a beautiful quote by St. Augustine. unfortunately, that lion would be shot dead by assassins and devoured by hyenas, both on the global capitalist parasites' payrolls, in short order.

I’m sorry to say, but that sounds excessively “Boomerish.” Caitlin and a good bunch of others are doing a good job speaking the truth and developing their own independent platforms. More is being done everyday, and everyone needs to raise their game, intellectually, spiritually, and creatively.

I think the bigger problem is all the “black-pilled” folks and blind conspiracy theorists who just keep thinking everything is going perfectly according to plan, that nothing can be done, corruption etc…

Then they call themselves “realists.” The reality is things are not going just according to plan for the Borgs.

The “realists” need to put their thinking caps back on. In reality, the Olympians are very good at overestimating their intelligence and very good at underestimating the creativity of individuals and humanity generally. They are misanthropes, they disdain everyday people, and that makes them blind to many things.

I recommend reading Aeschylus’ “Prometheus Bound.”

the "truth" has always been clear to everyone who cares. but the "reality" hasn't changed fundamentally. that's why Putin had to do what he did. not sure what your point is. trust me, i've done too much reading and thinking already.

You wrote: "the 'truth' has always been clear to everyone who cares."

I don't think that's true.

We're part of a much longer story, and the next chapters aren't yet written. There are boundary conditions, but how things are actually going to unfold is still undecided.

People have to make a decision.

the "truth" is not something you discover by physically removing a cover every minute. social-historical "truth" doesn't change because time passes. we can only agree to disagree on what we mean by truth.
