Covid․gov now points to a ‘lab leak’ conspiracy website
The Trump administration continues pushing the lab leak theory.
That’s just wild. The one silver lining to T2 is that I’m not shocked by anything anymore. It’s still outrageous, but the surprise is gone.
You're viewing a single thread.
.... Is this the new age dark ages?
Yup.
I feel like I'm screaming, "help" at the top of a mountain, yet nobody can hear me. I feel like almost all online interactions are false. I feel like my day to day life is shrinking from country scale to community to household scale. This is where we are divided and we don't care for another, but only ourselves. Not out of greed, but out of perceived necessity. It's all fake.
I completely understand sometimes it feels like everyone has their head buried in the sand or worse is lapping up the misinformation without a second thought, living in a post truth society is truly hell for the analytical.
I'm with you. Corporations have figured out how to fully monetize the internet and information in general. Knowledge and education have been paywalled. What does filter through is manipulation and brainwashing in some form.
We're Doomed then
For the US maybe, but right now it seems like the wider world may survive.
I moderate the bad religion community (they have a song called The New Dark Ages). Its pretty bitchin. it was written during the W Bush presidency but their material get progressively more relevant as time goes on
“We’ve got the American Jesus. He helped build the President’s estate.”
One Nation, Under God
Such a good song. I have not thought about or listened to that song or album in at least a decade. Thanks for the reference to rekindle my fond memories. Time to go listen to some Bad Religion... :-)
They released a record called Age of Unreason during the first trump term. Its some of the strongest material of their career imo.
New Maps of Hell was pretty killer though
