The app for independent voices

Give credit that Diego is prepared to say it and still admit he can see the cracks in the messaging. It is not easy to come here and say something like that. The best we can all hope for is that people on both sides of the divide are able to start seeing clearly and, if they didn't before, to feel able to say it, and to admit they were wrong, or that they've been duped. At the end of the day, we need to remember the most egregious and criminal actions have been on the part of those who have instigated, who have profited, and who have been bought off - crooked policy makers, pharma, media. People who have sold their souls. Possibly even shady billionaire elites who operate with nefarious purposes (I'm still wrapping my brain around that - it seems too godawful to be true). Those who have set out deliberately to deceive or stay silent - the manipulators of data, paid "fact" checkers, recipients of pharma money and tainted research grants, morally bankrupt experts and academics, craven doctors, power-hungry leaders and governments. They have all played their part. The little people have been well and truly played. Yes, many have succumbed to their baser instincts of scapegoating, taunting, goading, egging on, and collaborative by-standing. That will be for each to wrestle with their consciences - and in their final reckonings. For those who have suffered at their hands, we will have different things to grapple with. These are the age-old matters of hurt, hatred, anger, blame, contrition, bitterness, forgiveness, redemption, acceptance. These are the fires that can burn us up or set us free.
