    Checking my local newspaper, turning on the TV, and logging into my favorite social media. Everywhere I go it’s the same message - liberals are to blame.

    What other conclusion am I supposed to draw?

        Critical thinking without useful information is just teleology. You’re stuck doing Thomas Acquinus shit or Aristotilianisn when you have an abundance of analytical skill but you’re working from fundamentally biased or outright manufactured sources.

          The information is there. I’ve had no problem keeping informed. It has been a drain on my mental health, but it’s very doable.

          Just stay away from bullshit social media, first and foremost.

            Yeah, that’s not a sustainable way to keep the majority informed. Most don’t have the availability to do this extra work between jobs and family.
