"...Not least, there are rules for how we receive information. Statements are no longer true or false, justified or frivolous, but politically correct or incorrect, good or evil.
It is faith, not strength of argument, that is the key. To be convinced by the opposite party, is losing the debate and betray the cause.
It never strikes anyone, that it is a strange debate, where no one ever change your or their mind. The only argument is the identification of the opponent with a fraction from the realization that we do not belong to a group, we agree with, but agree with the group we belong to.
The reality that our senses present to us, in this context means very little.
Our dead are victims. Dead enemies is propaganda.
Even less important is our own thoughts and feelings, dreams and sexuality. The real thoughts and feelings we get from talk shows.
Happiness is knowing what is normal, what is acceptable for the neighbour."
