We are embodying an interesting and threatening era that not only includes the unleashing of a merciless pandemic, unpredictable weather patterns that are getting deadlier by the minute, but also certifies the tragically definitive assurance that the truth as we knew it, will never matter.
We have be granted seamless access to the tool of our imminent destruction, and we are overdosing on the euphoria of being able to freely publish YouTube videos in response to the viral meal on a revolving menu.
As long as we have the devotion of numerous followers, who are attracted to the dialogue that favors their warped assessment of a hot-button issue, we can freely spin the facts in ways that satisfy nagging biases.
Nothing is off limits.
And nobody ever questions the validity of what’s being aggressively re-shared and reposted with intent to forcefully silence those who are adamant about reserving judgment for the much-needed facts.
Unfortunately, if you’re waiting for the miraculous arrival of “fact checkers” to promptly dispute and correct the pages of inaccuracies that are allowed to be clicked into existence by untrained and reckless editors, you will certainly be disappointed by the no-shows.
