>>510515982this is correct, but you probably greatly underestimate how much of what you see on the internet is this exactly. media personalities are just one form of it. more insidious is the perpetuating of 'memes' in the original sense - bits of information, words, concepts, that get dumped into the content troughs to prime people as part of a psychological nudging exercise.
It doesn't matter to them what you think /about/ a topic, concept, or person. What matters is that you /are thinking about it/. Once you recognize you're seeing a slop feed disengage with the topic/idea entirely. What's the deal with the Epstein shit? I don't care at all and pay zero attention. Intelligence operatives hate me.
