    “We” have been heavily propagandized into this. As a nation we’re a masterclass in being brainwashed against our own interests

      Once upon a time, I thought the arrival of the internet would mean ordinary people would be better informed. But Trump being elected twice has proven me wrong.
      It’s not used as much for information as it is used for misinformation and propaganda.

      In the 70’s I thought better information would end religion, it’s insane how quickly we are getting absolutely nowhere.

      I have come to realize, that I’m VERY naive in some respects. Hard not to turn into a cynic.
