the greatest contradiction about this century so far is that despite an unprecedented level of access to information, there has been such a perverse rise of anti intellectualism. both the brexit campaign and trumps entire claim to the presidency has been comprised of outright lies, to the point where they have created completely different narratives of what the truth is, despite that the facts that oppose their fictional alternative realities have been completely verifiable and accessible to the masses.

history is really gonna laugh at us huh
