    This. Well explained and succinct.

    I would argue that the world before the internet was a more truthful place. The propoganda was insturctive format, IE tv/movie media, and not interactive format (shill internet posters pretending to be a real unmanipulated community) and thus more obvious to decide to look to bars, taverns, towns, farms... other people in general, for answers.

    In those times, if you traveled the world extensively, you would uncover truth. This is still true to a lesser degree today, but the internet successfully distorts minds the way prior media was unable to. The internet has also allowed for more truth in the outside to be more effectively destroyed.

    I have personal stories of my mind being distorted by internet "consensuses". I would find one answer about sonething online- only one- and find the reality was completely different. For ex, did you know that it was really, and I mean really, east to get cannabis products all over Europe in the 2000's through early 2010's? The internet would claim this was dangerous and nobody had anything. But it wasn't. Towns full of kids were doing these things out every night, in the middle of the towns! The cops didn't care. It was like alcohol. This changed after 2013, but traveling through these places... it was NOTHING like the United States. I could get cannabis anywhere I wanted! And I didn’t have to worry about anything at all. The internet completely lied— there was a fake consensus— because ACTUAL people from those places, or who've been to those places, would have known the truth.
