      Me five years ago: “thank god we have the internet now, and the ability of people to talk with others on the other side of the Earth makes them much less likely to swallow nationalist war propaganda”

      Me now: “half of European citizens are fascist white supremacists and at the very least need years worth of reeducation”

        Up til now it has been thought that the growth of Christian myths during the Roman Empire was possible only because printing was not yet invented. Precisely the contrary. The daily press and the telegraph, which in a moment spreads inventions over the whole Earth, fabricates more myths (and the bourgeoise cattle believe and enlarge upon them) in one day than could have formerly been done in a century.
