I SAW SOMEONE ON TIKTOK TALKING ABOUT HOW "WE CAN'T EVEN AGREE ON FACTS ANYMORE" WITH THE IMPLICATION BASED ON THE SPEAKERS AGE THAT THIS IS ALL NEW, FROM THE 21ST CENTURY...
MY COMMENT, WHICH I WILL REPEAT HERE IS THIS:
ASK A BOOMER ABOUT THE VIETNAM WAR. BETTER YET ASK A DOZEN BOOMERS SEPARATELY ABOUT IT.
THEN GO READ THE REAL HISTORY OF THE WAR AND TELL ME THAT LIVING IN ALTERNATE REALITIES WITH ALTERNATE "FACTS" IS NEW!
THE FAKE WORLDS ARE EASIER TO SEE THROUGH NOW, NOT HARDER!
IT JUST SEEMS MORE FAKE BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THE FAKENESS!
LET US NOT FALL PREY TO THE "MAKE [LITERALLY ANYTHING ABOUT THE WORLD] GREAT AGAIN" RHETORIC!
OUR WORLD, AS FAKE AS IT IS, IS FAR LESS FAKE THAN THE ONE THE BOOMERS GREW UP IN!
THAT'S WHY THE SPOUT LIES ALL THE TIME!
WE LIVE IN A FAKE WORLD!
EVERY DAY!
ALL FAKE!
BUT NOW WE CAN SEE IT!
AND WE CAN BUILD NEW WORLDS!
WE CAN BUILD WORLDS WORTH LIVING IN!
