Inner dialog with a friend....

Reality is reality, propaganda is not the same thing.

What are we living in?

Each as the brains leads them, me, reality, so I ignore the propaganda.

Propaganda shapes reality. For several years even more intensely than ever. So...

Negative, it only shapes the perception of the reality for the weak minded.

I think everyone understands what the other wants to say.

What I want to add is that what we live in is important. When propaganda is transposed into reality, it is no longer perception, it is even reality, and therefore the construction we adhere to out of habit/tradition/frond/principles/not drinking the koolaid/etc becomes an illusion.

It is reality only for those who believe propaganda, for the rest of us it is not reality, and therefore we do not adapt to the currents of opinion generated by propaganda, we see our own path.

If everyone did that, the propaganda would have zero effects, but activists are paid to believe the lies they propagate and make them believe to the stupids, and stupidity prefers to believe what activists and propgandists say for they are famous actors, politicians, sold scietists and bilionaires, rather than to use their own brains. They lose, not me.

For example, how do we see our way where the payment is only by cash?

Giving up payment as often best option rather than accumulating money in the account or in the stocking in exchange for accumulating something else that can quickly be turned into cash when needed, that is much more interesting, said the one who has being crucified last Friday (and the other they crucified him two Fridays ago, the Catholics, I think they had agreed) that we should not work with the currency of the demons because they control our lives, why do you think your government is pushing the free and guaranteed universal income down the throats of all the suckers?

To keep us addicted to their drug, and to farmers with subsidies, but if you move something not sanctioned by them, you get cut off the income... freedom is not easy to maintain, as Jennis Joplin also said, Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose...

For her and Bobby McGee it seems easy.

Everything seems easy for those who are not directly involved, like couch football players or keyboard warriors, but in reality everything is difficult at the beginning, but let's not forget that at the beginning everything is harder, then it becomes easier.

It's all about starting and not giving up.
