Endless Wars and Adam Curtis's Hyper Normalization
from #241 - Live From Cleveland | The Tim Dillon Show · #241

Tim riffs on the US bombing Yemen and Syria without clear justification, comparing it to old ISIS-era propaganda, then critiques Adam Curtis's documentary style for stating the obvious.
- The U.S. continues to let Saudi Arabia carpet bomb Yemen without explanation or stated purpose.
- East Cleveland has more violence and chaos than Damascus, yet the focus stays on bombing Syria.
- Now wars get announced casually on Twitter instead of through carefully constructed false pretexts.
- Adam Curtis's documentaries explain how the world got this way, but Tim is exhausted by the diagnosis without solutions.
- The real question isn't why things look broken — it's how to get out of a system where no one believes anything anymore.
