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.
I might have to see if it takes off on QR and let the veterans do it.

EU Commission VP for Values and Transparency Vera Jourova threatened Elon Musk that he will be hit with "sanctions" if he allows free speech on Twitter.
"The time of the Wild West is over," Jourova told EuroNews while attending the World Economic Forum in Davos last week. "We will have the Digital Services Act [DSA]. We will have the Code of Practice as a part of this legislation.
"So, after Mr Musk took over Twitter with his 'freedom of speech absolutism,' we are the protectors of freedom of speech as well," she continued. "But at the same time, we cannot accept, for instance, illegal content online and so on. So, our message was clear: we have rules which have to be complied with, otherwise there will be sanctions."
Protecting free speech means banning "hate speech," Jourova said:
"How to push them to do things? We had some 'gentlemen's agreements,' like the Code of Conduct against Hate Speech, which was very important in 2016 when we saw an extreme rise of hatred online targeted to concrete people or groups of citizens."
"So, I always like to combine decent communication and discussion, and testing how far they can go under the framework of some sort of social responsibility."
Jourova also took part in a panel discussion at Davos last week where she predicted that the US will follow the EU and "soon" have laws to punish "illegal hate speech."

At the WEF annual meeting, the EU regulator threatens Twitter and Elon Musk with sanctions.
She is very unhappy about unapproved thoughts being expressed freely on Twitter.
Your thoughts are too dangerous for the EU bureaucrats to handle!
