Once you see how much the media and officials in society’s institutions lie, you can’t unsee it. A decade ago, the lies may have been subtle, so much so that it was rational to think them simply differences of opinion or error. Today, people in positions of power, such as media figures, politicians, and representatives of major institutions will tell audacious lies with such zealousness and authority that one feels crazy if he or she does not believe them. This is where the gaslighting becomes frustrating.
There are many people who do not have the bandwidth or the inclination to ever question what they are being told. This is especially true when what they are told confirms what they believe by nature. People who don’t question official narratives or look at alternative sources of information are so frustrating.
Seek the truth; Speak the truth; Be fearless.
