Feminism/ Trump Election/ Suffering/ News

“Feminism’s latest victory: the right to get your limbs blown off in war. Congratulations.”

. “Trump’s election wasn’t about Trump. It was a throbbing middle finger in the face of America’s ruling class. It was a gesture of contempt, a howl of rage, the end result of decades of selfish and unwise decisions made by selfish and unwise leaders. Happy countries don’t elect Donald Trump president. Desperate ones do. In retrospect, the lesson seemed obvious: Ignore voters for long enough and you get Donald Trump.”

“Countries can survive war and famines and disease. They cannot survive leaders who despise their own people.”

“Suffering does amazing things to people, they become very different in a very short period of time, in many cases, they get a lot wiser an a lot braver and become very much more worth listening to.”

“You often hear people say the news is full of lies. But most of the time that’s not exactly right. Much of what you see on television or read in The New York Times is in fact true in the literal sense, But that doesn’t make it true. It’s not true. At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie. A lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.”
