SNEAKY CHINESE COMMUNISTS EXPOSED

Is there a word for when the world becomes what used to be satire? I remember when The Red Scare of the fifties was made fun of as ridiculous hysteria (Hank Hills dad, Fallout and Harvester come to mind off the top of my head of jokes the 90s' used to make about The Red Scare), and here we are repeating the mistakes that we used to shame the past for.

oo "where the rich own the truth" sounds like it could have some leftist messaging let’s see what the reviews are!

In this book we also see the dangers for their work in the current world. Truth risks being bought, processed and distributed. In Mexico, Russia, China, India and soon in other places a journalist writing like Tom Burgis will be killed after the first investigations and propaganda will be called reality. It’s for us all to support this work and preserve the liberty that we still have. For how long? It’s on us all.

yea

i honestly might prefer the anti-communist slob to these almost-leftist writers that take any spark of discontent with the status quo and encase it in a thick layer of ideology.
