the world’s slackening grip on reality

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.

    Because I don't want to make a bunch of enemies all at once :^P
    Arguing with deluded people almost never works. I've tried, oh god I've tried. It's futile. They usually get angry and decide you're the one in the wrong immediately after, even if you were only trying to help.
    I know that from personal experience arguing with people with things ranging from schizophrenia to dementia, and personal experience with OCD.
