I'm going all Fox Mulder. I dont trust anything anymore.

I don't trust the news.
I certainly don't trust the politicans.
You can't trust photos anymore
Even video is suspect.
Makes it hard to be objective.
At this point I dont even trust the data.
Even the science is suspect.

Everyone, on all sides has an agenda. All I want is the truth...

EVERYTHING these days is shit, and has a motive. This was the Radical Left plan, embraced later by Corporate Marketing.

There is no escape.

One of the biggest redpills I got was learning the NFL and individual teams were being paid by the Pentagon to do those "Soldier-Family Reunification" events. Even though it cost them nothing and got them immense goodwill. Yet today, the NFL promotes BLM bullshit AND gives THEM money.

Shit used to be made to make sure it "played in Peoria". Now it's made to piss off Peoria.

My first reaction when I hear any mainstream media news is instant suspicion.

They can say there’s a 60% chance of rain today and I will consider that its not true. That’s how bad it’s gotten with the media hate and agenda.

Just to be clear I don't trust the far right either. Its all suspect. All of it.

Having no shared reality will tear us apart. Maybe that is the point, or maybe it is just some self-serving media companies mongering around for a few bucks.
Matt Taibbi has written a lot on the subject of the degeneration of media into little specialized echo chambers making NO attempt to supply objective truth to their audiences. I try to check myself all the time for cognitive bias from the narrative that I am supplied. It is very difficult.

I haven’t actually trusted anyone maybe forever.
I’m annoying to some people, especially dimwits who talk to me.
It’s a very old pattern for me.
I can recall in kindergarten we were given giant crayons and a huge piece of paper.
“Draw a place.”
I started drawing a beach.
“Use the yellow crayon.”
“No. Beaches are not yellow.”
I guess she was not accustomed to back talking from a 5 year old.
I actually watched the twilight zone soon after, which may have also sewn the seeds of doubt for “conventional wisdom.”

I think America is torn apart as it has lost common purpose.
I still believe that it will come back strongly.
Lefties and fascists won’t survive for long.

Warm Room Pandemic is saying Dems are now working to have Newsmax, Americas Voice, and OANN to be removed from cable companies and streaming devices.

When you have too much diversity, you can't have a common purpose by definition of the very word "Diversity"

Wait until globalists make whole world uniform.

This place certainly plays into my cognative bias... the majority of you lean right far Moreno than I. But just like when this was mostly a housing bubble site, the narrative were being given doesn't jive with reality as I know it. Logic demands we think critically about each but of information we're given.

No, we always have a shared reality.

What all you people are panicking over, is you are waking from your bullshit dream. It's been this way for 20 fucking years. Find that weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq yet? Finally, the MAJORITY of the people are recognizing that their "news" media isn't news - it's propaganda. Yes, I know it's disorienting, but I went through this in the 1990s. Takes a good long time to reorient yourself once you realize you're being propagandized and lied to.

Except in the Simulation.

The search for truth is something philosophers have debated for years, but in my world facts matter. Truth does exist. Just as right and wrong exist. Part of how we got into this mess is the denying the reality of reality itself.
