…whether it was by a cult, by propaganda, by an algorithm, etc…

And did the person ever recover from it?

    You can hardly blame them. It’s a 24/7 onslaught of propaganda and it’s incredibly difficult to break out.

    And even when I initially woke up out of it I frequently questioned my sanity. Is this real? Is this actually what’s happening? How can nobody else see this?

    And then I wanted to go back to not knowing because of the incredible weight that knowledge puts on your shoulders, but it’s impossible. There’s no going back, at least for me.

      Do you realize you just quoted the first matrix movie nearly verbatim? ;)

      And yes, I get that. It feels weird af.
