Isn’t this current affair a public meltdown?

At this point, anyone who doesn’t think that Netflix and Google aren’t involved in a Nazi-level propaganda is either misinformed or part of the plan to erase White people from History.

All of the kids know.

There’s been countless memes about Google rewriting history with falsehoods, and Bing branding itself around giving the straight, dark answer. Everyone’s sharing screenshots of Google’s absolutely blank homepage on November 19th. Everyone’s sharing those pics of Google today, whether or not they are true, Google is getting a bad rep escalating by the day.

If given the choice between being criticized either way, wouldn’t it better to be on the side of the truth?

Google has chosen the alternative path.
