This is long article. It is from The Atlantic. It is written by a leftist. I feel compelled to share it though. It starts out like the author is based and gets it but devolves into muh qanon. Even with that though, I think we all relate to what is being said. Basically the world is a stage is what it boils down too. People's (normies) need for entertainment and distraction. Inability to see/think.

Anyway, I found it insightful. I also, usually, have discernment and read between lines.

Example of article: "And the success came in part because the January 6 committee so ably turned its findings into compelling TV. The committee summoned well-spoken and, in many cases, telegenic witnesses. It made a point of transforming that day’s chaos into a comprehensive plot. Its production was so successful that The New York Times included the hearings on its list of 2022’s best TV shows."

Muh qanon part of article:

The origins of the QAnon conspiracy theory are convoluted, and its ongoing appeal has a range of explanations. But it has thrived, at least in part, because it is so well suited to the metaverse. Its adherents have filter-bubbled and siloed and red-pilled themselves so completely that they live in a universe of fiction; they trust, above all, in the anonymous showrunner who is writing and directing and producing reality, every once in a while dropping tantalizing clues about what might happen in the next episode. The hero of the show is Donald Trump, the man who has mastered, like perhaps no one else in American history, TV’s powers of manipulation. Its villains are the members of the “deep state,” thousands of demi-humans united in their pedophiliac designs on America’s children.
