Complacency of the population has a part in it certainly, but outdated and inept political system plays a big if not the main role as well. Look, in a binary system the reward: the power can come either with a record of great accomplishments and results, or just talking louder, waving hands and drawing more attention than your only, twin competitor. It's the ultimate stage and the environment to raise and nourish empty posturing politics. The twin buddies have to create superficial distinction, ghosts and shadows because in reality there's none: they are equally self-centered, entitled, ineffective have no interest in any meaningful change and long forgot how to make things happen as opposed to throwing buck at them and feed themselves in the process. That's it. Woke, anti-woke, kill the cap none of that has any rational basis, pure and sheer raising the specter of political contention where in fact there are only two incurably overweight fat-brained twin buddies at their permanent and forever, trough.

"Churchill and Roosevelt wars in Europe on fuzzy innocent Nazis". Define "lying". We know everything.

Decency exists; as lying and thuggery. Yes, there's a difference. As laid out right before our eyes.

Sanity exists. And it exists for every good reason. Now, there's not hard at all to see who has problems with the reason, integrity and sanity. In their own words. We know everything.

We have memory, the eyes, the reason, integrity and principles. They tell us everything. The only way to not know it is to forget and abandon our very nature: compassion; freedom and sanity itself.

You think brainless chaotic drumming is a coincidence? Maybe not. Maybe, they really have nothing else. This is the absolute best, all time and hands down.

Scary. And who initiated and advancing it?

We have to worship these lying idols because everyone and everything else is "bad". Anathema. The story never changes. But we have memory and the reason. And the choice is ours.

Yes there are those who will try to convince us that honesty, principles, reason are the things of the past, "delusional" in their words, right here. That the future is in handing our brains and dignity over to lying idols and worshiping them. None of this is new. It happened so many times in history, and always, invariably: with the same outcome. But we are here now. We have memory, the reason and the principles. We know and remember who we are, and why. And the choice is ours.

One needs to remember: this is not a show, no pageant, roll the dice, etc, popularity contest. It's not a game, exciting or boring anymore. These days now, it happens to be about the truth, the principles, the dignity and honor, the integrity and honesty and the reason. They exist; they exist for a reason. And they aren't going anywhere. There can be no compromising about the reason, integrity, truth and principles because one can part with them only at the price of losing essential part of oneself. This is not an option and has never been. So, it's clear: we have to stand with the truth, do all we can because this is all we can do and we have to do every bit and go every step. Then, the truth will decide if we've done enough. What would be other reasonable options?

There's nothing we didn't know here. Either nouveau riche egomaniac syndrome; or Vlad holds the bunch by something. What else, logically?

Hot p*ss of unlimited power into the egomaniac's brain? Musk has been in regular contact with Putin: a war criminal under international warrant and a full equivalent of Hitler today for two years (WSJ). Here's an obvious observation: Vlad never does anything that "peace lovers" ask of him; he hasn't moved an inch. It's them on the other hand who are de facto doing his bidding. So, who is the master and who playing pawns? Obvious. Factual. The number of zeroes doesn't make it right. Our ancestors knew. We would be run by mafia clans if they didn't know.

Just as Alberta government is pumping up airwaves with the let's burn it all away ads, the news is coming from a different part of the world: boreal forests may not be as reliable sinks of greenhouse gases as before possibly due to changes in temperature patterns (The Guardian). There's a scientific name for it: a positive feedback loop, when the effect begins feeding on itself and accelerates like an avalanche. But what is it to the populists? The difference for them is measured only in election cycles. There's a planet in our solar system where runaway greenhouse effect took hold and nothing lives there. The temperature at the surface is high enough to melt lead and zinc. Nobody needs to be frightened into or away from anything. But what could and probably will happen if we stop thinking and take lying fairy tales for the truth we want to hear? Venus knows. And we can find it out too. Lying tales can be pleasing to hear. But they make not a speck of a difference to the laws of nature.

Telling isn't it? He has nothing to say so dumb laugh is the only option. But we knew everything here: no revelations and zero surprises.

Roosevelt and Churchill's wars on innocent cute Nazis are anathema! Let's run to hug with Hitlers to avoid WWXX!! Liars will lie. Traitors will betray. And we know the consequences. This time around, we knew everything.

Because: what would be the options? That's like the definition of "desperate" plus: totally, absolutely void of any values or principles. Can it be any simpler?

That connection is quite obvious, in the light of just quoted.

Right. Play dumb. Pretend it never happened. Like there are many other options. "You won't have to vote again - it'll be all fixed".

"Right" is the key word here. Remember "you won't have to vote again"? Not that there's anything we didn't know.

Reason, truth, honesty, principles, integrity, responsibility, honor: they exist. They exist for a reason and we remember that.

There are no respectable reasons or causes for turning off one's brain and handing it over. Back in the old times folks could claim naivete, ignorance absence of knowledge or education. No such escapes now. Information at our fingertips. We knew everything. So it's down to the choice. The brain existed for a reason. Reason, truth, reality, principles, integrity, responsibility: they all exist.

What didn't we know? John Kelly: Donald Trump praised Hitler while in office “He commented more than once that, you know, that Hitler did some good things, too,” Kelly said.

Surprises? Where? John Kelly: Donald Trump praised Hitler while in office “He commented more than once that, you know, that Hitler did some good things, too,” Kelly said. We knew everything, no way around it.

As said and demonstrated repeatedly, no need to go far: abandoning reason, and thinking itself is the only way the lying bunch could hope for a future. The history repeats itself: anyone literate and with a bit of a working memory can recall examples of shameless and unhinged assault on the reality with the purpose nothing less than making alternative ones. There couldn't be any surprises here. And won't be.

You can't choose to be dumb, let go of thinking and responsibility and keep the democracy, both and at the same time. One is absolutely free to choose either. But no fairy tale or lie could cancel the consequences. Good that we knew.
