We are living in an age of denial. Denial of a genocide. Denial of an ongoing pandemic. Denial of a climate crisis. Acknowledging reality is an act of rebellion.

What we really need is to deny those f-ckers out of existence. At this point they are an existential threat to life on the planet.

We need lots more social science and psychology research to understand why it is happening, how such phenomena are fueled., and what to do to mitigate them.

Denial of the massacre of 1200 Israelis by Hamas.

When I read books like 1984 and Brave New World in high school, I never thought we’d be living so much of this just 30 or so years later.

Denial we are an extinction event

Education is going by the wayside. Can I blame the 30 second instant info blast of soc med? This is education:

i think it is also true that we are living in an age of mass dissociation - so many consequential bad things happening all at the same time that dealing with the trauma makes our brains literally try to dissociate from reality. or maybe that's just me. #chronicillness#mecfs#longcovid

It's a river in Egypt, no?

We're going to have to do a lot more than simply acknowledge it to have any hope of surviving this. The entire system has turned lies into truth and destroyed our connection to one another. We either end capitalism, or go the way of the dodo.
