On a dull return from somewhere
I found myself enveloped in a lengthy discussion
Bordering on debate, as to the truth behind
The coveted emerald curtain
Emboldened by my own self-righteous
Contemplations excised from years of wandering
I set forth, feet firmly planted
On the slippery slope of the high ground
Balancing the even higher horse I am
Prepared to climb upon at a moment’s notice
A verbal assault of regurgitated nonsensical proverbial
Bile, fed to us by the self-proclaimed intellectuals
Screaming down a winding road, choking and blinding
The drinkers of the poisoned well, before coming
To rest at the bottom, adding to the heaping pile of shit
That we are all inevitably barreling toward
Great prose I must say, well written. 🙌👏👏

This is why I’ve given up trying to hit people with the woke stick – all it does is create resentment and cause people to become further entrenched in their beliefs. Hopefully people will be able to move on after 45’s term is over and rediscover some sort of unity.

Ha! My favorite part is how many political science and infectious disease experts so many people have suddenly become.

I’m not an infectious disease expert, but I do manufacture pharmaceuticals and I am expert enough at that to say the new vaccines are SO FUCKING COOL. Also that FDA approval is serious stuff (have to deal with them in the industry, so I know it’s intense), and I would trust their stamp of approval.

I think I will wait for the MSM and Twitter to tell me what I’m supposed to think. Seriously though, if some people are able to be saved, then I am happy.

Only those who had managed to shed the layers of veils within their minds through extreme disillusionment can rise above the propaganda machinery of the intellectuals, experts and philosophers.

I agree with you completely. It’s a full on propaganda war. The “real” war is no longer fought with guns and bombs, but with information.

It’s the cyber war of misinformation waged against the unthinking people who are vulnerable to brainwashing mechanism. It’s easy to manipulate the way people perceive the world because they are dependent upon the artificial stimuli fed into their subconscious mind.
