In all seriousness, I really did used to trust the New York Times, Greenpeace, and thought PETA gave a shit about life.

When you’ve studied something for years and you know what the facts are, and you see the blatant lies… You cannot unsee it.

I now question EVERYTHING.

I thought politicians were WORKING FOR US. I thought the FDA protected our food supply. I thought I was skeptical and discerning but I truly was not. The unraveling has taken years I can’t get back. I contributed to the problem.

No more.

I felt the same about European institutions.

When I moved to US I knew not to trust the FDA on food but I did trust the NYT and Greenpeace. Not any more.

The matrix is a allegory about stories like this

wow ..when did you think any politician is working for you?

the only politician in the world working for you maybe is bukele in el salvador

Don’t pretend you were born knowing what to know now

What you know now

I'm glad you are awake and aware. Many live an entire life sleepwalking...😢

I agree wholeheartedly!

We have all been busy working and focusing on practical matters. Even though I have been skeptical I still didn't realize the extent of the corruption.

2020 brought a tsunami of lockstep authoritarianism. A Pandora's box of central planning spectres roared into animation and the world changed overnight.
