Dissolving Delusions

Fearless Poison Drinker and delusion destroyer Caitlin Johnstone nails it again, unsurprisingly.

So, for all those who smugly self-congratulate for their sacrifices on the Imperial altar of “Democracy” while sneering at those of us trying to point out the obvious, go ahead and keep playing with your toy steering wheel while the empire managers drive the car off the cliff.

The US empire has been marching along in exactly the same way it was before Biden took office, completely unhindered by the fact that the person who’s supposedly calling the shots is in a state of degenerative neurological free-fall.”

In Which the Earnest Philosopher is Waylaid upon his Course by Reflections on “Rugged Individualism”

February 23, 2024February 26, 2024
