    “The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed.”
    Hannah Arendt On the Origins of totalitarianism


    The west really has reached a new level of depravity when its media can lie so openly and with such absolute contempt for its audience and for the facts. It would be laughable if the historical precedents weren't so terrifying.
