Unfortunately, my boss doesn't give a shit that I'm feeling like it would be prudent to take a month off in an effort to make sense of recent events. And it would take me more than a month straight of 15 hour days of research to feel like I had any sort of handle on an objective truth.

Nobody knows what's real anymore, and I'm past the point of blaming people for parroting militarized talking points. Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing the same thing, and it becomes very difficult to discern when it is happening. We've all been deceived many times over, and the ride is far from finished.

I've said it elsewhere, sorry to repeat myself, but I want people to evaluate how truthful they perceive this statement to be:

    I think we are very clearly in a civil war, of sorts. The battlefield is public opinion, and the weaponry is information. The noise has long since drowned out the signal. I'm not really sure what happens next.
