        I think that’s called “gaslighting”. Or “doublespeak”. One of those.

            narratives dont work when you’re exposed to factual information - but if you willingly disbelieve and remain intentionally ignorant then all the factual information in the world wont change your belief. aka this thread and others like it for the last few weeks.
