That was a reductionist, conflating and chauvinistic piece of shit opinion piece. As if "reality" needs to be moulded by what the media and government shoves down our throats. They present us fabricated truths and cry foul when critical thought enabled individuals deconstruct their narrative. Problem is, the dissenters are few and far between.

I dont think so, I think nearly everyone not in on it at this point is dissenting about something.

They wouldnt be trying to censor memes and archive.is, so urgently, plus articles like this, and vice news race war baiting, and project veritas b.s., if we were an insignificant demographic.

True. I just have low expectations of the general public.

Or do you have high expectations of those who control the media to keep everyone in the dark and separate them from science, reason and their rights?

Well, they have the means and resources and are quite ubiquitious.
