Manipulating (e.g. "people who down vote [sic] refuse to believe"), spreading fear (e.g. "[mind manipulation occurs on] an 'industrial' scale"), and inflating one's own ego (e.g. "I am a renegade of thought control") contribute little to the discussion of this article.
That is all.
Thats why elections look like they look, that's why internet is not anymore a beacon of freedom and truth, but rather swamp of lies, manipulation and half-truths that one has to have a dedicated skill to navigate through. A skill many older folks (but not only them) simply don't have and probably never will, this covers ie my parents too.
Folks that will listen to those sweet little and big lies about how everything will be great without great changes and sacrifices, when reality is way more complex.
I think it is time to stop denying the exogenous of thought control. For the sake of world peace and all (your weaponized denial.)
I know you'll call me crazy, that doesn't make it untrue.
