The last couple minutes of the video are so disheartening. To think that they are living through and dying because of the policies of the current administration yet still give their support. Even when they are shown how the president is directly profiting off of their misery, they still are fine with it.

The cognitive dissonance is insane.

    I am about 7 chapters in to The Brothers Karamazov. I had heard a lot of good things prior to reading it and knew it was a classic, but god damn is it good. Dostoevsky is an amazing author who can make you feel the essence of the scene he’s describing.

    I am glad I started reading it when I did, any earlier and I don’t think I would have the same appreciation for it.
