To narrow it down, it has to be something you will not forgive a country for doing for the rest of your life. Alternatively, you can feel something in great disdain towards the whole world, like what you see universally done or know of.

Mine would be and I strongly use this word because of the practice associated to it, but, the raping of information.

And I say that because it is astonishingly appalling just how distorted information has gotten. With how modern day journalism has been to even half-baked Wikipedia articles that aren’t detailed. Even historical accounts aren’t entirely safe because they just get revised and re-written at a moment’s notice to fit particular narratives or perspectives of others.

The lines of lies and truths are completely blurred, only registered by particular contexts or levels of convenience. It burns my mind up to think some of the time, as to what I should take in for information that isn’t just for a purpose of study. I’m so jaded towards anything, I take everything projected with contempt.

    The way everything has been stupefied. Half of adults can’t read or write at a functional level. If they can’t read how do they fact check?

    I am sure public schools have been deliberately made worse because a dumber population is easier to control.

    I just don’t know how to prove it.
