You clearly have no idea the nature of the problem you want to solve with such erroneous platitudes. But it’s probably not even your fault you are ignorant of the reality of the matter as you advocate for squeezing harder to get blood from a stone; your statement illustrates that you are a victim of a delusion and psychological abuse that has been perpetrated upon the whole western world for more than a century now, so of course after everything you know from your very first breath promoting a delusional fantasy, you would also have that world view since it is post 1984 after all.

Every time I attempt to read it, halfway through my brain flips into the mode that is normally reserved for when people start telling me that Ivermectin is a COVID remedy, or something equally farcical.
