What they said

“Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.” André Gide.

"Propaganda is very effective if you don’t know it’s happening to you. That’s why westerners are far more propagandized than the populations of nations with overtly authoritarian governments." Caitlin Johnstone. This is why most Romanians are profoundly sceptical and refreshingly cynical about American propaganda.

"There was a time, long ago, when you could park your lazy butt in a large benevolent company and reasonably expect to retire from it in 30 years as a bitter, broken shell of your former self, living out your miserable life on a subsistence retirement income. But things won’t be so easy in the future.”

Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, who died two days ago.
