44. They have a very carefully crafted system of lies
Tue Jun 11, 2024, 04:58 PM
Jun 2024

During the day, they make up crap just in passing. As if it's just the news. Lies are just casually mentioned as fact.

Then in the evening, they get their talking heads to scream and rant about the lies made up during the day. They go on and on as if the world was coming to an end. They get their audience all worked up, always on the edge of hysteria.

This fear and hysteria keeps them coming back for more. It's like watching a horror show. It gives you a small adrenaline kick and makes you want more.

Then they turn off their televisions; put down their screens and it's quiet, like returning from a good night out. They are safe and sound in their homes but still they crave more of those lies.
