Tucker Carlson has told $787,000,000 worth of lies.
Alex Jones has told over $1,500,000,000 worth of lies.
Both these men still have a platform.
Both these men still have an audience.
Both these men still have people who believe their bullshit.
Stop for a minute and think about that. The sheer level of reality denial required to associate either of these men with anything even remotely resembling even the small elemantal particle of truth. Suicide bombers are neither this stupid nor fanatical, as while the existence of an afterlife has never been proven, it has yet to be disproven either. That these two men are incapable of telling the truth if their lives depended on it has been proven on innumerable occasions. It has been proven in the court of law. Their inability to deal with proven facts is a proven fact.
However, I do not say that is an undeniable fact because clearly there are people who will deny it. People who will ignore every bit of sensory input that their bodies can convey to cling to a belief that contradicts empirical reality.
This is the power of
COPIUM. So long as you are selling the myth that every failure in someone's life, every bad decision, ever consequence of their own stupidity is somehow someone else's fault, they will believe you and give you money.
The 1st Rule of Capitalism is that "Nothing that generates a profit can ever be truly destroyed."
The 2nd Rule of Capitalism is that "So long as there is a demand, someone will create a supply."
People want their copium. They want to be lied to. To be babied, pampered, and told that everything that they've done to ruin their own lives isn't really their fault. It's all the fault of those people over there. Feed the hate. By my book. Like and subscribe. These two wastes of oxygen provide it, and even if they both fell over dead of heart attacks today then two more grifters would show up to take their place before their bodies got cold.
They are not the cause, they are the effect. They didn't create the problem, they merely capitalized on it. And it will not change, ever. The majority of people are idiots. Democracies vote based on the majority. Thus our leaders are idiots. Leaders reward people who vote for them, i.e. idiots.
Thus stupidity is rewarded and intelligence punished. No tyrant, no dictator, no oppressive regime could ever come close to matching the level of social mental degredation that we are inflicting upon ourselves. Intelligence is now feared & reviled because intelligence, reality and the people who live in it, are a threat to the copium high. It's like trying to steal a needle from an junkie. You'll get stabbed.
The only solution that I can invision is to just move away. Have everyone who's brain isn't a polished glass move to one state and lock the borders to keep out the morons. Let them just die out from their own stupidity and inability to deal with reality and then repopulate afterward. Turn their monster truck arenas into libraries after they've all gone extinct from genetic decay after marrying their own sisters for five generations. I don't know. Something. But trying to fix them is impossible. Trying to heal them is impossible. They are a lost cause. There is no hope for them. Write them off, they're done for. They're going to keep huffing that copium, those conspiracy theories and their horse pills until they're all dead. Nature is still self-correcting that way, if only we allow it to be and not try to get in the way of natural selection.
