Yeah no that's fake, 3.8 million views in 15 hours is a Mr Beast level of viewership so this is probably pushed to appeal to conformity bias as people see the views in such a short time and think "if it's got this many views so quickly it must be something entertaining/important"

Whenever I tried to redpill normie peers of mine, the most common comeback I would get from them is "i feel like if this stuff were true, then everyone would talk about it"

Everyone would talk about it if noticing reality wasn't coded as low class and borderline illegal. In the real version of The Emperor's New Clothes, Netflix makes shows where only stupid hicks can't see his clothes; the New York Times calls everyone who can't see it Nazis; studies are generated that show a correlation between brain damage and not seeing the clothes; social media posts pointing out the lack of clothes get tagged with fact checks about how the clothes really exist, if not automatically deleted for hate speech; and, when the child finally states the obvious in front of the Emperor, his parents quickly take him home in shame and hope the police don't kick down their door.

Spot on metaphor. The other ironic thing I noticed with these types of people is that they're not even above believing in conspiracies, just as long as its socially approved to do so(e.g. Russians hacking elections or systematic white privilege)

And even now the Republicans are only comfortable acknowledging some things as long as they can put the blame on antifa or China, but nobody else.

This has basically played out with

GamerGate

9/11

Covid

Covid's Origins

The 2020 US Presidential Election

The January 6th Capital Protest

And more.

Daring to question the media narrative gets you labeled terms such as a Sexist, Racist, Anti-Semite, Nazi, Terrorist Sympathizer, Terrorist, etc. The Media wants to decide the real events, including your real motivations & mind state.

One of my favorite comebacks, provides an opening to just tear their reality apart.

remember in the Matrix Morpheus said you can only go as far as showing people the door

I will still plant the seed. I want them to remember what I've said.

Not sure where/when that screenshot is from. That video is now 8 months old with 17 million views, so not really at a Mr Beast level. Her channel is obviously still pushed by "the algorithm," but even then, that video's viewer count is below average looking briefly at her account.
I get what you mean by the conformity bias though.

"15 hours ago" so I guess about 8 months ago then.

Anything is possible. Might be a re-upload.
