We’re all being manipulated:

We’re all being manipulated.

We’re all being brainwashed every day.

The information warfare machine is alive and well.

Politicians and big tech want to keep it that way.

They don’t want you to think for yourself.

They don’t want you to critically think.

They don’t want you to question the information you hear.

They want conformity.

They want you to buy everything they’re talking about.

Stop.

Breathe.

Think.

Why are they pushing certain narratives?

Why am I seeing the same information all the time?

It’s all by design.

Now it’s easier than ever to manipulate you.

It’s you manipulating you against yourself.

The algorithm is built for you by you.

It keeps you coming back.

Believing in whatever garbage you’re watching.

We’re all watching garbage every day.

Keeping us distracted from what’s really going on.

Keeping us distracted from asking ourselves questions.

Keeping us distracted from thinking for ourselves.

This is by design.

This is how big tech works.

Incentivize you to keep coming back.

Incite an emotional response.

Easier to incite anger and hatred than love and happiness.

So what can you do?

Be aware.

Be conscious of what you’re watching.

Stop watching the news.

Turn off your phone.

Go outside.

The world will always have problems.

Watching the news makes it feel like you have to care about all of them.

You don’t.

You can’t change any of it.

It’ll happen whether you watch it or not.

Violence will always be a part of history.

You can choose to focus on it or step outside of it.

You can choose to destroy your ability to think or focus on yourself.

The choice is yours.

But it’s so hard when we’re being manipulated every day.

It’s so hard when war is going on.

It’s so hard when your ability to scroll never stops.

It’s so hard when you have a million notifications about nothing.

It’s so hard when your phone is designed to keep you coming back.

It’s hard to get out of that.

So detach from your phone.

Leave it in another room.

Turn it off at night.

Get out of the digital world.

Focus on what’s in front of you.

Focus on the people you love.

Be present.

Be aware of what’s happening.

We’re all being manipulated.

Stay vigilant
