yes. all part of a desperate collective triage operation that involves running away from a present that's too confusing to understand.
the problem is that in the american oligarchy, the servile "free" press gives this running away decontextualized coverage.
and given the centrality of repetition to the formation of belief in ideological propositions, the circle can start again.
it'd be interesting to see if that circle could be started on the basis of absolutely anything. my sense is that it could be---any statements at all, repeated long enough, would serve the same function.
