Sounds like a smart kid who’s learning to think for himself, rather than just blindly follow the lamestream media’s Official Narrative.

It’s always great to have a new reader John! I hope you continue to enjoy it. 🙂

Your comment reminds me of what I was going to write about yesterday, but forgot. I can’t remember if there’s a tweet there about it. The young boy c. 11-12 I think who wanted to wear an FNN (based on CNN logo where F stands for Fake) t-shirt on a school trip to CNN. The school said no, and the parents are complaining about their son’s freedom of speech being violated. It’s like religion. The parents have already brainwashed this kid into thinking CNN is fake news and only Fox is the truth. It’s scary.

We have no idea what the micro-plastic debacle will ultimately produce. We’ve only started studying the phenomenon, but common sense indicates a future catastrophe. What with climate-change and plastic-pollution and other forms of pollution humanity’s future looks grim. Another reminder that my wife and I made a good decision not to have kids.

Re. FOX and the mental-state of America. I’ve read many anecdotes about people’s parents who have become victims of FOX (mine are also victims). Millions of Americans no longer believe anything outside FOX’s propaganda bubble and this insanity has broken families and friends apart. My parents only watch FOX for their “news”, and their political world-view is entirely misconceived. They believe in the stupidest shit (like all the Clinton hysteria/birtherism); last year my mom called Nancy Pelosi “a bitch” for fighting to keep Obamacare (she’s a bitch for trying to save lives?); neither of my parents accept anything that doesn’t fit with the FOX narrative. To add insult to injury, they are also “born-again” Christians, so even before FOX was created, their mentality was wired for extreme credulity. No wonder Republicans will vote for a child molester instead of a very qualified Democratic candidate down in Alabama. FOX news has millions of Americans covering their ears and saying nah,nah,nah anytime they hear something they don’t like. For them, fake news is the real news and real news is fake news. It’s really scary to see how well propaganda can manipulate the masses whether they are intelligent or not. And it is so successful that Americans actually choose to be misinformed and manipulated. We’re not like Russia or N. Korea where FOX would be the only (state-run) news outlet. FOX inculcates a vast Kruger-Dunning effect upon its viewers. This is a big reason why the die-hard Trump followers (they are more “followers” than “supporters”) are more like cultists than normal thinking people (as shown in the video of the 1-year-after deluded followers).
