Eddie sent this through today; it is well worth a read.
For a growing number, the article’s assertion is irrefutable – we are lied to continuously. By the time reality reasserts itself and even possibly acknowledged in the media that formerly ridiculed or attacked those pointing to information that revealed the truth, the spectacle has moved on.
Guy Debord’s Warning of “The Role of the Expert”: A Philosophical Perspective on the Rise of Fact-Checking by Stavroula Pabst
The spectacle’s totality of domination over our lives is an amazing yet shocking feat that forces those recognizing the phenomenon to reckon with the “un-lives” we live. Thus, while “ignorance knows… it has nothing to say,” overriding and dismantling the spectacle requires finding something to say: as Debord writes, a “practical force must be set in motion.”
This “practical force” needs the meaningful dialogue that spectacle’s creep into our lives has largely eliminated, if not wholly erased, via phenomena including today’s fact-checking and anti-disinformation crazes. And that dialogue and communication cannot be initiated by atomized individuals or by lonely crowds susceptible to spectacle’s influence, but by people who share community and a meaningful connection to what Debord describes as “universal history,” “ where dialogue arms itself to make its own conditions victorious.”
The “practical force” referred to by Guy Debord is now in motion and trust in the media and institutions purveying false narratives is crumbling. Daily, growing numbers awaken to the lies.
What follows this awakening is the realisation that everything is connected and has a purpose, population reduction and control.
As I’ve previously suggested, the strategy is failing although much damage is being wrought by the structure in its death throes. The quicker people join the dots to see the reality of how we are controlled, the sooner the death and destruction will diminish.
