None of this would be happening if the people with the economic and political decision-making power in our country were weren’t bank rolling it.
They are the people that set the moral tone for the nation, one that valorizes each individual seeking mastery in a world of slaves.
They are the ones who turn all their followers into psychopaths.

A Russian and an American get on a plane in Moscow and get to talking.
The Russian says he works for the Kremlin and he's on his way to go learn American #propaganda techniques.
"What American propaganda techniques?" asks the American.
"Exactly," the Russian replies.
-- not my joke --
[we need a term for how capitalism naturally creates a media that sustains an American culture that normalizes vast disparities in power and living the good life based on wealth.]

"Few if any analysts see Mr. Trump as a Stalin, who crushed science, or even as a direct analog to this era’s strongmen leaders. But his assault on researchers and their institutions is so deep that historians and other experts see similarities to the playbook employed by autocratic regimes to curb science."

nice and good practice today to wrap up august.
no wonder why I'm fitter by the end of the summer, enjoying #consistency and #health
hoxe fun correr un anaco pola mañán para completar un bo agosto de actividades, puiden ser consistente dun xeito relaxado sen forzarme a facer aquilo ou isto. Tiven boa saúde (hai meses que nin teño molestias) e puiden manter unha boa xeira en días consecutivos incluso.
Espero, desexo, poder seguir así algunha semana máis, que despois xa sei que me veño un pouco abaixo (moralmente).
