I think the division is by design… I have never trusted governments

I Feel like I'm losing my mind with how easily everyone is emotionally manipulated by propaganda. Let's face it propaganda has evolved like everything else and you simply cannot blindy trust the government.

I am a life long conspiracy theory enthusiast especially when it comes to corruption in government because more often than not… they are not theories just conspiracies.
SO MANY EXAMPLES of things in the past that were conspiracy theories. Then came out in declassified documents as in fact, well orchestrated conspiracies.

If we are this easily manipulated by cell phones then what does it really mean to be free? Who benefits from everyone "choosing a side" and being divided? Why are small electronic devices able to invoke more emotions than real first hand experienced events in everyday life? Who benefits from physically disconnected yet a mentally reliant workforce? Why is it NOW we want to question what we are told?

I am under the impression that all of these hyper emotionally charged events being broadcast everywhere instantly to our cell phones is in fact by design. Can I prove it personally? No but it seems like the patterns of propaganda are all there. Plus a lot of extremely suspicious things like AI, government funded "citizen databases", and pretty much anything else around the world you have heard of that essentially puts people/governments in more control of their given populace all seem to be obvious and true.

So why are we not focused on what we are not seeing? Well because we are not seeing it. A good magician makes you believe in what you think you are seeing. You have to question yourself to even consider investigating for the answers. What if we are all both "right" and "wrong" would it really be an earth shattering reality check? 🤔 To me no, but I have never trusted anyone to have my best interest in their priorities except me.

If control is the objective than we gave up our freedom with smartphones or maybe even earlier. A cellphone is the perfect tool because all the benefits blind our basic critical thinking and threat analysis. We freely give up insane amounts of information about ourselves, happily speed reading or just blindly confirming the terms and conditions.

Worst part is… I am guilty of it too. I can see the risks, possibilities, or conspiracies and yet I am unclear on an actual solution. What a weird place to be… I am sure I am being lied to all the time in the form of emotionally charged narratives. Either directly from my phone or from a friend who got it from their phone… yet I don't stop using it. Because "I need it" just like everyone else.

Basically I am pretty positive there is a group of people benefiting greatly from all the "moral" division and using all forms of media to push propaganda that cleverly conceals their true motives. I just can't definitively explain how exactly everything is happening or why. Nor can I see a true resolution.

Snowden told us the government was spying on us and we didn't really care for more than a few months. We certainly didn't actually do anything about it. So how is it any different than knowing you cannot trust everything you read/see/hear on the internet, in the news, or on social media, shit even in person… yet still doing it so quickly and effortlessly. We are all pawns on the board… expendable but not useless by any means. OK I am rambling at this point… give me your thoughts, theories, or insults. I welcome it!
