“Biography used to be something you sought out, yearned for, actively pursued. Now it falls on your head all day long.”

“It is sad that our reality sounds like a conspiracy theory. Who would have ever thought that our very own people we elected, our very own government and media . They colluded with greedy people and are the ones behindour sufferings, unemployment, crime, troubles, killings, murder, poverty, infection, pandemic, sickness, failure and death . They made us think we are crazy and are making things up. Meanwhile they are the ones who are corrupt to the core. They are villains not victims. They create problems for us so they can try to come up with solutions that can make them profit.”

“Government and politicians are concern about what we say about them on social media. Rather than being concern on the issues we on social media. They don’t care about our issues. They care about their image.
How will that make them look. That is why they only attend to matters that will give them public stunt or good PRs. They don’t care about fixing the issues we are having.”

“For years, I assumed that educating people who are already interested in climate change would just be preaching to the choir. But my reporting career has taught me that's note true. Most people who are interested in climate change just don't yet have the tools to talk about it confidently. The choir is there. They want to sing. But they don't know the words. (Emily Atkin, Truth Be Told)”

![Calvin Coolidge](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/authors/1209358604i/101882._UX200_CR0,30,200,200_.jpg)
“I mentioned the other day that any reports about what I was going to do when I finished being President were made entirely without consultation with me. I forgot to mention one report that is going around. I mention it now because I don’t want to be accused of acquiring property under false pretenses. I am having sent to me quite a number of jackknives. I don’t recall that I ever made any suggestion that after I finished my term of office I was going to engage in the occupation of whittling. I did some when I was a boy. I haven’t applied myself to that for a good many years. I hesitate to spoil anything like a good newspaper story, but, as I say, I don’t want to keep getting jackknives under false pretenses.”

“The media primarily gives the microphone to voices that toe the line — voices that keep the masses under tight control, like a sedative. And as we listen to these voices or read what they have to say, we don’t have to think much because they’re basically regurgitating a spiel that we’ve heard a million times before.”

“Whenever the media, anchors, and journalists become the pawns of political parties and their propaganda clowns, they not only ignore their journalistic prestige but even misuse, discredit, and affront their freedom and neutrality. In this way, they have to reap the consequences of their unprofessional role.”

“The English language is perniciously ableist. We speak in metaphor that constantly puts down disabled bodies, with phrases like "turning a blind eye" and "it fell on deaf ears" falling from our lips so easily. People often tell me it's not that big of a deal. But, of course, if you've been listening to your language make you sound stupid, ignorant, and useless for your entire life, when you've made a profession out of the craft of language, you cannot help but find pain in the ways that language cuts you to the quick.

“The curious culture of the modern suburb will believe anything it is told in the papers about the wickedness of the Pope, or the martyrdom of the King of the Cannibal Islands, and, in the excitement of these topics, never knows what is happening next door. In this case, however, the two forms of interest actually coincided in a coincidence of thrilling intensity. Their own suburb had actually been mentioned in their favourite newspaper. It seemed to them like a new proof of their own existence when they saw the name in print. It was almost as if they had been unconscious and invisible before; and now they were as real as the King of the Cannibal Islands.”

“Neem nu ‘De Afspraak’. Dat zit daar altijd vol politieke journalisten, die inmiddels allemaal BV geworden zijn. De media voeren die alle dagen op, waardoor mensen op den duur gaan denken dat die figuren écht belangrijk zijn, dat die iets vertegenwoordigen. Maar de waarheid is: zij vertegenwoordigen enkel zichzelf en hun linkse, politiek-correcte woke-mening. Zij ondervragen elkaar, en zo blijven we in de cirkel van elitaire journalisten. Dat is niet meer dan een kruisbestuiving en een zelfbewierroking, en op den duur gaan ze zichzelf nog geloven ook.”

“Vroeger ging de man in de straat nog voor een stuk mee met de media. Ze geloofden wat er in de kranten stond en wat er in het nieuws gezegd werd. Maar nu beschouwt men de mainstream media als het verlengstuk van de culturele en politieke elite.”

“Given Loreti's position in society, the press had followed, panting. But they were to be disappointed by the police's failure to find any sign of what the English call "foul play," and so the investigation had been downsized to "missing person," whereupon the articles began to grow shorter and the pages on which they were printed further to the back of the newspapers. After a month or two, the articles followed the person into obscurity. Brunetti, who often saw things in a literary way, thought of this as a transposed simile. In the first days, the Loreti case was compared to some crime from the past. After a year, a new crime was compared to the Loreti disappearance. Over the years and generations, it had drifted into the distant past, Brunetti realized: from sensation to footnote.”

“The mainstream media continues to equate feminism, as such, with liberal feminism. But far from providing the solution, liberal feminism is part of the problem. Centered in the global North among the professional-managerial stratum, it is focused on “leaning-in” and “cracking the glass ceiling.” Dedicated to enabling a smattering of privileged women to climb the corporate ladder and the ranks of the military, it propounds a market-centered view of equality that dovetails perfectly with the prevailing corporate enthusiasm for “diversity.” Although it condemns “discrimination” and advocates “freedom of choice,” liberal feminism steadfastly refuses to address the socioeconomic constraints that make freedom and empowerment impossible for the large majority of women. Its real aim is not equality, but meritocracy. Rather than seeking to abolish social hierarchy, it aims to “diversify” it, “empowering” “talented” women to rise to the top. In treating women simply as an “underrepresented group,” its proponents seek to ensure that a few privileged souls can attain positions and pay on a par with the men of their own class.”
