Every day in every way I keep getting more and more cynical, kinda like Inspector Dreyfus got better and better ? Seriously, I feel as though I am living out a nightmare, living in a land of morons ruled over by foreign occupiers.

"naive" is a too-charitable description of the American public. I'd say "ignorant." I know smart people that, basically, don't. want. to. know. And if you stopped 10 randos walking out of Costco, you can bet that 5-8 couldn't name the vice president. We're in a bubble here on this blog, wondering how the Russians are progressing in volchansk while half of America thinks Taiwan is in Hawaii (made-up stat, don't cite me). But, for real, I work with guys that think Disney Star Wars is good. Too many Americans uncritically accept what they're told by their corporate/govt masters and hence don't see the dissonance between that and reality. Boggles the mind, but explains where we are as a nation.
