The public is being shown just enough to know the truth, and to understand that nothing is going to happen.

    With all that’s going on, this is having some profound effects on my mental health. I rarely suffer from imposter syndrome now because I can compare my competency with them. If that shit show can be in charge of a country then my worries of discovery are nonexistent.

    I thought myself a generally bad person from just not volunteering or anything, I mostly provide monetary assistance to friends who have a hard period. Now, I’m a veritable saint in comparison.

    Your average person would think I reprehensible for wanting to just dispose and depose all the wealthy as well as powerful. Now, I can point that one person has literally been a puppeteer all along in all the horrible things that have happened.

      It’s because what you see on TV/media is bullshit and it 100% conditions your perception of societal norms.

      An easy example is a TV show like friends where young people assume adults just get to hang out and meet their friends all the time.

      Reality makes no sense and it doesn’t fit a “bucket”. Terrible people can work in altruistic roles. Idiots can work at what you’d think are smart office jobs.
