Your Sigh Of Relief Is Grounded In Delusion: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Ahh at long last the United States of America is returning to normality: the hub of a globe-spanning empire which rings the planet with military bases and destroys any nation which disobeys it while propagandizing the entire world into supporting its murderousness, without rude tweets.

Joe Bidens inauguration will be a huge relief for people who are not actually affected by United States government policy.

United States of Americans want to believe Donald Trump was uniquely evil among recent presidents because they want to believe their government will become significantly less evil when he leaves.

This is delusional and harmful.

The only way to find Donald Trumps presidency remarkably awful is to (A) greatly diminish the scale of George Bush and Barack Obamas crimes and (B) believe foreign lives do not matter. Saying Donald Trump was the worst president, even since the turn of this century, is saying that you are a shitty person.

Donald Trump was a United States president of fairly average depravity surrounded by an ocean of influential narrative managers LARPing about treason and sedition for four years.

So many Donald Trumpers told me he would free Julian Assange. They were 100% certain Donald Trump was going to get re-elected, drain the swamp, end the wars, and free Julian Assange. He did none of these things. If this is you, please overhaul your worldview and drastically change your media consumption habits.

Arguing that Donald Trump wanted to pardon Julian Assange but Republicans threatened him is just saying Donald Trump wanted to fight the establishment but the establishment told him no.

It is so crazy how the State Department has been led by a man who is even more evil and disgusting than Donald Trump, and now that man is leaving office without the mass media having given him any critical attention at all.

I have not yet figured out how so many United States of Americans manage the cognitive balance of simultaneously (A) thinking their country is the center of the universe and (B) thinking it odd that foreigners would have opinions about their country.

Super excited for the United States of America to finally get rid of its racist corrupt right-wing asshole of a president, hopefully by sometime in the next four to eight years.

It is easy to applaud Martin Luther King Jr. when he is dead, when he exists as a legend and you do not have to meet any of his imperfections and controversies. If you want to know if you would have supported Mr. King back in his day, do not look at Mr. King. Look at whether or not you support Julian Assange.

Julian Assange has provided many explosive revelations about the malfeasance of the powerful, but none so explosive as the revelation that the United States and its allies will imprison and torture a journalist for exposing United States war crimes.

Just tell the truth. Just tell the truth.

You will never out-manipulate a manipulator, either in personal relationships or politics. You can not "capitalize on" this or "leverage" that; they will beat you every time. In the battle against the manipulators, truth is our only weapon.

I see socialist groups get behind this or that mainstream liberal agenda like "Hey we can ride the momentum of this to socialist revolution!" No you can not you sweet precious lamb. You are swimming with sharks. They will take everything you put in and then let you have nothing.

When you are not a manipulator it is hard to understand how much better at manipulation a manipulator is than you. They are SO much better. If you are a truth teller then you need to drag the battle kicking and screaming into truth like a BJJ black belt taking the fight to the ground.

You are not going to out-manipulate a globe-spanning empire that is backed by billionaires and powerful intelligence agencies. It will not happen. We make it a battle of truth versus truth, or we lose.
