There are objective truths. However, what we are witnessing in America right now isn’t lies. Lies require an intention to deceive. What we are witnessing is a spread of paranoid perceptions in society, and unfortunately the only thing an individual knows for certain is that s/he exists. Yes, it is within reason to say that an apple is an apple or at least not a watermelon. If someone attempts to do some weird logic to make that a watermelon they have to have be a watermelon or it means their faith in humanity is blown, welcome to how I seriously view Christianity and all religion. That’s by no means not meant to be anything but how I can relate. However I have my own delusions as well, but by the nature of a delusion versus a lie, I have no idea what my delusions are. This though is the difference between a schizophrenic and a liar.
Trump is delusional because he cannot accept that he lost. That is unfathomable. He’s basically going through a mental break down. Playing on this is the brainwashing we give youth about the glory of the revolutionary war. That’s pretty obvious. My generation got that bad. We also got part of our dicks cut off more than any other generation. I was told I was delusional in college, because I strongly opposed the morality of it. One psychologist I had at WMU said that if the majority believes it is true, then it is delusional to disagree. I explained that the majority of humanity agrees with me, just not my country or community. A different VA psychologist said it was like cutting hair or nails. Uh, those grow back, don’t have nerve endings, and frankly I was growing enraged by the constant battle on an issue that was personal to me. Once in Bosnia I met a general. Part of his hand was blown off in Vietnam. I was told to approach him like I didn’t notice. Instead as I went in to shake his hand, I paused, because tactically it was a different angle and I didn’t want to over grip him too far in the hand in a way that would cause him to not return a firm grip. He was insulted. I spent the night prior catching someone trying to sneak over the razor fencing into our military intel compound. I was exhausted, and high school drama was less than a year ago. Our guns jammed, because this VIP was coming the next day in the early morning, and we didn’t want them oily and catching pollen on night patrol. This left my partner and I pulling out a comically useless m9 bayonet, which has to be the military version of numb-chucks. The invading entity in the bushes retreated until they got into what was likely a vehicle lighting up below, while the idiotic military intel officers gave away our position by lighting us with flashlights that were definitely giving away their position. The whole situation in America is absurd, but so is the world. I hate to blow anyone’s coping mechanism, and I do see a medical need for me to take pills to sleep, but frankly I’m not sure I’m really schizophrenic or even bipolar at this point so much as someone who has difficulty dealing with reality like the finite aspects to life, and the relatively insignificant impact I have on anything in the bigger picture. I say forgive and forget, but I also didn’t kill anyone as far as I know, nor have I had loved ones killed by someone else’s grandiosity. I’m not in good health. Years of drug use have hurt me, including meds I was forced on by doctors to control me. I see the need for the ones I have though.
