…..this battle can never be won outright; it can only be fought and mitigated year after year after trying year. There will never be a conclusion to the conflict per se; there will only be temporary lapses in fighting that might well masquerade as totemic victories for devilishly lengthy intervals, only to have the remorseless hoaxes exposed for what they truly manifest—hoaxes, shams, ruses—and next be followed by still more of the same tedious, unceasing, unrelenting combat as before. There will never be an end to this skirmishing, only fleeting lulls in the fighting accompanied by false declarations of victory before warfare reignites once more and then again after that ad nauseum. It is a Sisyphean struggle if ever there was one, so don’t get your hopes foolishly raised that you will see a cessation of hostilities in your lifetime, and probably not even in the next generation’s either. Some things never ever change, and you can now count the ongoing struggle amongst those things…..
