What The Hell Is Going On Here,\u00a0Anyway?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of my young career here I\u2019ve amassed a very eclectic group of readers from all across the political spectrum, which I quite enjoy. Sometimes I read the comments sections just to watch what happens when you bring people together from wildly different worldviews who wouldn\u2019t normally interact with each other very much and see how those reality tunnels dance together in a conversation or debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t rightly call my whole audience left-wing or right-wing, conspiracy theorists or anarchists, activists or intellectuals, or almost any other label I can think of. There\u2019s only one attribute that comes to mind which unites pretty much all of my readers and social media followers, and that\u2019s a drive to know what\u2019s really going on in the world. Their curiosity about what\u2019s going on in what specific field may differ from person to person, as do the conclusions they reach, but basically I think we\u2019re all united by a desire, perhaps often an obsessive one, to come to some understanding of what\u2019s really happening in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If schools, news media and politicians told people what\u2019s really going on in the world, this curiosity wouldn\u2019t exist. There\u2019d be no need to do deep investigations into what\u2019s really happening, because it would be public knowledge, right there in our faces every day, and I\u2019d be out of a job. The only reason people like me get to make a living trying to expose what\u2019s really happening in the world to as many people as possible is because the teachers, news reporters and politicians don\u2019t do that job for us, and instead dedicate themselves to the craft of filling public consciousness with power-authorized lies. So people gather in little fringe communities like this one in an attempt to help each other slice through the fog of propaganda and disinfo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
