It’s hard being almost 40 on the internet right now.
I understand not caring about politics in your 20’s but you can’t ignore the state of the world anymore, or at least I can’t.
I don’t have an Obama centered black out curtain of the American flag draped over my eyes anymore.
And it’s so hard to figure out who or what to trust.
Like I just saw a video saying Vladimir Putin is in the Epstein files as someone who tried to save kids from the island and banned Americans from adopting Russian children.
I mean that doesn’t give him a free pass for everything else he’s done or rather, everything else I’ve been programmed to think he’s done but man if even the assumed mortal enemy of your country is really one of the good guys what the fuck else is going on? You mean I can’t blindly believe when people say these things but instead I have to add scrutiny and nuance to every talking point?
Fuck me sideways this is really fucking infuriating.
I’m glad that there are people with more fortitude than me, going through the Epstein files and creating tools to check information quickly, but what the fuck would I even search? And to make things worse all the files haven’t been released! I lm crazy enough as it is I don’t need to get any crazier.
At the end of the day I just wish I was living in the capital of the evil empire, but I suppose the world is shaped the way it is so that if you even thought about trying to establish yourself somewhere else you’d realize what an uphill battle it would actually be.
This fucking sucks.
