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?

By choosing "de-escalation" tactics, NATO turned Article 5 into a Schrödinger's cat. So long as the decision box stays closed, NATO is both willing and unwilling to react. Now it seems like Putin might force us to open the box and find out what's inside. #NATO #DeEscalation #Putin #NATO #RU

At this year's Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, the release of a new installment in the Worms series titled Worms: Galactic Tactics was announced, planned for 2027, as well as an expansion for the popular game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt titled Songs of the Past, which will be released in 2027 and will bring the last adventure of the witcher Geralt before passing the metaphorical baton to his adoptive daughter Ciri.

🚨💣 Les erreurs d’Enzo Maresca face à Arsenal : • Avoir préféré O’Reilly à Aït-Nouri, tout en laissant Nunes sur le banc. • Avoir aligné Khusanov au poste de latéral droit. • Avoir titularisé Haaland, Kovacic et Anderson. • Avoir laissé Nico González sur le banc. https://t.co/SVFQnpX7Tm #Football #Tactics #Coaching

info @lequipe Comme annoncé, Fonseca devrait titulariser Abner et De Carvalho ce soir, numériquement à la place de Boudache et Duranville. Openda sera seul devant, soutenu par le Brésilien et Tolisso, tandis que Tessmann reculera dans une défense à trois. https://t.co/TRl5jVIzPb #Football #Tactics #MatchDay

🌏❗️China has for years been using military pressure on Taiwan as an element of negotiating tactics and as a means of exerting pressure on the international stage. The current Chinese military exercises serve these purposes, but they are also an element of provocation and of https://t.co/7Jzr1AI7E5 #Taiwan #China #MilitaryExercises #CN #TW

In another very recent interview, I was elaborating on Russia’s switch in tactics when it comes to (cruise) missiles and long-range drones. The entire interview, which was recorded just yesterday, can be watched here: https://t.co/5YZxb34QRi https://t.co/z8tEVEZT67 #Russia #Missiles #Drones #RU

‼️ La DIRECTIVA del Real Madrid asume que el centro del campo no funciona. En el club INSISTEN en que apostar por los jugadores que tienen es la decisión CORRECTA. Creen que lo que hay que cambiar es el estilo de juego del equipo. { @GuillermoRai_ } https://t.co/KDYJ9EEUFY #RealMadrid #Football #Tactics

Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, employed evasive tactics in a recent interview to sidestep uncomfortable topics such as political prisoners, electoral fraud, and economic failures, while maintaining her government's narrative and claiming progress through diplomatic relations with the U.S. despite widespread international condemnation. #Venezuela #DelcyRodríguez #DerechosHumanos

Capisco lo stupore, ma l’idea di provare Chukwueze come quarto di destra va contestualizzata nel percorso di Amorim: allo Sporting adatta in quella posizione due ali offensive come Catamo e Quenda; allo United, lo fa con Amad Diallo. Da sempre predilige un mancino a piede invertito, offensivo, in quella posizione. Chuku é l’unico mancino in rosa tra i giocatori offensivi. Era naturale lo provasse. Poi si vedranno le risposte nelle settimane di lavoro. #Football #Tactics #Amorim
