Jokes on you I never look at televisions.

In this post I will examine the social and political condition we inhabit. A strange combination of fantasy and force, which replaces reality with alibis, it is a total system of contagious aversion to the world as it is.

This is the empire of lies. A topsy-turvy world, where the product always contradicts the packaging. As we shall see, it seeks to banish reality from every dimension it dominates, from the personal to the political at state level - and beyond.

We inhabit the slow motion collapse of this refuge from disenchantment, which cannot survive contact with reality.
