When last we saw Calvin he was happy as a lark,
oblivious to the fact he was about to walk straight into reality.
Reality is that strange realm were life becomes a series of one tough lesson after another.
And reality, well, like truth, a lot of people prefer to ignore it until it they can no longer get around it.
At which point it’s sometimes too late to deal with it effectively.
It seems that there are now a few people on the team that’s worked diligently to bury reality for years who have recently had the wool removed from their eyes. All of a sudden they’ve found that reality is blocking their path. People such as Glenn Greenwald:
Journalists, Learning They Spread a CIA Fraud About Russia, Instantly Embrace a New One. The most significant Trump-era alliance is between corporate outlets and security state agencies, whose evidence-free claims they unquestioningly disseminate.
And Matt Taibbi:
The Sovietization of the American Press. The transformation from phony "objectivity" to open one-party orthodoxy hasn't been an improvement.
Even Bill Maher is whining about cancel culture and media propaganda these days.
Maher: Shouldn't Liberal Media Have To Answer For Making The Audience Believe A "Bunch Of Crap About COVID?" But when all of our sources for medical information have an agenda to spin us, yeah, you wind up with a badly misinformed population including on the left.
While none of them are on our side ideologically it does make one nostalgic for the olden days when our opponents had a grasp on and respect for truth, and reality – two mandatory prerequisites for actually solving problems instead of just taxing and whining about them. It’s not much, but at least it’s a start
Once your balloon pops reality comes at you awfully fast. Perhaps a few more people will begin to notice the great misdirection that has plunged our country into chaos, debt and ultimately serfdom if we don’t reverse it.
The preoccupation is not an accident, it’s the design
