You don't even know if these things are real

 I'm more concerned about rather than the physical prison you have yourself in the mental prison that you have willingly put yourself in and keep yourself in. If you are going to give that much of yourself up and that obsession that prison you damn well better know if it's even real.

I find the irony distressing, knowing that you've lost your freedom in a fake fight for liberty. You waged a non-existent war. The actual war is for control of your mind, which in giving up you have allowed control of your actions, which allowed people who don't give two shits about you to ruin your business, your marriage, and everyone you've worked decades to build. THAT'S what is real. That life you built, and you threw it away, for what? What's better now? What was better while Trump ruled? What was great about that demagoguery, and why was it okay or not recognized by you for what it really was? Why is tyranny okay if the tyrant is yours? It's not okay. No matter which side you're on. It's never okay. We have to stop this madness.

They ask people what they think about what someone else said or posted and demand a reaction. What does it really matter what someone else thinks and why must others always weigh in? Take, for example, Naomi Osaka pullout. She said what she said, she gave her reasons, accepted the fine, and that should have been the end of it. But, no. It has to get talked to...

INTRO TO BOOK CONCEPT IN TYPICAL EXPOSITORY FORM - "Post-Progressive"

On January 7, 2021, Presidential Election Certification Day in the United States, I viewed scenes from the previous day's Capitol revolt in horror along with millions of other Americans. Reading my daily news feed, I saw photo after photo of a frenzied mob storming our country's most venerated federal building, penetrating its entry points in any way possible, in an attempt to disrupt the House of Representatives' business of officially naming Joe Biden 40th president of the United States. Angry, passion-fueled protestors armed with everything from signs and flags to zip ties, handcuffs, incendiary devices, and firearms had swarmed the building. They scaled walls and balconies, assaulted and pushed past Capitol guards, breached the chamber itself, and reportedly went on the hunt for any elected officials who hadn't managed to flee the building in fear for their lives. Some in the mob were even heard demanding the head of outgoing Vice President ____ Pence, who they by t...
