As long as we know the truth is being hidden from us and often aggressively criminalized, and as long as we know they’ll feed us lies and manipulations whenever it’s convenient, intense skepticism is the only rational position to hold.

One major problem with media literacy is that everyone is taught to watch out for liberal bias and conservative bias, but nobody is taught to watch out for US empire bias.

Two things are clear:

1. It would be completely irrational and insane for the US to go to war with China.

2. The US is plainly preparing to go to war with China.

These two points can appear contradictory, but only if you first assume that the US empire is rational and sane.

What the fuck is going on in DC?
"There is now open talk in Washington about a potential war with China, and soon. To take just one example…Reps Mike Waltz (R-FL) and Jason Crow (D-CO) spoke as if a war with China is highly probable, even guaranteed."https://t.co/o9FwyVo6KP

They’re rapidly surrounding China with war machinery, and Biden’s pick for the nation’s top military position wants to escalate this. What does that look like to you?

The only two political views you’re allowed to have are (A) the US should rule the world with an iron fist and the biosphere should be fed into the insatiable mouth of capitalism or (B) the US should rule the world with an iron fist and the biosphere should be fed into the insatiable mouth of capitalism, but racistly.

Capitol Hill is an assisted living facility for psychopaths. It’s where people who receive sexual gratification from dropping military explosives on civilians go to wait for the sweet embrace of death. The whole place smells like night terrors and urine.

Does it not seem odd to anyone else how it appears we are being drip-fed the mainstream UFO narrative in steadily stranger increments? In 2017 it was “yeah there’s these craft and we don’t know what they are but haha we’re not saying it’s aliens hahaha,” then later it was “oh yeah they could totally be aliens because we don’t have that kind of tech,” now it’s “they’re extraterrestrial or extradimensional beings and our government is hiding their dead bodies and reverse engineering UFOs and they definitely pose a national security threat”.

I mean, if you wanted to pace the public from “aliens and UFOs are ridiculous tinfoil hat nonsense” to “aliens and UFOs are real and the government needs to do something about them,” I can’t imagine it looking much different from what it’s looked like between 2017 and 2023.
