Why - what is the motivation in creating fake narratives that seemingly provide no gain?
People are easier to control if they trust authority and are taught that their senses are wrong.
Does this new reality typically become easier?
Depends. I find it exhausting. Especially dealing with the people who are still "plugged in". I'm pretty sure there's a way to turn it into a positive and use it to completely disconnect from current events, but that's currently beyond my circumstances so I can't really tell you anything about that.
Yep. If it goes through, they win. If it causes civil war, the US weakened enough to cement China as the sole superpower and they still win.
The only way they lose is if the civil war thing backfires so badly that it's over before it begins and just pisses off whomever is in charge to destroy china.
Aren't they already proposing rule changes? So pretty fucking high.
