The State as a source of disinformation. .....recent years have seen its acceleration - first during the Covid pandemic,
now .....supercharged in the US as state institutions themselves become distributors.

Dear Humans,

Trump is in a full out panic. He hasn’t posted in 24 hours. It’s time to make him the pedophile formerly known as president. If you could do that God would be so happy.

Love,

Religions can just fuck off. They're responsible for more strife, suffering and human rights violations in the world than any other means of controlling the masses.

Catholicism, Evangelicals, Islamists, Zionists, budism.....; the world would be better off without the lot of them.

Everyone thinks they will be the exception.

Serious illness or disability won’t happen to them and IF it does, they will be able to afford it.

The reality is it only takes one catastrophic event to change your life, especially in a country that doesn’t guarantee healthcare for all.
