I've never come across this word before. I like it a lot. Mainly because it describes someone I know well. Me.

The only thing more uncertain than the future is the past. We all must take extra caution with propaganda written by the victors.
I've thought about this topic for many years. Most of us depend on technology that we can't master. The knowledge gap between the users and the controllers keeps getting larger. A risky position for most people to be in.
THE ILLUSION OF CONTROL.
With rumours circulating about a possible worldwide blackout this November, I find myself contemplating something far deeper than whether these predictions will materialise.
How much of humanity's existence have we surrendered to systems we no longer know how to survive without?
We have constructed a civilisation of extraordinary intelligence, yet made ourselves increasingly dependent upon its inventions.
Our money is digital.
Our communication requires networks.
Our food depends upon supply chains. Our hospitals, transportation, security and access to information rely upon electricity.
Remove the power, and suddenly the illusion of control begins to unravel.
What happens when the currency in your account becomes inaccessible?
When the technology connecting billions of people falls silent?
When the conveniences we mistake for necessities disappear?
The greatest vulnerability of modern civilisation is not the possibility of losing electricity, but how much of our independence we've surrendered in exchange for convenience.
I'm not predicting a blackout.
I'm questioning whether humanity has become so technologically advanced that we've forgotten how to exist without technology.
WE'VE MASTERED THE ART OF CONNECTING THE WORLD, BUT HAVE WE FORGOTTEN HOW TO SURVIVE WITHIN IT? 💯🙏
At some point, I got over the fact that our home grown veges didn't look like the porn versions in supermarkets. Here's our 1kg of harvested beetroot washed and ready for pickling. Purple, Striped White and Purple and Yellow. There's way more varieties than the shops offer.
This is a great example of what creative people can give us. For a second, I thought I saw Albo! Nah. Faulty image recognition.
More and more ordinary Europeans are waking up and refusing to swallow the endless stream of propaganda, excuses and outright bullshit the establishment keeps trying to force down their throats.
This video is now going viral across France and the EU, spreading like wildfire on YouTube, TikTok and X.
And it’s hardly surprising.
People are fed up with being lied to, patronised and treated like fools by their own leaders.
Every failure, every political disaster and every consequence of their own decisions is conveniently pinned on Russia.
Enough is enough.
Europeans are tired of the endless blame game, the manufactured excuses and an establishment that is incapable of taking responsibility for its own failures.
