What's surprising to me is that people seem to think that the PsyOps stopped after the Iraq war.
That the Pentagon just decided "oh we're done with wars now, let's stop telling CNN/FOX/NYT what editorial content to push."
Anytime the mainstream media tries to drum up outrage I'm skeptical. That includes the narrative that Facebook/Twitter is the cause for social unrest and not the NYT/CNN/FOX.
The 2000s and were about manufacturing consent. The 2020s are about manufacturing outrage. You can say it's all about click-bait and getting eyeballs, but I'm skeptical this isn't the same people that started the Iraq war. They want civil unrest on purpose. People didn't want to live in a fascist society just because of Al Qaeda, so they needed a new enemy. So they tried to radicalize your gun-loving neighbor, dressed him up as QAnon Shaman, and now we have to live like 1984 because of him. It's absurd.
