...each one perfectly tailored to fit someone’s worldview.
"Propaganda has always existed. In ancient times, a town crier would climb on a stump and deliver whatever the ruler decreed. But at least everyone heard the same lies. Now we each get custom-fitted delusions, perfectly calibrated to our psychological profile.
"The algorithm has become our leash, and we mistake the length of chain for freedom.
"[Every customized opinion] belongs to someone who considers himself well-informed, rational, and awake to what’s really happening. Each one thinks the others are deluded, manipulated, or evil. Each one has evidence that supports his worldview. Each one feels like the protagonist in his own story.
"They can’t all be right. But they can all be wrong."

“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the (revolutionary) Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy…”
–George Orwell, 1984
Christian Britain has been gone a long time. But the Crown finally held a funeral, bestowing King Charles, earlier "The Defender of the Faith," a new royal title: “Protector of the Space for Faith within the Multi-faith Nation.”
A world-historical societal transformation is taking place before our very eyes, and yet few have taken notice. Britain, the erstwhile leader of the Western world and the foundation and source of English-speaking civilization, is in its last days as a free society, and will soon become an Islamic state. Yet despite the mountains of evidence that this transformation is taking place, many will still deny that it is happening at all. They may not even admit it when it overtakes them personally.
“I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it. But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”
Argentinian President Javier Milei
