Iran raising a red flag in war times? That's a bit. Sabrina Carpenters "persona" - she's doing a bit. In the pope election the cardinals locking themselves in a conclave and the white smoke thing - it's a bit. Everything is only a bit.
Maybe I'm just old and interpret too much into youth slang but - that's actually a HUGE cultural shift if young people think of nothing as authentic anymore. What even is authentic?

Can you blame them for thinking that nothing is authentic?

yes i do. Irony poisoning everything doesn't seem healthy.

I agree with you, but it's also hard to blame them for feeling this way. They had to live through COVID and the deranged Trump years when almost everything the mainstream media said was a lie, and it's becoming more and more obvious that the adults and supposed "experts" can't be trusted. If all the successful people, the people they're told they should strive to be like, are all inauthentic, then why would they not see the world through such jaded eyes?

Wait - did the media stop lying?!?
