Journal by c0lo

(in the loving memory of Runaway1956, who succumbed after a long battle to gatewaypundits. May his brain rest in peace, squeaky clean and smoothed over)

because "Doing your own research" is far easier nowadays than building the habit of thinking critically.
Add COVID-anxiety, a chaotic narcissistic Orange clown and compound with the lack of survival problems to solve for the everyday life in a westernized society and (where appropriate) a good dose of American exceptionalism.

    Have you not been paying attention?

    Go back to the top of the page and see if you get the point of C0lo's journal entry.

      Sorry, I think the point of the journal is misguided with some UK issues group pushing a hysteria-generating narrative.

          Emptily complaining about it isn't going to change my mind. There's plenty of warning signs that this is just another issue group trolling for funding.

            Three facebook posts, to one khallow. Hmm, who to believe? Majority rules? This is a democracy, after all.
