Social Media is NOT a Representation of the world

Do you ever see something online and internalize it but then realize that your own lived experience disproves this person's perspective and that you are essentially valuing the truth of another over your own?

A phenomena that i've seen occur not only with myself, but observed in other people is that:

Most people don't have enough real interactions with other individuals and the real world to make valid claims about the state of society and the beliefs of others. 

Most people's perspectives can be condensed to social media chatter and "hot" influencer takes --

Salty reddit threads and public forum gabber; nowadays, even bots and ai generated figures.

What i'd like to urge people to do more is partake in constant self-reflection. How many beliefs you hold are actually just....yours? How many can be accredited to the endless flow of chatter and noise imposed onto you subconsciously by complicated, highly-intelligent  INTERNET ALGORITHMS? 

I keep finding more and more shit in my brain that isn't mine and it's scary because I realize I am being systematically programmed by a foreign entity who's intentions I am unaware of.

Now more than ever, your attention is your greatest asset. This is what they want to take from you. Because if they have your attention, they have your mind. With multiple minds, they have an army of soldiers who have been unknowingly trained to fulfill their agenda. To serve and obey, whilst under the impression of individuality and righteousness.

What so dangerous here is that we're all think we're self-governed. It creeps up so subtlety, the deception. You won't even notice it. 

IF A NARRATIVE SERVES YOU, you must be wary of the fact that it is coated and dressed to your preference (which they are extremely knowledgeable about; they've been studying you for years!), yet underneath lies a neat and carefully constructed agenda who's compliance in, will oppress those around you, and ultimately, yourself.

IF YOU ARE SHOWN A WORLD OF BLACK AND WHITE, know you are being deceived. Nothing is ever so simple. You are being shown a half-truth. One side of a coin. It's incomplete and therefore invalid. Discard of it immediately and disengage until you have conducted extensive research on your own (how much can we trust the sources available to us though?)

IF YOU FEEL HATRED, Stop. You are playing into their hands and in doing so, serving their agenda. By directing your hatred towards other beings, not only are you partaking in your own separation and division, but you are ultimately falling victim to misdirection. "Put the attention on another to evade capture. " Remember that, because that slogan runs rampant in the media we consume everyday. ++ The solutions they sell you, are from the problems they've caused.

Nothing is as it seems on the online world. Be wary of EVERYTHING you consume, even if it feels genuine. They control everything. And if you don't pay attention now, they'll control you. 

Take care of yourself.
