94. I've long given up on the idea that enough people give a fuck one way or the other...
...to make a difference. And this always has and always will allow official lies and cover ups to stand as the generally accepted, consensus "reality;" the preferred version of reality that naturally doesn't cast the Team Captains, and team players in a ghastly, incriminating light. It makes perfect sense that people would seek that comfortable position.

Do I think 9/11 was an inside job. Absolutely.

Do I think the holocaust occurred? Absolutely.

Are there people who will fight and argue endlessly in support of a contrary view re either of those atrocities? Absolutely.

Do I give a fuck about that? Absolutely not.

This country is a text book example of cultural indoctrination, and the manufacture of consent. Everything about it is a sham, a phony, a synthetic, a cheap, illusory substitute. Nothing will ever change that, and for the bulk of the citizenry, they'll simply go on, as they always have, perceiving their govt and their country, and its place in the world, in the exact opposite terms of what it actually is and represents. Little I can do about that. And more precisely, why should I give a fuck otherwise?
