“Look, part of the whole technique of disempowering people is to make sure that the real agents of change fall out of history, and are never recognized in the culture for what they are. So it's necessary to distort history and make it look as if Great Men did everything - that's part of how you teach people they can't do anything, they're helpless, they just have to wait for some Great Man to come along and do it for them.”

My life is wonderful and the world couldn't be any better.

You've been kidnapped
Your kidnappers allow you keep
posting on social media to pretend
everything is alright.
What would you post that would alarm
your followers, without the kidnappers
knowing you're asking for help?

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.
