I wonder what percentage of the (broadly defined) "content" we see nowadays is basically kayfabe: people trying to come up with something that'll make a fuss, but that they don't fundamentally believe or even really care about. I bet it's really high. like, "not ideal for a functioning society" high

Concerns over fake phenomena cannot be held in good faith. There's no such thing as "good faith" concern over razorblades in Halloween apples or vaccines causing autism. If you still have 'concerns' about these issues you are uninformed, a bigot or being manipulated. No other option.

Let me tell you, having chronicled Pentagon-style war game on attacking Iran nearly 25 yr ago, every single "surprise," "darkening turn," "narrowing option," spreading warfare," "rising casualties," "no easy exit," etc that comes drip-by-drip is EXACTLY why GHWB WJC GWB OBAMA BiDEN did NOT do this

From page full of headlines about things going to hell in Iran.

for any actual public servant, cabinet secretary is the apex of their entire career, you literally cannot go any higher, and all of these people treat it like it’s their side hustle to get the job they *really* want, which is “influencer”

All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.
