Can we not just have regular crime or accidents anymore? Must everything be terrorism? That singular label is how the government is circumventing the constitution.
The loss of meaning feels like a real problem. It feels like the last ten years has had a lot of rapid turnover with our post-truth world.
People want to use extreme language to describe extreme events, make people emotional. But when every event is labeled that way, it loses meaning, even if it is true:
calling people Hitler
racism
genocide
antisemitism
health care
truth
patriotism
We have had actual racism, actual genocide, actual antisemitism. But if every event becomes these things, what do the words even mean?
Needs fire.
Starting the year with a bang, huh?
Fucking poetry
It actually looks better burned out.

You answered your own question.
I suppose I did, but like, can I be wrong in my cynicism for once? Can we just not?
It’s pretty sus and way too perfect, but the explosion actually happened.
I hope you weren’t actually staying at that asshole’s hotel.
Can we salvage the eagle meat? People have kids to feed.
Probably not.

Obviously a police guard goes way too far, but that could easily have been a healthcare disaster. Getting meat and cheese out of a dumpster?
