    lol. like i need to be educated on what manufactured consent is. look kid, you can choose to disbelieve credited media outlets. i just stop giving a shit what you think once you show a disregard for subjective truth.

      look kid

      I’m old enough to join AARP.

      subjective truth

      Perhaps that was just a Freudian slip, or perhaps you’re a member of the reality-based community.

      The [G. W. Bush] aide said that [journalists] like me were ‘in what we call the reality-based community,’ which he defined as people who ‘believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.’ […] ‘That’s not the way the world really works anymore,’ he continued. ‘We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do’

        derp! that was totally a slip. no, no. please no more subjective truth until it comes down to morality, in which case i’ll believe whatever i want. but i do form my opinions based on objective reality.
