Someone in the comments on yesterday’s post said, “It is really had to accept, but we are ruled by a gang of retards.” I think that is a good summary of the age. Americans are struggling to come to terms with the fact that our system does not work as advertised and it may not work at all because the credentialed people running it are too dumb to do it. They are good at gaming the system, but they are not good at doing anything useful to keep the system running.
You see it in the crime stats story that I cover toward the end of the show. We can no longer rely on the crime figures because the people reporting the figures are too stupid to do the basic tasks required to get accurate numbers and they are too dishonest to do it even if they had the brains to work the knobs and levers of the reporting mechanism. That last part is critical. Even knowing that the numbers are now junk, they will shamelessly claim that crime is improving.
That is the thing that will eventually break the system. There is a limit as to how much lying a population can tolerate before it reaches a breaking point. Everything is a lie in America. Lying has become the coin of the realm. Even when the truth would be the best course, these people will produce an outlandish lie to tell. At some point, people just get so sick of the lying they begin to hate the system that selects for these outlandish liars.
You see some of this happening with the Israel – Gaza war. Much of the anti-Israel pushback I see on Twitter is in response to the lying. People see the images of destroyed apartment blocks and then a pro-Israel shill responds with blatant lies about October 7th that have been debunked a dozen times, as if there can ever be a justification for deliberately blowing up civilians. The pro-Israel lie machine is having the exact opposite effect that is intended.
