All this goes a long way toward explaining the “am I crazy?” problem. Going back years now, even pre-COVID, it’s been a common experience to read the news, see what passes for “public opinion,” wonder if everybody else actually thinks this, and then wonder, “am I crazy?”

All this goes a long way toward explaining the “am I crazy?” problem. Going back years now, even pre-COVID, it’s been a common experience to read the news, see what passes for “public opinion,” wonder if everybody else actually thinks this, and then wonder, “am I crazy?”
As it happens, the answer to “am I crazy?” is “no.” The whole thing was one giant ball of manufactured consent, and, what’s worse, we paid for it. Still, as shocking as that is, there’s one upside: now, we get to see what happens when the money dries up.
We are not crazy, our culture and society IS. I tuned out years ago to "normal" society. I watch from the fringes, while also being in the middle of it (corporate job, etc.). It is very difficult being surrounded by delusional Woke Jacobin Marxists who love their jab and as a result are sick every 2 months. I quit that job though and am free. The future is wide open. No more of that b.s. for me.
I have certainly been thinking this way, and I’ve seen this at work, too. But now I am wondering just how much of the problem actually IS with our culture and society. There are lots of people who buy all this nonsense on their own, of course, but much of what we thought was “culture” appears to have been Paid Promotional Material. So maybe it’s a lot more normal out there than we were led to believe. Could it be so?
JHK has been talking about the lack of a common culture for years. I do not comprehend the USA ever “healing” without a common culture. All we will generate are haters, like so many on this blog.
Yes! The real situation with the anarchists and their mentor, Soros. is they are just waiting for any excuse. They are progressive Leftists. And they are violent and amorale, a bad combination.

I'm sure it's a bit of everything, yes. Our culture has tanked.

I don’t think my city (MPLS) would have burned for three days if USAID wasn’t involved.
I saw the same in PDX. It was clear that there was money and organization behind those riots. Still kind of hard to believe all that really happened.
