    In my experience it’s not exactly political derangement, but rather the arrogance of thinking they have the freest media and know better than anyone else.

      This is the truth. Americans used to say shit like “I get my news from fox and CNN so therefore I am objective.”

          Plato: “Lights come out of a box and make shapes and the people stare at it.”

          Other Greeks: “like fire making shadows?”

          Plato, exhausted, going home: “yeah, sure, whatever helps you get it.”

            Plato: “So anyway, the people who stare at these boxes are stupid assholes but you can never convince them that they’re wrong.”
