One of the oddest aspects of this patently insane era, to me, is that all it takes to see its insanity is to simply listen to what politicians ( and their cronies and minions) are actually saying and watch what they’re actually doing.

For example, even as official mouthpieces continue to insist that Israel is not engaged in a genocide of Palestinisns, right-wing politicians and their supporters are actively and even enthusiastically calling for it and soldiers and police and government agents are gleefully bragging about and even filming themselves carrying it out.

It’s not even insanity - that’s an insufficient term. It’s like exponential insanity - insanity^2^.
