I came to that same realization a while ago and it's super depressing. Like, we have already hit a point where the truth matters so little. No one will accept evidence unless it comes from their in group. Everything else is fake. Confirmation bias is rampant and I don't see our dismal education standards turning that around any time soon.
I remember a time when every day our letter carrier would bring us another AOL compact disc. It was incredible, there were AOL CDs littering the streets, crushed rainbow shards promising to connect you to the world.
Hahaha same! I started asking every person I know about it because I was so curious. Like, that can't be real, you can't see stuff. But everyone I know seems to have some level of actual visualization except me. And I am an okay artist, just need references and a lot of trial & error when drawing.
It IS crazy but please take John Brown's final words to heart:
"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done."
We are repeating history and that man was an enemy of any rational or empathetic souls left in this country. I took the warnings of others seriously before watching the footage, as it is indeed awful. But that man would have been happy to watch me die. Knowing that, I can't pretend it doesn't feel good to see a threat neutralized.
We have our own hissy sissy right now trying to ignore the 1 year old kitten brothers. Our long gone Orange stray took 14 years to sit on my lap, but then I got three years of constant lap attention. Cats are so stubborn.
Honestly, when I read stories like these I have started to root for a swift and sudden end to the world. It has begun to appear more palatable than the slow unraveling of society and boiling alive while thirsty.
