"Brussels won the battle for Romania. Soros won. For the moment, only Poland is left in play and, in case you haven’t heard, Obama and Alex Soros visited the country in recent days."

In the application of institutional management of society, the prevalence of corruption is never addressed in the documentation. Not even as an infinitesimal influence that can be effectively disregarded. I note we all know why this feature of institutions isn't discussed in the manuals that we are taught in school regarding government and elections, if such issues are even touched on in Western public education anymore.

We can observe phenomena like the Epstein and Diddy reported involvement of powerful political agents in scandalous crimes and the use of blackmail to implement policies, creating actual Kakastocracies in the guise of democratic republics. Given the power of the politicians named to date in these scandals, including heads of state, elite scientists, Hollywood icons, and the extremely wealthy corporate executives, the influence of corruption is grossly understated in media reporting - which obviously CYA's because of the corruption of that industry, which is widely understood and acknowledged for more than a century by candid comments from powerful journalists, documentarians, and since the revelation of Operation Mockingbird - and inconsidered by most people that pay as little attention of politics because it is so scandalously corrupt.

Additionally, the basic math of democratic elections reveals upon cursory examination that the myth of majority rule is simply mathematically impossible. Because only ~half the population is eligible to vote, even with 100% participation of the electorate a majority of the population never votes for the winning candidate in any election. Indeed, because of low participation rates in most democratic elections less than 30% of the population votes for the winner. Then we can add the affect of corruption to degrade the myth of democratic rule of the majority of polities, which most of us grossly underestimate to an extreme, but given appropriate weight (according to the power of the known compromised parties, which include all recent US Presidents, for example) it is reasonable to estimate that democratic elections are actually dominated by election fraud (the result of corruption applied to the institutions that manage elections) and the impact of electorates on elections is negligible.

"In a post-truth world, I have the right to formulate my own truth."

We all have the right and power to ignore reality, but the definition of that is insanity, and I would not consider that desirable. By the consideration I have provided above, all of which is independently verifiable, there is a reasonable basis for dissenting from enemedia propaganda and corrupt government oppression. Resorting to a fantastic imaginary world is unnecessary. Simply acknowledging that corruption has infiltrated government satisfactorily explains the observed oppression and false claims that underlie it.

"...stupidity on the other hand is a terminal condition. Terminal not only for those afflicted, but also for the rest of us who have to suffer the consequences."

I submit that the corrals sheep are restrained by are only suffered by those that remain in the herd. Only being dependent on the herd of sheep results in suffering the consequences the herd experiences. There are consequences to the rest of us that aren't part of the herd, but carefully considering what the herd will experience can enable us to anticipate what the consquences to we not members of the herd will be, and being forewarned is being forearmed. By considering what will come, we can rationally prepare to surmount expected challenges, even to prosper in the circumstances we can reasonably expect.

I am working seven days a week in order to do exactly that. I broke ground on a new greenhouse yesterday. I provide services to several communities locally, regionally, and across a broader landscape, in order to create not only redundancy, but alternatives should any one fail. Insofar as you can proceed to envision expected circumstances and the best ways to manage their challenges, I do urge you to take action today to enable availability of necessities in expected conditions, and operational flexibility that will likely be beneficial due to the fog of war we operate in today.

I don't really have time to properly proof read and edit this comment, so please forgive any grammatical errors. I'm working too much and have too little time, but I'm trying!
