I do agree. Everything surrounding us and influencing us is fakery.

Isn't this exactly the trouble with society today? That so much focus has been on becoming those seen in movies, in television, in essence becoming fake? In my novels, I speak specifically about being who one is, regardless of what that is, being true to oneself. The downside of which is that if one is a liar and a thief I seem to be saying, "then do that well and accept it" but I feel that it reaches further out. Recognize the essence of oneself and pursue that vigorously. Be true to oneself. If adjusting that to be what one wants to be and is willing to go through the pains and effort to do so, then certainly, create oneself, but to create oneself through lies and deception is not moral or ethical. To strive for and become that which one chooses to be is worthy of praise and the effort to do so.

I used to work with TecNica during the Contra Wars. Ben Linder was murdered on one of our windmill sites.

Once the Sandanistas lost Ortega sold out, not that he was not prior. After though yes indeedy. Poor Nicaragua. Too close to the USA. A pawn in Great Power politik.

Now I see China moving in everywhere USA abandoned.

I think of Fuentes or Galeano when I look South of the Rio.
