The following was posted on the conspiracy subreddit yesterday- I think he has a point since I've noticed similar trends in my own circles. But given individual experiences are highly subjective, not sure how accurate this is across the nation. Can any of you comment on the validity or non-validity of this?
I'm starting to suspect that the real "Silent Majority" is a collection of people left right & center, who are rejecting the corporate media narrative, and have lost respect for mostly all politicians. I am also starting to suspect that this "Silent Majority" is way larger than we're lead to believe
How many people do you know personally that have lost faith in, or at the very least are now questioning the corporate media? How many of them surprised you, since you previously viewed them as the NPC-Type?
How many people do you see liking and sharing memes and posts that go against the norm?
Did you notice how much support the "Gamestonk Rebellion" got from all sides?
Do you find that the number of people who actually care about this impeachment trial is very low? How many of your friends and family see it as political theater wasting time that could be better spent on relief?
Have you noticed a lot more people turning to different forms of media?
Because of this pandemic we are basically being forced to only communicate through social media and apps. It's no secret that they can see pretty much everything we say and see, and what we are seeing is them turning up the propaganda to 100. We are seeing them go all in with divisive distractions, while artificial trends are bullied in to formation. We watch over the top hashtags get astroturfed to the top of platforms. We are seeing corporate media pushing for expanded government surveillance powers, while simultaneously trying to destroy independent media. While this is happening our president has spent his first 21 days signing an unprecedented amount of unpopular executive orders bypassing working with congress altogether. He's doing this surrounded by thousands of armed troops patrolling DC.
This doesn't sound like a government that is confident in it's ability to rule, this seems like the actions of people who are scared. What data are they seeing when they monitor us that's causing them to act this way? Why does it seem like we are witnessing the elites in panic mode, flexing their muscles in fear, hoping we don't call their bluff? As we sit quietly behind our mandated masks, it seems like theirs is slipping.
My condolences to you having to live in a province in Canada that is not based Alberta.
