You want the truth?
You can’t handle a WiFi signal without buffering—what the hell will you do with truth?
Let’s be clear.
Truth didn’t slip away quietly in the night.
It was gangbanged by:
- funded think tanks,
- blue-check influencers,
- media interns with 3 tabs of ChatGPT open,
- and a guy named Rajat who thinks quoting Wikipedia makes him a philosopher.
And now it’s lying in a ditch somewhere, next to:
- integrity,
- nuance,
- and your dad’s sense of self-worth.
🐑 “But surveys say…”
Shut up.
You clicked on a Buzzfeed quiz last night to find out which pasta shape you are.
Now suddenly you’re quoting the World Happiness Index like it’s scripture?
These aren’t rankings. They’re fanfics for white guilt.
📈 Think Tanks = The New Priests of Bullshit
You ever see who funds these “independent global reports”?
It’s the same ten people who:
- own your data,
- write your policies,
- and sell you diversity via sweatshops.
They call it a “non-partisan initiative”.
You know what that means?
They’re screwing you from both ends with bipartisan enthusiasm.
🧸 Woke? Broke. Broke in the Brain.
We live in a world where saying “I don’t believe the news” gets you labelled a conspiracy theorist,
but believing a TikTok about Saturn retrograde curing trauma is seen as “spiritual growth”.
Everyone wants to “live their truth”—
Nobody wants to check if it’s actually true.
People believe:
- Crystals can fix their childhood.
- All religions are equal.
- AI will solve loneliness.
- And that Ukraine hashtags count as activism.
We’ve replaced enlightenment with hashtags and call it consciousness.
🪨 No One’s Thinking. They’re Just Teaming.
You’re not thinking.
You’re joining a team.
Red team. Blue team. Vegan team. Genderfluids of the Sahara team.
Everyone parroting the same TikTok tone like it’s gospel.
Saying “As someone who…” and “I feel like…” like it’s evidence.
“I identify as an overthinker.”
Cool, bro. I identify as done with your shit.
🎤 Here’s the Real Truth You Won’t Hear in a TED Talk:
- Most people are idiots.
- Most content is bait.
- Most data is decorated garbage.
- Most opinions are copied.
- And most of your heroes are either frauds, cowards, or PowerPoint salesmen with cologne.
So What Now?
Nothing.
You keep scrolling.
Keep believing another study.
Keep quoting another curated stat like it’s a tattoo on your soul.
Because questioning is effort.
And effort doesn’t fit your aesthetic.
But for those of us who still burn, who still bite, who can smell the rot under the fragrance of “insightful newsletters”—
We don’t want peace. We want clarity.
We don’t chant mantras.
We sharpen them.
