    I’m not saying you should believe everything the media or government says, just that the specific lies they choose to tell holds valuable information about their motives, sponsors, allies, etc…

    You are asking to be spoon fed the truth. I’m saying that if you learn to refine the truth, propaganda begins to have the opposite of its intended effect.

      I’m sorry, I’m reading back over that message and it came off at least twice as harsh as was intended. My fury should be directed towards others and it accidentally spilled onto you. I came at you a little sideways and I regret the tone.

      There is, of course, value in hearing the lies from the horse’s mouth

        Given the state of the world, rage is kind of default right now. I don’t take it personally. I just hope we can all learn to channel it productively without resorting to the violence these jokers seem to be baiting us towards.
