    i tried to explain this to my normie CNN-watching mother when it first happened. I laid out the 10 consecutive things in a row that were all evidence he was murdered (having a roommate with a violent criminal record when he wasn’t supposed to, having sheets when he wasn’t supposed to, all of the cameras going out simultaneously, both guards being “asleep” simultaneously, the neck injury requiring significant force, more than a short drop…) she just rolled her eyes and said something to the effect of “do you really think all of the authorities are lying?”

    Some people really outsource all their critical thinking to the “authorities”. We fear the AI doing everyone’s critical thinking for them, but this has been going on for a while. TV beams the truth directly into noggin.
