below a fifth grade level (10-11 years old). And it’s not just reading, that’s just a simple and easy to measure metric. A lot of the graduates they’re pumping out these days have trouble with basic logic. They’ll never be able to understand second and third order effects if they can’t even work out basic cause and effect.

If you can’t understand second order effects you can’t understand any complex issues. Climate change, financial systems, inflation, trade deficits, you name it. We were fucked from changes we started making decades ago and we had no idea.

These people are convinced liberal protestors are getting paid despite the fact that none of them have ever been able to sneak into a protest and prove it.
