Lots and Lots of Lies

A long paragraph from the Rod Dreher’s Diary website describing flaws in our society about which we older persons need to worry.

They (Zoomers) have learned to have no respect for authority. Why should they? The institutions of our society, as they see it, have lied and lied and lied, and still lie. They still lie in many ways about race (e.g., refusing to be honest about black crime), they lied about Covid, they lied about males and females, and they forced the insanity of gender ideology on us all. The military lied about Iraq. The universities embraced and enforced ideologies of lies. The Catholic Church lied about sexual abuse, and the connection to the prevalence of sexually active gay priests honeycombing the institution. They lied about the benefits of mass migration and diversity. They lied about Trump and Russia. The political parties and their corporate allies lied about what globalism would mean for ordinary people.

I wish I could tell you there were items in the above list with which I disagree. That I cannot is quite an indictment of our society.
