That’s why it’s called Establishment journalism. You concentrate on the people at the top, the people with power; you watch, you study how they make their moves, you get fascinated by it, and pretty soon you can’t see anything else — just the top, just the power. And the others, the people, the readers, matter so little that you don’t even bother to let them know what’s going on. You start to think like the people you cover. It can happen on any beat — business, police, politics, education. The stuff you want is from the top — you want to quote the chief, the superintendent, the chairman of the board. There are no reliable sources who earn less than $10,000 a year.

"Après les attentats du 11 septembre 2001, George W. Bush avait établi un nouveau paradigme juridique. Il l’avait baptisé « guerre au terrorisme », vocable qui lui avait permis de tenter de s’affranchir du droit commun." https://www.lemonde.fr/idees/article/2025/04/29/de-george-w-bush-a-donald-trump-des-etrangers-vises-comme-ennemis_6601696_3232.html #perspective

This comment on the migraine post could have been me and I see my mistake now.
It’s this. It’s being against a good idea just because brain worms is the one talking about it. This is bad, I should not be like this. Then I’m in a political cult like MAGAts.
This could have been me:
“Nah. I can't get behind the banning of dyes in food because of where it comes from, the motive behind it, and the likely ineffective and detrimental roll out it'll have. Imagine the food waste if it's executed poorly.”
I need to shift my #perspective. Bad people are doing some bad things but they’re also doing some good things and being mad at the good things just because they are bad people is ridiculous.
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character. We can only see what we are, and if we misbehave we suspect others.
