I had no clue the beheading video was faked and a video of the staged production that was hacked from McCain's laptop still exists on youtube. The list is too long to note here but this video was the most recent, actually in the past hour.

Short history: Here from TDW, which is how I was red pilled (yes I know not everyone here is a trump fan so we can skip the debate). Anyway, like most people, I have never hyper-questioned things that I simply accepted as reality from "trusted" sources. This is not for a lack of intelligence or curiosity, just a naiveté. I'm a pretty honest person so I tend to view the world through that lens. Otherwise why?

Today: I'm so disoriented and now suffering cognitive vertigo because down/up, truth/lies, awake/asleep - nothing has meaning anymore. I thought I was searching for the truth because I felt as though I was being deceived. Now I don't even know what truth means, let alone what it is. It's like this odd, paralyzing and perpetual limbo that has me feeling like maybe I'm not even alive. I thought I was supposed to feel vigorous - the matrix and rabbit holes and knowledge and fighting the information war.

2 questions: Why - what is the motivation in creating fake narratives that seemingly provide no gain? Does this new reality typically become easier?

Thank you
