It feels like topics I used to only see on r/conspiracy—like Epstein and the deep state—are now all over mainstream subreddits.

The US is doing what it always has done, only now the pretexts are weaker than ever. Did things really have to get this obvious before people finally realized that western governments only care about what’s best for the oligarchy?

    People have different levels for what they consider that other “people realized the truth”. Many communities are full of people that know the truth and when they act to change things get knocked down.

    As the Saint George Carlin once said “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

    There are a lot of really, really stupid people out there. Poverty, stress, hunger, etc make people even more dumber.

      Also there are infinite reasons for people not knowing things. You can not blame people for not learning things they do not know about existing.
