“ The West lied, impossible…”
The 21st century West is built on lies. In America now the government has nothing but lies, you cannot find truth in it regardless of how hard you look. It is dystopia and a dark age has descended. I expect that in Europe it is at least similar.
When America and the West won the old Cold War, it ended up ruining the West as well as eastern Eurasia. It took a decade or so of of the West feeling invulnerable, becoming monstrously arrogant and descending into societal hedonism…but in the end it destroyed both sides in different ways.
I don’t need to wear sunglasses, as my future doesn’t seem bright…
