At some point in every man's redpill and truther journey you just have to bite the bullet and accept that practically everything you've been taught is intentional bullshit and gaslighting.
The internet broke that spell and there's no going back to boomer levels of naive trust.
Even if those in power flood it with AI-generated people, deep fakes and bullshit, they can never regain the trust they lost.
I'd say reddit is at least 30% AI social engineering, maybe even 50%.
I'd bet money that almost all of the bullshit comes from intelligence agencies.
If the CIA, FBI, NSA and Israel ceased to exist, we would all be shocked by the sudden absence of bullshit and censorship. Like when the AC goes off in a room and you suddenly realize how fucking loud it was the whole time.
We would be back to the glory days of 2005 when it was a free-for-all. Everyone had decent internet and we called each other spics, niggers and kikes in the comments.
