The propaganda system that besieges our mind is no small matter. It gives an artificial understanding of reality, and we then proceed to act on this information. The fact toxic waste lakes exist – leaking 2 to 4 billion litres per year – is something so scandalous. We should be outraged at the mere existence of these things. Think deeply about how we secure our homes and cars because we're afraid of what people may do. But this poisoning is happening as we speak. Consequently, it’s a massive effort to keep our priorities straight. So when the media screams at us about this crisis or that incident, we should realize that ultimately the real crimes are ignored.
