I didn’t write last weekend because I’ve been closely following the war and have become discouraged by everything happening. I even considered stopping writing altogether to simply watch the “end of the world” in peace, as it often feels like no one is listening or taking me seriously. I might mobilize myself to write something this weekend, but I’m not certain yet.

I wanted to post this because videos like the one attached really discourage me and make me lose hope in humanity. Sometimes there are moments when people like Alex Christoforou, Glenn Diesen, Brian Berletic, and of course John Helmer or others give me hope, but then watching videos like this makes me discouraged again. I have previously criticized Tom Luongo and Alex Krainer; frankly, I don’t understand why people I respect continue to invite Krainer onto their programs. For instance, his recent appearance on Glenn Diesen’s show felt like a waste of time. If someone invites him, they should confront the bullshit he was spewing and how wrong he was.

I admire Alex Christoforou because he is the only one who was brave enough to confront their absurdities. In a post named “God bless Alex Christoforou for being the voice of reason! It was freaking awesome to finally hear a voice of reason against this “Orange Jesus” bullshit narrative! Also, props to Glenn Diesen!” there was a video where Alex was invited on a program of “Orange Jesus” disciples similar to the one in the main video attached, and he confronted them with the truth. It gave me hope and made me feel really good that those bullshit artists were finally confronted by facts.

Take into consideration that Alex Christoforou is a public person, and by confronting them, he risks his reach and may never be invited again. If he cared more about fame and recognition than truth, he would not do it. For him, I think truth is more important than being liked, which is why I highly respect him. Moments like Alex Christoforou confronting those waffling artists from Orange Jesus cult really lift me up, as do moments of Glenn Diesen confronting so-called experts waffling artists on Ukraine or Iran. With time, the number of people whose opinions I respect is simply getting smaller, which is really sad.

Anyway, that will be it; it’s a short post. Maybe I will finally motivate myself to write a proper post later, but I am not sure, because I am considering just watching the end of the world in peace and silence. Humanity is really letting me down.

Krista asks: What is it about society that disappoints you so much?

Elliot thinks: Oh I don’t know, is it that we collectively thought Steve Jobs was a great man even when we knew he made billions off the backs of children?

Or maybe it’s that it feels like all our heroes are counterfeit; the world itself’s just one big hoax. Spamming each other with our burning commentary of bullshit masquerading as insight, our social media faking as intimacy.

Or is it that we voted for this? Not with our rigged elections, but with our things, our property, our money.

I’m not saying anything new. We all know why we do this, not because Hunger Games books makes us happy but because we wanna be sedated. Because it’s painful not to pretend, because we’re cowards.

F**k Society.

“Our civilized world is nothing but a great masquerade. You encounter knights, parsons, soldiers, doctors, lawyers, priests, philosophers and a thousand more: but they are not what they appear – they are merely masks… Usually, as I say, there is nothing but industrialists, businessmen and speculators concealed behind all these masks.”

― Arthur Schopenhauer
