Just to expand a bit upon what I was saying yesterday, I think the attempt to nullify the mainstream as a concept is an example of how, these days, the idea of the truth is more and more up for grabs. Things are becoming more ad hominem: if someone does not like a certain report, he attacks the messenger rather than dealing with the content of the message. If the media is reporting something someone does not like, he makes a big song and dance about the big bad ”mainstream”. Games are being played; people are trying to manipulate us more and more. We can see a great illustration of this here: on a day when a report on Trump’s corruption came out, he simply got on Twitter and made one of his ridiculous statements, thereby distracting everyone and taking our attention away from the bigger, far more serious issue. Thus what we are told and what we believe is becoming more and more a playground; we are being manipulated, and the information we receive is becoming increasingly fucked about with. I don’t know about you, but I find that a really worrying state of affairs.
