re: #1 Mattand

Have to admit, I’m starting to get John Oliver fatigue. He’s more of a journalist than most actual journalists, and is incredibly funny. But goddamn, watching that show anymore is like “Here is a thing you participate in that is, at its core, inherently evil. I’m not implying heavily you’re a piece of shit for participating, but basically you are.”

That’s why people prefer comforting lies.
The truth hurts our feelings.
We’re complicit in a lot of evil shit but want to think of ourselves as good people.
