re: Billionaire Palihapitiya says once he learned MSM was lying to him, he left the Dem party

So for me, it was an evolution where I was like, I can't believe I'm being lied to by this group of people whose sole responsibility is to hold truth, to power. The key word there is truth to power, not your perception or your desires. And I just think that that, that, I mean, red-pilled me, I guess in a way”

2020 and 2021 did it for me. The primary, secondary and tertiary issues, all combined into this unholy amalgamation that i could no longer ignore. Realized that Faux News isn't a conservative network at all. Saw through the corrvid lies. Saw a stolen Election happened right before my eyes.

I started to follow podcasters instead, but they've almost all flipped now. It's us vs. "them". Or, more specifically with "them" being The Establishment, it's "them" vs. ALL of us. And they masterfully keep us highly tribalized and fighting one another to keep our ire focused away from the puppeteer.

We've all heard the analogy about ants and a jar, but here it is again just in case no one has heard it or anyone hasn't seen it juxtaposed this way. Put a big pile of red ants and a big pile of black ants in a big jar of dirt. They will naturally stay with their own, and work together to build their mounds and tunnels and stay out of each other's way. Now, watch the outside observer start shaking the jar violently and watch the ants fight to the death, unable to do anything else.

The media, Hollywood, the music industry, sports, social media, big tech, Wall Street, big pharma, and the entirety of popular culture are shaking the jar nonstop. We're the ants.
