Eh, it's is really the same exact thing, the Op is just trying to make it sound all "pseudo-mystical" rather than looking at it realistically.
We do create each other's reality... we can sense fear or happiness from each other... if everyone is worried that something bad is coming, spending habits change, social interactions change, etc. etc. etc. and we create a bad reality for each other.
If everyone is hopeful and optimistic, we pick up on that and we act outwards and make decisions that creates the good outcome.
Satan is the king of liars, so I suppose that it is somewhat satanic to present this as some "power" instead of reality.
You may perceive it as the same thing, but it's not. It's almost post modern really, what the OP is saying. Reality is not socially constructed.
There is an objective reality, which is sometimes unknowable. If we as primitives saw an eclipse as an angry moon deity attacking the sun deity, we may have a shared perception of that as reality, but what happened had a purely natural explanation that we understand differently given more advanced tools to measure and observe nature.
Shared emotions don't change physical reality, merely our perception of it. Plus, you don't know if you're experiencing the emotions the same way and at the same level. There are "animal spirits" (to use the Keynesian phase) that can occur with group think, but even then, it's just what people think other people are thinking without actually knowing. Public opinion polling only barely scratches the surface when it comes to understanding shared perceptions.
Does the cabal manipulate our emotions, and stoke our fears? Yes, that's what propaganda and advertising does, and what the OP is pushing back against. But they do not create our reality, any more than thinking happy thoughts to counter the cabal stoking our fears creates a different reality.
All good points and perhaps I am reading too much into a Facebook post, but I would conjecture that there are, effectively, two "realities" and the issue is a lack of lexical differentiation...
Our human civilization "reality" is as divorced as we have managed to make it from real, objective, reality. Finance, trade, technology, social norms... all of these comprise an objective reality despite not being the objective reality... global financial systems are utterly simulacra at this point, yet if they fail, people will starve and die as certainly as if a drought kills all the food in real reality.
Online interactions... at this point much of it is done with computer programs that are nearly indistinguishable from humans... this is a "false" reality but it affects society as much as the objective one.
That is where I say the OP is true... by creating perceptions and emotions and group ideas, people affect the absolute mortal reality that we live in despite it not being the objective one.
The objective one is always obscured to us, we have increased the complications of our "divination rituals" with machines and mathematics, yet it is still a faith-act to describe objective reality.
What you say in your comment is different than what the OP is saying.
