But if you had to make an informed guess knowing the history of the CIA, three letter agencies and false flag attacks, and American interventionism as a whole, the answer seems pretty obvious, right? Yeah, maybe the murderous rapist didn’t assault and kill this young lady, but he’s done it to every girl in the neighbourhood so I’m gonna believe the accusations more easily…
Betting on Trump lying feels like a safe bet to be sure, and nothing about it is out of character for American foreign ops. But that’s not confirmation of anything. And the problem is, I have no more confidence in the other side of this equation.
In more grounded terms, If two known liars both give you their side of the story, and both sound plausible there is this overwhelming feeling of exhaustion and melancholy that hits me every time. What’s the point? Even if one of you is telling the truth, it was probably so distorted as to be worthless.
I don’t know if I was just naive or raised by naive people, or if something has genuinely changed in the modern age - but it pains me greatly that we don’t even pretend to value integrity anymore.
The monsters in charge of America have come to the realization that their society is mostly cooked beyond redemption so they don’t have to spend any energy spinning the truth and keeping up appearances. In fact, a sizable portion of Americans celebrate their nations immoral geopolitical moves and overall anti-humanist attitude, so much that things like overt racism and even Nazi salutes are now proudly displayed!
