He wonders if it isn't right to ignore a minor matter, or just to laugh about it. Or...
And he offers us this historical pic:
Selective Memory Onset Goebbels Syndrome (SMOGS) strikes ever deeper into the daily reality of old people, but it remains very subtle as it slowly develops over time. At first one is hardly cognizant of the workings of the disease, as it's progress through the brain is so slow. Poor Nikolas is likely not even yet aware of the beginnings of SMOGS coursing through his synapses.
This affliction gets short shrift in the media jumble of today's manipulated reality, but it strikes viciously hard at politicians, whose memory and grasp of reality are not top fit in the best of circumstances, and can hardly be expected to remember precisely on which side of what wall when.
Some of you may get older as well, and then you'll remember to be less forgetful about the ravages of SMOGS. If you were more like Tony Bliar, you'd have more compassion for minor misplacements of reality over time.

It's like he can't hide the fact that he knows the joke is on us.
well it is!
i see the same revealing prepotenza in gordo's louche leers, bliar's smirking disingenuousness, berlu's comical narcissism, they're all actors and can't keep their masks from slipping occasionally.
they're there to be unctuous, commanding, whatever the public projects its needs to be for a leader, but the strain is hideous, and it sometimes shows... ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
