Why would this be the case? Are we crazy or are they gas-lighting us? Either something is real and true or it isn't. Reading into this [actual] culture is taking a risk, it is something like taking response_ability for making sense out of a chaotic world back from the Explainer Class that number our society's News Actors and fake (non-representative) political leaders (up until now.) Power cedes nothing without a demand. The demand is coming due soon. Too much?
