Brommers-
I suspect post-truth has done a lot to damage people’s faith in democracy. It’s always been a problem with democracy that the village idiot’s vote is worth the same as the village’s best scientist’s, but nowadays the village seems happier to side with the idiot, at the expense of their own welfare.
I can see how a person in this climate might get especially tired of trying to convince people the earth is round, vaccines aren’t poison, billionaires aren’t your friends, climate change is real, the UK doesn’t rule the roost anymore... Hopefully they’ll take a break and then go back to fighting the good fight.

It's not often I express any public opinion on the subject because I have the humility to know my opinion is just one of many many different opinions and not worth much.
But I don't know, current events have got me feeling a bit like speaking out about it today. I'll try and get back to saving all the energy tomorrow.

Just to be clear, I'm not interested in engaging with (capital n) Nationalism either...
