When the Fog Begins to Lift If you feel as though the world is going crazy, you’re not imagining things. Over the past decade, a media-driven “woke” movement gripped Western societies, creating what Michael Shellenberger calls “mass psychosis.” He argues that Democrats and media figures labeled opponents of DEI, racial quotas, and open borders as far-right—not because those people had changed, but because the political left had moved dramatically further left on cultural issues. Evidence continues to support this view. U.S. General Social Survey data suggests that center- and right-leaning opinions have remained relatively stable since the early 2000s, while left-wing views have shifted substantially. Meanwhile, publications such as *The New York Times* and *The Washington Post* sharply increased their use of terms like “racist” and “white privilege” after 2012. Shellenberger writes: “The media did this. The mass brainwashing came from college-educated elites in control of the most powerful propaganda machine in world history. These elites convinced the public that the West had grown more racist than ever, a blatant contradiction of the evidence. While the public was distracted by manufactured culture wars, governments exploited the chaos to consolidate power. Authoritarianism, spiraling debt, and economic devastation were the crippling costs of this deception.” He describes the political consequences just as bluntly: “By the time we got to 2016, Democrats had become completely unhinged. They made everything political, hunted heretics, and weaponized the government—three core characteristics of totalitarianism.” The fallout has been severe. Institutions lie in ruins, public trust has collapsed, and communities remain deeply divided. This was not simply a political miscalculation. It was ideological warfare, designed to divide and control. As the fog begins to lift, one question remains: Have we learned enough to resist the next wave of fearmongering and manipulation—or will we once again accept the same tactics from new faces?

Petra De Sutter heeft voor de zoveelste keer een geweldige persoonlijke flater begaan met een gigantisch negatieve fallout voor het hele Vlaamse onderwijs. Had de UGent een echte Raad van Bestuur in plaats van een politiek-activistisch boeltje : ze zou er al lang niet meer zitten. Deze vrouw hoort bij de 11.11.11’en van deze wereld, geen academische instelling te leiden. #Onderwijs #Politiek #Vlaanderen

The article explores how adaptations of video games, such as 'The Last of Us', 'Arcane', and 'Fallout', have transformed in the last decade from criticized flops into successful and highly-rated television products, thanks to a generation of creators who themselves grew up with video games and managed to convey their unique narrative elements into a new format.

Es un poco triste que la MEJOR noticia en años de Bethesda sea a través de un mensaje largo. O todo está muy verde o no entiendo cómo es posible que hayas confirmado Fallout 3 remaster y no enseñes absolutamente NADA. No te digo ya Fallout 5 o New Vegas remaster pero tío... #Bethesda #Fallout #Videojuegos

Así se perfila el futuro de Fallout: ▫️ Los remasters de Fallout 3 y Fallout: New Vegas están en desarrollo. ▫️ Fallout 5 ya entró en fase de preproducción. ▫️ Obsidian trabaja en un nuevo Fallout. ▫️ Fallout 76 recibirá el próximo año una expansión que servirá como precuela de Fallout 3. #Fallout #Videojuegos #GamingNews

Der Artikel beleuchtet, warum die Verfilmungen von Videospielen wie „Fallout“ und „The Last of Us“ heute erfolgreich sind, indem er auf die steigende Nachfrage nach Streaming-Inhalten und die erwachsene Fangemeinde hinweist, die mit diesen Spielen aufgewachsen ist, sowie auf den Trend, Geschichten im Universum der Spiele eigenständig zu entwickeln, anstatt sie eins zu eins nachzuerzählen. #Videospielverfilmungen #Streaming #Fallout

Fallout from the Iran Deal — When you look at the fallout from the war, you might think, How can Trump not be thrashed by the voters as a result of this? And part of the answer is, Well, structurally, he’s got a lot of advantages By @DraperRobert https://t.co/VSj0PyJwZy #IranDeal #Trump #Politics #IR

And the bad news: "“The reality is that the MAGA coalition is largely still intact, with some very glaring and loud exceptions,” Robert said. “That’s because there’s such an abiding commitment to the personality and the persona of Trump.” In other words, there are cracks, but not a crisis. When the midterm elections come, they, too, are likely to be painful for Republicans. But they might also be less disastrous than the fallout from the war might suggest." @nytimes

And finally, towards the end of the first "hot" phase of the war, there were credible rumors of China and Russia informing Tel Aviv that the usage of nuclear weapons against Iran is not allowed. I interpret this to concern the 'strategic' (high yield, high fallout) nuclear #NuclearWeapons #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #CN #RU #IL #IR

Pocas veces me he reído más que con BETHESDA PRESENTA y todo el mundo esperaba Fallout 3 Remastered y era una actualización de Fallout 76... BETHESDA PRESENTA y nosotros como gilipollas esperando The Elder Scrolls 6 pero era una actualización de The Elder Scrolls Online https://t.co/hh7S2KS9JY #Bethesda #Fallout #ElderScrolls
