People don’t talk to each other, they merely speak at each other. I am not entirely sure if people have ever talked to each others, but I’ve recently noticed how difficult it was to have a meaningful conversation with anybody. Conversations all seem vacuous and express nothing but false pretenses. How can our society move forward at a time when all discussions turn to hysterical clashes where everybody tries to shoot the adversary down with shameless lies and ridiculous entitlements?

“Citizens of the United States of Europe, today is a historical day that will be remembered! You may already know that lately has been a really hard period of my life, particularly when I decided to resign from my position as the president of the Federation. Countless newspapers and journalists in the media have been conducting an unfair campaign against me ever since.

Days hardly get by without hearing about the latest scandal about Christian Zhu and his allegedly corrupted friends. So much that the controversy has become one of the hottest topics of discussion between colleagues and friends, separating those who support Christian’s legacy and those who think that the man was too white to be true.
